Here are some generic crowd prompts and game reactions we used throughout the season. Each proof is followed by a camera shot of the arena to show real-world application:
This was one of my absolute favorites. I put a lot of detail into creating and animating the license plates and stickers.
This ball was created by manipulating a Basketball skin texture in photoshop. Then I used Element 3D to create the model. Next, I brought the 3D model into After Effects where i animated its movement. If the resolution is high enough, you can see the texture on the black Background is also a basketball texture.
We ended up using this prompt several times a game. Very Saber heavy. An ode to dive bars and neon signs!
This one tested my patience for sure. Our Executive Producer wanted a prompt that involved this specific artwork of Giannis's shoes, and I spent so many hours trying to figure out how to get the shoe laces to animate along a path with the aglets always staying at the beginning and end... I was hellbent on that being included in the design, then I finally found a finnicky plugin that gave me the result i was looking for!
Believe it or not, the animations on this one were way faster upon the first couple drafts. I always have a knack for making my animations crazy and fast and in your face. Either way, i like this set. It adds great energy right before tipoff!
This was an offseason project which gave me plenty of time to work on all the little details like the glowing cracks in the rock and the smoke and shake
This one is pretty simple. This was the third or fourth version with different color ways and textures to match our theme for that game. I liked the bark, so figured I would choose this one to share. It's pretty simple on the computer-screen proof, but I think it plays well in the arena.
