Contest Brief

Hi All,
I need a simple animation of a person kicking a ball from a stand still position. To put this into perspective I have attached a wire frame of a game screen. The ball will come from the top or right hand side of the screen towards the players foot. When the player presses a button the footballer will then perform a kick motion which is the animation I need. The player will mostly be vollying the ball from the air just in front of him.

I want the animation to look clean and simple. I want it to also look like its a proper kick not like a slow effortless kick...
I don't need the ball in the animation just the kicking motion from a standing position along with any other movements that this action might cause.

The actual footballer can look how you want... male obviously :P. White or tanned skin, hair style / kit I'm not to fussed about. The ball radius will be about 90 pixels so please take that into consideration when doing the feet. Its the feet that are the most important part as that will be the part that will actually do anything in the game when it makes contact with the ball.

If you can upload GIF files so I can see what your animation looks like it will improve your chances of winning.

If you want you can upload just an image of your footballer first to see if I like the general look before creating the animation / spritesheet to save you doing loads of work that may not win the contest.

The file format I need for the full version is in a Photoshop PSD file.

The animation should be made of between 3 - 6 frames. Each frame should be around the size of 480 pixels by 960.
The frames should then be put side by side with a transparent background and no borders into one PSD file that I can scale down as needed.

I have attached an image to show an example of this. Obviously for illustration purposes I have put borders in but in your version please remove any borders you use for working out the frame sizes. In this example its made up of 4 images side by side. Each image is 480 pixels wide (x) and 960 pixels long (y). The total image size of the sprite sheet in that case is 1920 pixels wide (x) and 960 pixels long (y). In each frame the stick man image moves slightly. When converted to a GIF it looks like an animation of him kicking.... (obviously not my one as I can't draw but yours will be a lot better :D).

Any questions then please ask!

I have a very limited budget at the moment but there might be more work for this game within the next 4 weeks, in which case it will be offered to the contest winner first before anyone else so there is the potential for repeat work. I will comment and rate every contest entry as I do appreciate the time it takes to do these designs and I will give my honest opinion of the design and whether I see it fit for my purpose or not.

Thanks for looking and good luck!

Kind Regards,

Krivvenz.

Hi Design4Pro - Yes its for part of a game. Sprite sheets are pretty simple. Just basically a comic strip of a few images in one horizontal line :). Sounds like your experienced :).
