Character animation
NBC Sports · Road to the Playoffs
All 32 NFL teams in a go-kart race to the playoffs.
NBC Sports (Sunday Night Football), via STN Digital
Sunday Night Football wanted a fun way to show the playoff race. STN Digital brought CrispFX in to turn it into a go-kart race.
The approach
Characters for all 32 NFL teams race around a track, and each week they move up or drop back based on the results.
What was delivered
- Two animated illustrations, AFC and NFC
- About a minute each, square for social
A season kickoff animated from another artist's illustrations, a jet ski race to the Super Bowl and an American Ninja Warrior playoff recap.
Animation by Greg Stewart, CrispFX, for NBC Sports via STN Digital.
