Digitally remove every player from a taped game of
soccer
or football, leaving only the ball behind. Add
appropriate music. The ball will
seem to jump and dance of it's own free will, performing
a
bizzare ballet to the rapture of the adoring crowd. And
when the ball finally plunges itself
in the net at the crescendo, the crowd go wild with
appreciation.
What this one?,

This should be done live, with a robot ball. |
|
| |
No need for robots, this is hamster work. |
|
| |
Or you could make just one player invisible, for an occasional surprise. |
|
| |
A lot of work, but well worth it I reckon. I suspect it would be easier to just track the ball position and then render a cgi ball onto an empty pitch, with appropriate camera moves. |
|
| |
Or move the ball 2 metres to the left, reverse the path of the ball completely, or superimpose one game's ball on another game's players, on a third game's crowd. Utterly ridiculous [+] |

See if you can merge ideas with.

This would be perfect!!! |

From the title, I knew this would be about soccer. |
|

Coming soon to a music video near you [+] |

I think it would be funnier to digitally remove the
ball. + |
|
| |
With different coloured balls you could save time by watching several games at once. |
|
| |
Maybe just leave the goalkeepers, making them look foolish as they concede against nothing. |
|
| |
Newspapers could run "Spot the player" competitions. |
|
| |
No, just leave the referee. |
|
| |
Laugh as he brandishes red cards. |
|
| |
This doesn't have to be just about soccer, virtually
any ball game could be used. |
|
| |
+ good 'un!
tennis would be boring...worse yet, ping-pong! |
|

//virtually any ball game could be used.//
No, I think this is actually interesting as a way of classifying
ball games: with some, it would be amusing, with others,
not. The excitement of bowling is unchanged, under this
transformation; how about golf, or billiards? |
|
| |
I think that this would be fun for american football. Just remove the defense and watch the offense spaz out for no apparent reason. |
|
| |
Some of the appeal of beach volleyball would be lost. |
|
| |
Ice Hockey too would lose at least half the fun, basketball would be OK though. |
