The thrill of victory, the agony of defeat. It’s all in the face. See the work of Technicolor Animation & Games in the highest quality facial animation for the hotly anticipated NBA 2K20. Using data captured from actor performances via head-mounted camera, the team – including 20 animators at peak times – worked on facial animations and polishing of the main players, as well as commentators Kenny Smith, Magic Johnson, and Shaquille O'Neal in the pre-game, halftime, and post-game shows. The team then went on to polishing mo-cap body animations for post-game shows. It all contributed to making NBA 2K20 and its next level features the closest thing to playing in the real league!
