Why Steve Sabol?
NFL Films introduced everything that’s become a
cliché,” Inc. Magazine quoted Sabol as saying in 2006. “Montage
editing, bloopers, super slo mo, original music, keeping a camera on the
quarterback after he threw a pass. We were the first to mike a
coach.”
Before all of these became global movie archetypes,
Steve Sabol and his company had to invent and produce them. These
global archetypes have a strong local foundation here in the Philadelphia
area. see
