Centre Forward is my first animated short film, created almost a year ago during my second semester at IDC. We were given the challenge of making a 30-second short, and I chose football because for me, the game is more than just a sport.
I wanted to capture the mindset of an athlete in high-pressure situations those moments when everything feels like it’s falling apart, but you still have to believe in yourself and push through.
This was also my first dive into 3D animation. Learning Blender felt intimidating at first, but through this project, I built a strong foundation. I aimed for a realistic style, but given the time constraints, I focused on what was practically achievable.
Would love to hear your thoughts constructive feedback is always welcome!
