"The theme of the Audi Award ceremony in November 2016 was “Ausblicke” (“Views”). Fittingly, award winners and guests at Ibiza’s Lio Club enjoyed a stunning 20 x 3 m view of the “Dalt Vila”, the city’s historic old town. The media installation “Light Strings” was the background for the stage, providing a transparent projection screen that allowed for an impressive view. The net, made of 18 km of nylon cord, 740 strings and 10 layers, showcased teaser films, award categories and animated type sequences during the event." Blackspace

Inspired by the event venue (Gran Teatre del Liceu, Barcelona), the short films, animated sequences and trailers shown at the Audi Awards were transformed into “stage images” that create special scenery for each category. 

Each of the 12 categories at the Audi Awards tells a story about its specific background and criteria for evaluation, and is introduced with a approx. 40-second long trailer. Illustrative stage images in black and gold reflect the look of the Audi Award – creating a two-dimensional look with a three-dimensional impact.

Styleframes I made for Toyota Mexico's "Waku Doki" campaign to define the look of the light city. You can see the final commercial here.
"Following the philosophy of Waku Doki, the japanese term for "the pleasant anticipation and adrenalin rush", Toyota's new car RAV4 crossover USV is all about excitement and amazement with its intelligent technology and vibrant car design." (velvet)

On Air Redesign for the Greek TV station MEGA TV.
The promo package includes idents, lower thirds, corner bugs, presenters, sponsoring frames, time table boards — all based on the idea of a magic TV frame.

After we defined the new 'corporate motion' for the Station ID, which feels directional, graphical and modern, I started to develop the look and animation of the colorful particles. We wanted them to flow with behavior of the promo elements and also to float from the 2D painted frames of the life-action into a 3D space. In the next steps I animated sub brand logos and the other graphical and typographic elements.
"Mega becomes a public stage, a TV frame which is projected into the space. The 2-dimensional perception becomes a real life experience. We wanted to send out an impulse of Mega being there and displaying the positive spirit in the environment." —Velvet Mediendesign

Trailer & Intro Animation for the German TV Crime Comedy Series. It was a great fun to develop the inky and painty Look and bring all the elements to a nice little story. This trailer was a prototype and it was adopted for a bunch of TV Series as "Hubert und Staller" and "Nordisch Herb".
