UK-based design agency Jump has been commissioned by Eurovision Sport and the International Biathlon Union to produce a new onscreen design package for the 2019/20 biathlon season.

Jump, the official graphics supplier to the Sport Industry Awards, has worked with character animation specialist Nick Savy, who hand-animated bespoke movement to achieve the specific Biathlon style of skiing which will feature in the package.

Created primarily in Cinema 4D, the graphics will be seen across 20+ channels in Scandinavia, Eastern Europe, Germany (on ARD/ZDF) and in France (L’Equipe).

Russell Hilliard, Company Director at Jump, said: “We were inspired by the existing titles music, which is very filmic, as well as the nature of the sport combining skiing and shooting, to look at action movie opening sequences.

“We developed a style based on 3D models rendered with flat shading and a story board which flowed from scene to scene in surprising ways.”
