STRIKER

Striker has a fantasy to score for glory. One day he decides there is a way to bring his wish closer to reality. But when mom comes home for her shopping, it is clear that she would have wished he chose another route reach his dream. "Striker" was inspired by the Turkish Airlines European basketball league 2017 tag line "epic shot for glory". (For the record, I have no direct or indirect connection whatsoever to Turkish Airlines. I'm Irish!) I used Blender 2.78 and Gimp open sourse software. The textures I created as well as all models and animation. I do not have a powerful computer so I had to used realtime rendering shortcuts and low poly set ups. I used Blender's internal video editor to composite the shots and the sound effects. First I built all the models (character, setting, rooms etc) -I then baked textures to avoid using lighting and to faciliatate opengl rendering. I rigged and animated the models and the camera shots. The video textures were generated from my own footage and composited with models of a trophy, broken glass and nets for the three peices of live footage in the TV (2) and the stadium shots. It took aproximately 50 hours to from start to finish. (ok I am an amateur!) Thanks Bye!
