Background

Here's the Goal GIFs that were created for the Sharks 2017-18 season. These were posted on social media after a player scored or made a great save. Almost all of the players had unique animations that showed their personality or hinted to their nickname.

Process

The GIFs were created by taking player footage and rotoscoping the player out. Next, hand-drawn animation was overlayed from Photoshop and directly in AfterEffects. Each GIF took about 2-4 hours to complete.
