Road to Rocket League 2019

Client: TBS Studio: WarnerMedia Studios Role: Motion Designer, Art Direction Year: 2019

Shortly after joining Turner Studios, Sarah Boussy and I won our first pitch: the look for the ELEAGUE docuseries covering the Rocket League Championship Finals. Hexagons, glitches and data packets build a futuristic, high-stakes world around players fighting for the title.

Process

Most of the animation runs on alpha mattes. I sketched displacement and matte ideas with Fractal Noise, shape layers and expressions, Trapcode Particular and PixelPolly in After Effects, then built the hexagonal reveal in Cinema 4D for the control its Fields give.
