He vividly describes his writing process for this theme which eventually became four foundational motifs. Robidoux introduces and lightly explores each of these four main motifs before demonstrating several different arrangements of the four to cover the gamut of emotional and narrative range of the NFL’s centennial campaign.
02:17 - Celebratory motif

13:11 - Toughness theme
13:47 - The Struggle theme
14:33 - Celebratory theme with nostalgia

23:34 - Culminations, his creativity brought him over 15 Emmy awards Which in my opinion is conventional. Robidoux influences me to stay positive with determination to never give up because although programming themes may be difficult, it can be a dramatic success if I stay focused.
