NFL24 THANKSGIVING
NFL THANKSGIVING FOOTBALL PREGAME SET
A CLOSER LOOK: THANKSGIVING SET
Happy Holidays! Our graphics team had the exciting challenge of designing a Thanksgiving-themed set for FOX NFL’s holiday pregame show. We blended festive elements with the bold, dynamic style of the FOX Sports graphics package. This was the 4th most viewed holiday show in history, peaking at 41 million viewers.
We used a virtual camera handoff to expand our environment beyond our LED stage. I was part of designing and building the set and landscape, optimizing 3D models and textures to maximize performance, set dressing, and…fun fact…there is a 3D scan of me in there driving the truck!
Art Director: Gary Hartley
Realtime Team: Dave Brown, Oscar Carrillo, Susan Largent, Jesse Larson, Jason Phipps, James Reed, Alex Seflinger
Producers: Jim Rodman, Chris Smith
PREVIS & MODELING
We started off with a blockout in Cinema4D to pre-visualize our set. We then created a modular barn kit that would serve as structure to build the barns on our set in the most efficient way possible.
CONCEPT
I moved the blockout over to Unreal and started filling the space with more detailed assets and set dressing to frame the scene.
