Going Live tomorrow

January 17th, 9pm Est on ESPN. North Carolina vs Miami. We did all the pregame intro animations and transitional graphics for the game. The game was sponsored by Infiniti.  A few months of work for thirty seconds of show. Its crazy how this business works.

What exactly are you talking about??

For real? Did you even read what I wrote?

Ok, let me break down.
January 17th, 9pm Est (tomorrows date as of January 16th) on ESPN (This is a cable sports network). North Carolina vs Miami (These are two college sports teams that will face each other on said network at said time/date). We did all the pregame intro animations and transitional graphics for the game (This part outlines that I worked on visual elements for the afore mentioned event). The game was sponsored by Infiniti (...etc).  A few months of work for thirty seconds of show (Nearly four months ago this project was just a set of story boards. Four months of my life spend toiling for 30 seconds of razzle dazzle). Its crazy how this business works (Working at a visual effects studio is typically very time consuming and taxing for what we are expected to deliver).

So thats it. I always get very excited when something I worked on goes live on TV nationally. Its like having this pet you raised and now its ready to go on its own so everyone can see it, and totally forget about it the next day... I'm ready to have some fun this weekend.

Sounds pretty cool, I will try in tune in to check it out.

I don't have ESPN, so I won't get to see it.  However, I'll say "good job" now because I've found that few people on Giant Bomb's forums actually fail at anything, including life and/or visual effects.

Not much into sports, but congrats man. It sounds like a big deal.

Good work, would be nice if you could record and upload to the tube for all of us to see! :)
