Arena

2006

Posthouse: Liga01 Computerfilm
Agency: Creation Club
Client: Arena

The client liked the look of the modelled stadium in the main spot so much that he wanted the stadium combined with the logo for an extra intro.

The stadium was modelled based on pictures of the Estádio da Luz in Lisbon. The whole modelling was done in XSI.
The crowd was done with particle instancing. We created about 10 different people and lots of different textures and props we randomly exchanged so we got a huge variety of different people out of the few basic low poly models.

For the appearing effect at the beginning I rendered some reflection and highlight layers and combined them in Fusion with a gradial ramp to create the moving light beams which build up the stadium.

Most of the time I spent on the camera animation because the client had a very special movement in his mind I had to transfer on screen.
