Cinematic motion systems for NFL, NBA, NHL, and MLS franchises — one language for every screen in the building and every moment of the game
( FROM GATES TO GOODNIGHT )
Most teams buy graphics one screen at a time — a board package here, a social template there — and the brand fractures a little more each season. We build the system first: one motion language that reflows to every surface without losing its identity. When the ribbons, the mainboard, the broadcast, and social media all move the same way, the whole building feels like one brand.
We produce to the standard of the world's luxury houses — cinematic CGI, hand-crafted 2D animations, every frame rendered to final before it ever touches a board.
A spreadsheet for every moment in the game.
We work with your team to track and build with precision, the hundreds of renders needed to pull off an amazing show. Our spreadsheets are comprehensive, our progress tracking makes sure no asset gets forgotten or rendered improper.
Done before opening night.
Every meeting runs on workback schedule pegged to your season - system build in the off-season, rolling handoffs through training camp, everything delivered before opening night, and quick-turn support when the playoffs or a new sponsor land. No cliff-edge delivery: templates and toolkits transfer to your in-house team in phases, so your designers can version weeks ahead of opening night.
Stolen Light is the studio of Topher Schultz — a decade of game-day motion for teams across the NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB, and MLS. He has directed in-arena motion design for dozens of franchises, with work that has earned ten regional Emmy awards and multiple IDEA Golden Matrix awards. Now that experience has a name on the door.
