Hello! This is my submission for Contra's #rivebroadcastchallenge : an eSports Charity Event type graphics package for live streaming for game like League of Legends and Valorant.
The package includes:
- Player portraits that can be updated according to each players picture.
- Team Icons that can be updated according to each team.
- A scoreboard where the team’s icon and name can be updated live, and the score is updated in real time with subtle animation triggers for each scored point.
- A live player leaderboard that uses a script to update in real time based on kills or points, that can be expanded/collapsed for more detailed information.
- Important game kill pop ups like ‘First Blood’ and consecutive kills from 'Double Kill’, all the way to ‘Penta Kill’, each showcasing the portrait of the player who died and the one that got the kill.
- Post match stat comparison based on two players, showcasing their picture, stats, and who holds the crown for each stat.
- An MVP showcase banner showing the top player's stats for the match and their picture.
- Donation alerts showing the donators username and amount donated with varying icons based on the donated amount.
- A live donations’ progress bar that uses a script to update the donation progress in real time, with animation triggers for every milestone.
One of the new Rive features I was able to implement was databinding a keyframe. I used it to animate the donations’ progress bar in and out animations, it gave me the ability to set an out keyframe into a keyframe that was bound to the data of the percentage that was already received, data that is updated in real time.
I learned a ton in the process and had a great time creating this from the rough sketches to linking up state machine triggers to viewmodels and all the databinding process.
Here's a link to preview it inside of Rive: https://editor.rive.app/file/broadcast-challenge/2449294?linkId=eTXuQh835k2iBjB-T2GcEA.
Hope you enjoy!

Reimagining Blitzball as a Modern Sports Broadcast
I’m Wayne Porter, creative designer and owner of Porter Design and Motion. For the Rive Broadcast Challenge, I wanted to combine several interests into one project: motion design, sports broadcasting, interactive systems, and Final Fantasy X.
Inspired by studios such as Drive Studio and Territory Studio, along with designers Jacob LaPlante and Justin Peterson, I reimagined Blitzball as a modern broadcast experience for the fictional Spira Sports Network.
Blitzball is an intense underwater sport that combines elements of water polo and soccer. My goal was to create a broadcast package that felt energetic and futuristic, while remaining clear, readable, and functional.
The project began with the network identity and main scoreboard. From there, I developed a connected system that included:
A primary scoreboard
A compact gameplay score bug
A player statistics graphic
Three lower-third variations
A full-screen matchup takeover
Consistency was important throughout the package. Each element shares the same visual and motion language, allowing the graphics to feel like part of one complete broadcast system.
Rive’s state machines, view models, and data binding allowed me to create reusable layouts, player-specific information, animated score updates, and multiple graphic variations without treating every screen as a separate animation.
This project pushed me to think beyond individual motion pieces and focus on the entire delivery as a functional product. It was a fun opportunity to explore how design, animation, and interactive logic can work together to create a believable sports broadcast experience.
Thanks for taking the time to view my submission, and good luck to everyone who participated in the Rive Broadcast Challenge.
great work!! can you also share your rive project link to be considered for the prize?
