And just like that, we're off. Bran's first volley is literally a first volley, throwing the proverbial ball in play with a short happy animation. It's a bit more Flash than After Effects than I expected but it gives Jason's next volley a lot of leeway as anything can come next. I'm hoping we see some video down the line, bonus points if it's shot today in real time.
It's all about the tap
Bran's got a bit of genius here. In the last few seconds, there's a toe tap and most people might miss it. When you precede it with the pregnant pause, the toe tap is a challenge. It's not just saying "let's go" it's saying "BRING IT ON!"
Don't trust the happy face on that ball and don't listen to the cute laugh, because he means business and this thing is ON.
