Synopsis: The Ultimate Fighter 27 is a series of commercials promoting the 27th season of the MMA competition aimed at awarding a UFC contract. I was asked by Radley Studios to assist in creating a series of animated motion graphics for the editor to incorporate into fast-paced commercials during the television series.
Project Keyframes:
My responsibility was to create teasers for the start of the season, introduce the fighters and coaches through name IDs, add transitions, and provide end pages for each broadcast. I also helped with texturing, lighting, rendering, and compositing an octagon for footage of fighters and coaches on black and applied final color correction and color grading to designated shots. The work involved both 3D and 2D animation as well as compositing and color grading.
