Work has finished on the last of the seasons pitch side LEDS for Manchester City Football Club. As a special thanks to fans, the club commissioned a screen saver with all 30,000 names appearing. This presented a few challenges to enable the cross platform application to playback such a huge collection of names and still be scalable for all monitors and displays.

Along with this, a viral for Mizuno has been signed off and live see project. The viral features Manchester City player and Paraguay International Roque Santa Cruz and also features light graffiti by Michael Bosanko.

Fri, 22-May-09 - STADIUM LEDS

Fri, 22 May 2009 00:00:00 GMT

Arguably my biggest audience yet! I was recruited to create animated banners for the LED pitch side displays around the City of Manchester Stadium by "Music". Various custom messages were transmitted from Manchester City via the pitch banners so several different designs were modified throughout the season. The LED animations were seen throughout the 08/09 season during premiership and UEFA matches. Created in after effects they were outputted as uncompressed AVI files for output.
