Miami HEAT and STAR WARS collaboration was a super fun project for me to work on. This was an animation played throughout the all the LEDs in the arena, Kaseya Center.
The concept is the camera launching and traveling through space, as if it was from the point of view of a spaceship cockpit.
The last scene was the most fun. The camera lands on this scene after all the rapid movement, showing the Miami HEAT Ball and Flame logo, and a star wars lightsaber. I created a dry planet surface inside Unreal Engine and played with the camera movement and composition, to have a dynamic landing.
The animation departs from the destroyed hangar and launches into a middle scene, then the last scene. The hangar was lit and textured using Octane Render.
The animation had to be adapted into various sizes for the multiple LEDs found inside the arena.
