Nickelodeon 2020 Kids’ Choice Awards
BRIEF
The Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards (KCA) is an esteemed annual event hosted by the Nickelodeon network. Celebrated for honoring outstanding achievements in television, film, and music, as determined by Nickelodeon viewers globally, the KCA is distinctive for its interactive format and the iconic sliming of celebrities.
This project focuses on the 2020 iteration of the awards, which never aired as originally advertised, due to the COVID-19 Pandemic.
Objective
In this project, students are presented with the unique challenge of “reconstructing” the composite of the Multi-Promax Award Winning, Emmy Nominated KCA 2020 "Hero Spot." This opportunity involves working with professional-grade assets exclusively provided to Ringling College.
Final Composite
This project was developed within the Ringling College course 'Compositing for 3D' under the Department of Motion Design. It's important to note that it was exclusively a Ringling College endeavor and did not broadcast on Nickelodeon.
Nickelodeon graciously provided our class with original plate footage, stock imagery, and animated assets from the Original KCA2020 Hero Spot, assigning us the task of replicating the composite 1:1.
My roles encompassed keying, rotoscoping, animation cleanup, color correcting, color grading, clean plate generation, and match-moving.
The animated components were contributed by Nickelodeon-employed artists:

During this Project, Nickelodeon Animation Director Tim Lines, and VFX Supervisor Ish Nazmi reviewed and critiqued our work.
