Fox Sports and Blur Studio used a mo-cap system to create the 20-second spot on Fox.
The animators also had to massage the mo-cap data to convey the incredible bulk of the football robot in this piece. “There were definitely a lot of things that we had to exaggerate,” CG Supervisor Jed Denjean recalls. “Even though USC running backs are pretty heavy, motion capture didn’t give us the sense of weight that you’d expect from a big robot. It is definitely the animator’s job to exaggerate that sense of weight.”
