Out of Control with Creative Works

One of the most rewarding and fun projects we’ve worked on for a while…

A few months back, we pitched an idea to our partner Liverpool FC to hand over control of a player appearance to a group of young people from the LFC Foundation initiative Creative Works. They would design the look & feel of the set, come up with the questions and, ultimately, interview three first team players. LFC partner Kodansha, who sponsor the Creative Works programme, loved the idea, so we set about our task.

We invited our interviewers down to set builders Yeti’s studios in the Liverpool Docklands for a crash course in pre-production. They came up with some fantastic ideas for the set, which Yeti were tasked with bringing to life. Meanwhile, we helped them think of the questions to ask, from the outlandish to the insightful, and ran a series of practice interviews to help build their confidence ahead of the big day.

Check out how they got on below and scroll down for the ‘making of’, where you can find out more about Creative Works and the stars of the show:
