All of the All Blacks game and training footage you'll see in the film is exclusively shot for Cup of Dreams, bar two minutes of archival footage. I was able to go on the field and film the All Blacks play a Test Match against South Africa in Wellington, which is where most of the rugby footage originates from. I hoped to capture the game in a way we dont normally see, favouring the intense emotions and almost balletic movements of the players rather than the traditional wide-angle coverage we're accustomed to.
