“Not only are the players the artists, but so too are the characters,” said Kevin Weekes, who is calling the special broadcast.
ESPN commentators Kevin Weekes and Drew Carter are calling the virtual game wearing motion-capture suits that allow full-body animations of themselves to appear in the Big City.
The broadcast features characters from Disney’s comedy series “Big City Greens” skating alongside animated versions of the NHL players.Facial recognition technology is being used to imitate the reactions of Chris Houghton, the animated series’ co-creator/executive producer, and actor Marieve Herington, who voices Tilly.NHL.com“Hopefully that ends up translating into the broadcast itself because we’re being transported, certainly for me, I’ll be transported into a different world.
The animated broadcast is mirroring the real-life on-ice action taking place at Madison Square Garden.“Not only are the players the artists, but so too are the characters, and now we’re going to kind of merge and integrate those two in the storytelling via the animation and via that technology,” Weekes added.
The special broadcast is a collaboration between ESPN, Disney Channel, and the NHL. The real-time animation is produced in association with ESPN Edge Innovation Center and NHL EDGE Innovation partners Verizon, Beyond Sports, and Silver Spoon.Share this article:
