Tennessee creative goes above and beyond yet again for viral ‘dark mode’ football video

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) - Tennessee will don its black uniforms this weekend against Oklahoma.

The Vols are hard at work preparing for the game, and so is the Tennessee creative team. They have already spent many hours brainstorming and making content.

On Monday morning, Tennessee Athletics dropped the highly anticipated ‘dark mode’ hype video.

“Those renders we took. We did the math, and it took 144 hours to just render the video that we edited, and that was like a minute video,” Noah Halford, Assistant Director of Vol Football Creative Video, said.

It is a project they created all by hand using CGI.

“From the models, we shot some footage for and stuff, and the Neyland, we textured everything,” Halford said.

“All of the animations, like the character moving, it is all done by hand,”
