We recently started a new elective course at school entitled Sports Information & Technology. We have one of our students working on an animated version of our playbook. The link below details the first play the student worked on. What would you all add? Weaknesses? server2.noble-hs.sad60.k12.me.us/~npepin/site/football.htm |

Could you add a pause feature? Would you be able to insert player numbers in both the offense and defense? What about a tag of title, formation, etc.?

Excellent - I hadn't thought of #'s. For some reason it isn't showing the formation and play in the internet version, but it is there. Our thought is to include a DVD with the paper copy of the playbook we give out. That way, players would have both a paper copy with explanation and coaching points by position plus the animated version.

Slow it down. Rewind, pause.

This looks great. What tool did you use to create it? Couple of small things - - the pulling Guard is moving before anyone else - the players are moving a little too fast - the defense dosen't move unitl the offense contacts them - have them move move forward initially before being blocked. - the outside LBs are missing (or whatever 2 players) - the QB doesn't mesh with the TB correctly - the field numbers are messed up Here's a sample of one of ours -  |

Mav: What did you use to create that animation? How long does it take you to create each play?

Mav: What did you use to create that animation? How long does it take you to create each play? It's created with PowerPoint -- then saved as an animated gif image by Camtasia. Here's the PPT file. www.savefile.com/files/1366067 I want to be careful not to highjack jgould's thread. If you'd like more detail, just start another thread in the Tech area. |

The 9 tech has GOT to get at piece of the TE and squeeze the down block...WHO THE HEII is coaching the defensive ends???  Looks good though. You guys do know you can do the same thing with Playmaker Pro right? PlayMaker's animation is VERY limited, IMO. The only way you can control the timing is with 1 second increments. Also, it's difficult to share becuase of it's proprietary nature. Could you post an example? We never got it to look right, so we quickly abandoned it. We love Playmaker for quick drawing, but never spent much time with the animation feature. |

Better angles if play is run to the 1 tech and 5 tech.
A 3 tech may be hard to move...so run away from him!

Hey Guys,
Just to control a bit of the feedback - this is a student's work (his first draft) so obviously there are some logistical issues. I was more throwing it out as an available technology and seeking feedback on that.
We created it in flash, but we import them into powerpoint for game plan presentations to kids.
