graphics templates?
not really an FCP question, but i need to design a simple scoreboard graphic for a sports show and wondered if you guys know of a place/site that might show some good ideas for something like that? i went into Motion to see what was there, but really just need a decent idea for a background box, then i’ll slap some simple graphics and a couple logos on top of that. the scoreboard doesn’t even need to move or be animated in any way, just readable.
thanks for helping out a bonehead!

Don’t know any sites, but what’s the sport? You could pick some key objects from the game (say for example the ball) and use those to created a blurred and animated background in Motion – try the replicator for some nice effects. Just a little relevence to what you’re covering gives a nice impression in a game, so just keep the objects very subtle (low opacity and blurred) and you could make a nice, animated ‘strap’/’background box’ that you could just layer text onto in FCP. Hey – don’t even use motion if you don’t like it – animate in FCP then crop and resize to your box.
A few simple 2d cutouts of a ball/pitch markings/flags/trophys should do it, with some nice random shapes to break it up.
Sounds like fun! What’s the sport? We’re just making up gfx for the Ryder Cup, but we have to use the broadcaster’s house style! Boring….

Digital Juice has a “sports” editor’s tool kit. I don’t know what’s in it but it may be something to check out.
