Winner
Lakers Game Open – Time Warner Cable Sports

Showcasing powerful, behind-the-scenes photography and art-based typography, this opening sequence puts you up close to the athletes’ emotions, drive and passion. No need for the more typical approach of fast-cutting game highlights and slam dunks when an opening unleashes this much creative force. It may not be much of a challenge to get Lakers fans excited before a game, but this opener amps up that natural adrenaline like few we’ve seen.
