When the lights come up at Soldier Field this season, fans will be greeted by a bold new visual experience powered by Banner Studios.
The Chicago-based production company announced its creative partnership with the Chicago Bears on a multi-day shoot at the Walter Payton Center at Halas Hall in Lake Forest, Illinois, resulting in cutting-edge content that will electrify fans throughout the 2025-26 season.
The collaboration centered on three distinctive setups designed to give fans a bold, cinematic experience:
- 360° Rig with LED Screens: A fully immersive 360 degree rig captured multiple angles of players, complemented by custom LED screen backdrops for striking visual impact.
- Motion Control Camera + LED Walls: A precision motion control system combined with expansive LED walls featuring dynamic graphics brought modern energy and depth to the visuals.
- Projection on White Cyc: A clean cyc wall projection setup was used to capture supplemental footage, incorporating the Bears’ iconic brand look and feel.
The production yielded a range of deliverables, including the official game day open video that will premiere before every Bears home game at Soldier Field, as well as a high-energy hype video created for use across social media platforms and broadcast television. Banner Studios also delivered custom 3D interstitial graphics and opponent lockups to enhance the team’s creative assets throughout the season.
“We are so proud of this work and deeply value our ongoing partnership with the Chicago Bears,” said Patrick Dahl, President of Banner Studios. “Our team was honored to help bring the spirit, strength, and excitement of Bears football to life in a way that connects with fans on every screen.”
The project reflects Banner’s ongoing investment in innovative production technology and its ability to execute complex, high-impact campaigns for major sports organizations. Building on previous collaborations with the Bears, Banner has continued to expand the scale and sophistication of its work, from immersive LED environments to dynamic motion control systems, to creating content that resonates on every platform.
With the season underway, fans will see the results of the collaboration across stadium screens, television broadcasts, and digital platforms, showcasing Banner Studios’ creative and technical expertise at the highest level.
Approaching its 13th year, Banner continues to scale complex, tech-driven sports productions. The studio’s roots run deep in Chicago hockey as well, having produced signature content for the Chicago Blackhawks over multiple seasons.
