EDMONTON OILERS CONTENT DAY + OPENING NIGHT
The Oilers reached out to BallerFX to create toolkits for their 2023-24 season that encompassed their content day and opening night LED board needs.
Needing a high volume of content for 25 players in both orange and blue Oilers brand look for 2023-24, assets were built programmatically to allow for volume rendering.
Delivering over 200 assets in total, BallerFX rendered out 4 LED's per player for content day, and 6 assets per player for opening night.
CONTENT DAY LEDs
For the Oilers Content Day shoot, the team was using two big boards behind players. One board was for first name, and the other was last name.
The brand assets and players number was also included in both screens.
In order to create these boards programmatically, and set up for rendering, the boards needed to be properly prepped with animation and toolkitting to solve for varying lengths of players names while maintaining the look + feel.
Each set of boards were rendered in orange + blue.
OPENING NIGHT LEDs
For Opening Night, the Oilers had planned to have six LED walls for players to skate through during introductions.
The back wall (top middle) needed to include player's green screen headshot, and be high enough to not interfere with the drummer that would be performing near the lower part of the screen.
There are two side boards for first and last name, and all boards include player's number.
The boards are offset in a cascading fashion to match the timing of when the player skates by each board set. Starting with the top middle screen, and working outwards with the lower sandwich board as the final board.
