Official Editor | Motion Graphic | Sound Design | Cinematic Storytelling | Scripting | Social Media Reels | Post Production Supervision

Travellers’ Guide to Indian Football (TGIF) is a long-format documentary series created by Sportfolio Productions that explores football culture across different Indian states. Each episode focuses on a region, its people, clubs, players, fans, and the social context around the game. The series was built slowly, thoughtfully, and very intentionally around storytelling, pacing, and honest conversations.

MediaSolz came in as the official post-production partner, handling the series at a structural level: editing, sound, motion, storytelling support, social media extensions, and final delivery — working closely with Sportfolio throughout the season.

Challenges Addressed by MediaSolz

Challenge Solution by MediaSolz 
Footage coming from multiple states, shoots, and timelinesWe set up a clean data management and versioning system so nothing got lost or repeated.
Long-format episodes risked losing viewer attentionFocused on pacing, rhythm, and scene order during series editing, not just cuts.
Weekly releases with tight timelinesTook ownership of end-to-end post-production so Sportfolio could focus on production.

Our Execution Approach

Series-Level Thinking

Our video production team of editors, scriptwriters, sound and motion designers, and animators ensures the series is one continuous narrative. This helped maintain flow across episodes, preventing each episode from feeling disconnected.

Storytelling Support During Post-Production

We also supported storytelling to tighten sequences where intent was strong, but structure was loose, ensuring interviews, visuals, and ambient moments worked together.

Sound Designing

Our sound design service added impact, intent, and purpose to the series. It helped in a smooth transition between scenes while maintaining consistency across episodes.

Motion & Visual Consistency

Motion graphics were designed to support the narrative without overpowering it — helping viewers orient themselves while keeping the focus on people and stories.

Social Media as an Extension

As part of the social media service, we helped create and edit 25 reels to help the series reach audiences who hadn’t yet watched full episodes. We received an overwhelming response on social media with 100k+ views.

Ownership Till Final Delivery

Throughout the five-episode series, team MediaSolz worked with TGIF on final exports, final checks, and post-production supervision. This ensured consistency across all content released.

The Final Result

TGIF Season connected deeply with its audience. Viewers consistently describe the series as “Something they hadn’t seen before in Indian football content”, “Honest, grounded, and emotionally engaging”, “Educational without being heavy”, and “Visually and narratively well-crafted”. Overall, TGIF Season One achieved strong organic performance across platforms, building a loyal and engaged football community:

  • 25M+ total views (YouTube + Instagram)
  • 20,500+ watch hours
  • 355,000+ engagements
  • 6,150+ community growth
  • 5 full episodes, 25 reels, and 2 trailers delivered

This sports documentary helped us showcase our skills in scripting, video editing, cinematography, sound design, and motion graphics. More importantly, it showed how structured post-production and close collaboration can shape content that audiences trust, engage with, and return to.
