Boom! Boom! The World vs. Boris Becker

The documentary focuses on the rise and fall of tennis legend Boris Becker, the youngest ever Wimbledon champion, who in his later years became a man convicted of fraud related to bankruptcy. We wanted to capture a slice of his extraordinary life and career, while simultaneously presenting an iconic image that fit perfectly within the Apple TV+ aesthetic.
We approached the task from all angles, slowly narrowing in on visuals that conveyed conflict and struggle. We wanted to maintain the imagery of tennis and Boris, while adding a unique take that would be memorable. After figuring out how to combine Boris, the court, and the struggle all into one concept, it was game, set, and match.
