Project Overview

Custom Horse Race Party Kit, a unique entertainment resource offering simulated horse racing experiences, approached Austin Visuals to revitalize their offerings with a modern, high-quality 3D animated video. The goal was to create a visually engaging and customizable horse racing experience that met contemporary audience expectations while staying true to their brand identity. The new animations aimed to upgrade their current assets, attract new clients, and maintain their competitive edge in the entertainment market.

The project included creating 12 distinct races, each approximately 2.5 minutes long, with six horses per race. Each horse would win two races, ensuring varied and exciting outcomes. The final video would also feature customizable elements, such as track backgrounds and horse names, to allow clients to tailor the races to their preferences.

The Challenge

Custom Horse Race Party Kit needed to modernize their visual assets to match the sophistication of modern gaming and entertainment standards. Key challenges included:

  1. High Expectations for Realism and Customization: Customers familiar with high-quality visuals in games and digital media expected enhanced graphics and engaging content.
  2. Balancing Cost and Quality: The animation had to be visually impressive while adhering to a competitive budget, offering a return on investment for at least the next decade.
  3. Complexity of Race Variants: Creating 12 unique races with distinct winners, runners-up, and customizable options required precise planning and execution.
  4. Tight Timeline: The project demanded a production schedule of 5-8 weeks for the 3D animation.

    Customized 3D Animation

    Austin Visuals designed a visually engaging 3D animation featuring six uniquely modeled horses and jockeys.

Each race included a realistic introduction sequence where jockeys rode horses to the starting gate, providing excitement before the race began.

    Tailored Variations

    The animation sequences allowed for full customization. Clients could personalize elements such as racetrack names, horse names, and colors, offering a bespoke experience for every event. The races included clear visuals of winning horses, runner-ups, and slow-motion photo finishes to heighten the thrill.

    Efficient Workflow

    A phased production plan was implemented to maintain quality and meet deadlines. The project started with the pre-race sequences, followed by drafts of individual races for client review. This iterative approach ensured alignment with client expectations and allowed for timely adjustments.
