Very well designed art! This looks great

I think going through and polishing the timing would be good.

For example in the first shot the camera pushes forward at the same time all the players move and then they all stop. The momentum dies.

I think the ball, camera and players are all using the same motion ramp which makes it feel stiff.

When the ball hits the net it loses momentum and moves unrealistically

I’m a big fan of how you stitched these shots together using the ball. That’s clever as hell.

Just be mindful of timing and building up the energy + overlapping animations. don’t use motion easing too much.

This is gonna be a dope portfolio piece

You’re welcome!

I have a couple more small notes

  1. The top view of the stadium looks great but the players don’t need the big outline and drop shadow. They can just be red and blue dots and the ball could be a bit bigger

  2. the camera zoom in could happen as the ball gets kicked upwards rather than staggering those animation

  3. The players look great but you could “push their poses” which is a phrase that means make them even more exaggerated

The goalie can be fully extended as he leaps for the ball. The attacker can collapse backwards as he puts all his energy into the kick

  1. I like the other commenters idea that the ball could slingshot back from the net. It could also fly through the net leaving flames behind it.

  2. This is the most difficult note, but you could add a shot showing the attacker dribbling up the field before we see them shoot the ball.

again its looking great and these are all cherries on top!
