The date was February 12, 2011. Up stepped Wayne Rooney in an important game against rivals Manchester City to score a sensational bicycle kick to win all three points.
Now, months later, talented artist Richard Swarbrick has recreated the moment in the game with an incredible animation (see above video).
It’s the same artist who created the animation of Gareth Bale’s goal against Inter Milan.

His other videos normally have one frame created by ‘Isabelle’ (presumably his daughter)…didn’t see that in this one, maybe because it was used in an advert.

It is certainly NOT a video filter. I have seen a few pieces of Swarbrick’s work and it is all painstakingly rendered by hand.

It’s not animation – it’s called a video filter. Where have you been the past 10 years?

Phenoum, it’s all hand drawn by the artist. See http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/features/3721391/Meet-Richard-Swarbrick-the-genius-behind-The-Suns-Wayne-Rooney-ad.html?OTC-RSS&ATTR=Features for more insight.

I still love the reaction from the bench, especially Ando’s.
