Leicester City Football ClubFilm2022

An animated introduction to a film on Leicester City's FA Cup history, drawn from the club's historic archive.

A short animation sequence for Leicester City Football Club, made as the introduction to a longer film on the club’s history in the FA Cup: five finals, with the cup finally won in 2021. The club’s extensive historic archive gave the sequence its material, from match photographs to newspaper cuttings. Concept styleframes and a tester video came first, before the final animation.
