Nick Freeman - Freelance Motion Designer / Art Director
We’ve worked on a lot of sports projects, but this has to be one of the highlights. We were approached by our friends at Twelfth Man to help with the production of the Champions League title sequence and final graphics.
We custom modelled the Champions league starball creating a bespoke plug-in for Cinema 4D that allowed for multiple animators to have complete control over how the ball animated whilst rendering a consistent and polished finish.
For the title sequence we 3D tracked four iconic shots from the season so far and composited the Champions League starball around the key player, following the movement of the shot and highlighting the key moment in the match.
For the final we created endboards, menus and loops featuring the European Cup together with the Champions League starball in a premium studio environment.
