Richard Swarbrick : Wayne Rooney A Piece Of Art

With me being heavily involved with football and art, when i saw this advert created by Richard Swarbrick. This is personally one of the best adverts i have seen in a long time. Not only does it capture a moment of excellence but also it demonstrates art that has been brought to life. The way in which he has captured the movement of not only Wayne Rooney but also all of the other players. 
Richard Swarbrick, 33 year old male who had previously hand drawn an animation of Gareth Bales goal only four months before he was asked to work for 'The Sun'. This initial video had attracted the attention of 100,000 people in three days. since then he has made numerous works of art similar to this including, coverage of Gareth Bale against Inter Milan, Cesc Fabregas against tottenham and another favourite of mine is the the coverage of El Classico. 
Below is a link to the sun website where you can see a short video which consists of more footage of the ad and also shows Richard Swarbrick constructing it and talking you through the stages he had to go through to achieve the effects necessary.
