Authentic Sports Choreography for Film & Media
We turn scripts into believable sports action. From designing game sequences to training actors, we bring the intensity of the real court to your reel life.
The official trailer for 'Sitaare Zameen Par' is the best example of our work. We were responsible for all the basketball choreography, ensuring the sports scenes were not only visually exciting but also emotionally resonant with the film's powerful story about a team of children with special needs.
Go behind the scenes with us on a major film set. This footage captures our process of choreographing basketball scenes, collaborating with the director, and coaching actors on the spot to get the perfect take. This is how we translate real sports action into compelling cinema.
Our sports choreography extends to streaming series, as seen in our work on 'Big Girls Don't Cry' for Amazon Prime. We designed the basketball sequences to fit the show's storyline, training the actors to perform with confidence and authenticity.
Introducing our Head Coach and Basketball Choreographer, Sylvan Desmond. He was the creative force behind the sports action in 'Sitaare Zameen Par', leading the training of over 120 children and ensuring the film's basketball scenes were true to life.
Meet Coach Rohit Kanojiya, one of our dedicated basketball coaches who worked on 'Sitaare Zameen Par'. His role was vital in guiding the children with intellectual disabilities, demonstrating our team's ability to adapt coaching for actors of all abilities.
We are proud to feature Coach Vinit Selvaraj, another core member of our coaching staff for 'Sitaare Zameen Par'. His on-set guidance and training helped the young cast develop real basketball skills, making their performances genuine and inspiring.
About Film & Media Choreography
We don't just teach actors how to hold a ball; we choreograph sports sequences that serve your story's rhythm. Whether you need a character to look like a seasoned pro or a chaotic schoolyard game to feel authentic, we design the movement to match the director’s vision while ensuring every dribble and shot looks real on camera.
Making sports look real on screen requires more than athletic ability. It needs choreography that aligns with character arcs and narrative tension. We bridge the gap between technical coaching and cinematic storytelling.
Our Process
Pre-Production Analysis We break down your script to assess logistical needs, safety, and visual potential. We consult on hoop heights, court dimensions, and game rules to ensure the world you build is technically accurate.
Actor Training & Bootcamp We coach actors in the mechanics of the sport—dribbling, shooting, and game stance—so they move with confidence under the lights. We adapt our coaching methodology to ensure neurodiverse actors can perform with ease and authenticity.
On-Set Action Direction During filming, our team stays on the floor. We coordinate background players, manage scoreboards and game flow, and collaborate with your cinematographer to capture the energy from the right angles.
Our Experience
From working on Aamir Khan Productions' 'Sitaare Zameen Par' to Amazon Prime's 'Big Girls Don't Cry', we understand the pressures of production. We thrive on the challenge of making every scene feel like a live, high-stakes moment. Whether you are shooting in a Bandra studio or on location anywhere in India, we ensure the game on screen is as intense as the one in reality.
