To capture the physicality and athleticism of volleyball players, animators often study real-life footage of volleyball matches to understand the movement, agility, and coordination involved. They pay close attention to details such as players' body mechanics, gestures, and the way they interact with the ball and their teammates. Animators also consult with athletes or sports experts to gain insight into the nuances of volleyball playing, ensuring that the animated characters move realistically and convincingly on screen. Additionally, motion capture technology may be used to record and replicate the movements of athletes performing volleyball-specific actions, adding a layer of authenticity to the animation.
