Abstract
The broadcast animation division of High Voltage Software was contracted by the Chicago Bulls Organization to complete an animated opening to be shown at the United Center and on television before each home game. A team of animators and compositors developed a production pathway based on the use of motion capture data to coordinate the use of high-end NURBS based animation and lower-end polygonal based animation tools, and compositing software
