My first project about videogames and eSports (and I'm really proud of it =D)

eSerie A TIM is the official competition that replicates Serie A league, the soccer major league in Italy.
In 2023 it has been based on Electronic Art's FIFA 23 and Sony Playstation 5.

I was commissioned to make this video for that edition.
The video was played as the opening for every match streamed on Twitch, and on social channels, to launch the championship.

This project will give a lot of satisfaction: to the client, to the agency, but most of all, to me =D

The brief

The agency wasn't sure if they would receive gameplay footage, so the initial request was for 30" of animation that could lives alone.

One of the main values ​​of the project had to be inclusivity within the eSerieA gamers community.

So I thoung a fast travel of a gamer on his sofa which is catapulted on the vitual field witho other gamers.

Starting the design

I got a huge creativity control in design and direction.
I chosen a very saturated palette, and I started to develop the main characters.

(surprisingly) the client requested very few changes for this project...

Too saturated!

One of the few requests made by the client was to touch up the skin color of the Caucasian players: the fuchsia was too strong!

easy-peasy!

Tools and processes

I mixed a lot of tools:
Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator with a Wacom One tablet, to design and illustrate.

Adobe After Effects and Limber plugin for the character animation and compositing.

Adobe Animate CC for frame by frame vfx and the "run" cut. I used a reference for the run cycle.

Cinema 4D to model and move the 3D backgrounds.
