ESL Pro League CS:GO
It was an honor to help our friends at ESL headquarters in Cologne, Germany refresh the Pro League brand and create an extensive animation package for broadcasting the live games. Our favorite part of the process was creating the open, which required a virtual shoot using a greenscreen map within Counter-Strike:Global Offensive.
ESL CS:GO (Legacy Version)We knew from the beginning that the open would incorporate the iconic characters, actions, and settings from the game. To get everything in its purest form, we built some custom green screen maps and jumped into the game engine for our shoot. CS:GO has a record and playback feature, so once we acted out our scenes we could view the characters from any angle and export image sequences. Here are some highlights from our virtual shoot:
