I highly doubt that any digital trickery was done. Each and every shot looks doable...just very difficult. I will wager with what was mentioned before...you are seeing the 1 successful shot out of 100 attempts.
And practice practice practice. |

They don't look fake. Some friends of mine did this same type of scene a couple years ago. It's not hard to sink a ball from half court if you've made dozens and dozens of shots. In our short we did just that, every shot was a sinker from half court. This is easier if you are halfway decent at aiming. Their ball MAY be a little smaller too. In some shots you'll notice shadows that coincide with the ball itself. Try not to think of this being shot in 20 minutes, think all day, or over several days.

if you look at the footage closely, the way the ball moves through the air is not normal--look at it when it leaves the hand and midway to the hoop (the motion changes). to me... it looks like some camera matching along with a particle system and some rendering time.
i've done something similar in 3dmax7 a while ago where i shot footages of a friend hitting a baseball over a 20-story building only he was hitting air in the actual footage. I camera-matched it with a digital baseball, a particle system called "spray", and a lot of tweaking time--i.e. gravity, rendering, etc. |

sorry if i misstated what i meant about the particle system... i was using it to create snow so i wasn't using it for the baseball. i left out a little detail... sorry if it confused anyone.

All of those shots could have been done by trial and error, but the ball didn't seem realistic at all on a few of those shots.

I have a buddy who used to run Mad Circle Skateboards (if you know skating you know who he is so I am not a name-dropper) but he said they used to spend hours shooting basketballs in the DC skatepark.
I would bet they just spent a lot of time making the shots. Seems easier to hit the lucky shot than to do a ton of special effects on a budget. |
