Davidson Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Thought you guys might like this piece I made recently.Its a slightly tongue in cheek guide to American Football for people with no experience of the game.In the UK, with the International Series game, one of the big terrestrial channels has bought the rights to the NFL, so there is a bit more interest over here recently.I thought this might qualify as sports related if not design.https://vimeo.com/84751465NB. it seems the Seahawks will be wearing blue pants away for the Super Bowl which I totally fluked! It looked nicer than having a team play all in white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davidson Posted January 22, 2014 Author Share Posted January 22, 2014 Thanks guys, much appreciated.Have just realised that the 'Safety' at 1:45, probably isn't as it comes off a defenders head.Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieRose Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Ha, that was one of the best things I've seen in some while! Very well designed and narrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drdougfresh Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I've been dying to see the whole thing after all the teasers on Dribbble... very entertaining. Love your animation style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparkychewbarky Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 That's fantastic Fraser.The 'fly-over' at the 11 sec. mark is spectacular.Re: the 1:45 safety...I think it would still be a safety.A ball bouncing off yer brain-bucket isn't considered 'possession'.

stumpygremlin Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 The 1:45 safety is still a safety. The ball bouncing out of the back of the offensive team's end zone is a safety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmoe12 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Great video! I love the flyover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevsim1 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Great video! I love the flyover.Totally agree. Everything here was TOP-NOTCH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slapshot Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Thanks guys, much appreciated.Have just realised that the 'Safety' at 1:45, probably isn't as it comes off a defenders head.Oh well.QB fumbled and lost possession before it hit defender's helmet. Once ball bounces out back of end zone, defense scores a safety.(I'm a referee, I'm qualified to answer questions about regulatory minutia. Or is it minutiae?)

CS85 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 It got some nice exposure on reddit, kind of cool to see FD getting so much deserved praise there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marble21 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I've seen this pop up on twitter a few times too. Seems to be getting the attention it deserves but mostly from people already involved in the sport here in the UK..You should try and get a shout out for it on the Super Bowl pre-game show or something. I know a lot of non-football fans in the UK stick around for that bit before getting bored by the actual game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
