I was hired by Oskar & Gaspar as the art director for the António Champalimaud Vision Award Ceremony in both 2022 and 2023. My role was to coordinate 3D and 2D artists to create animations for various moments of the ceremony, which were displayed on the LED screens. The challenge was to design the animations in a way that complemented the stage and its LED setup, ensuring the visuals enhanced the ceremony's atmosphere. The event was divided into different segments during the award presentations, and it was crucial that the animations adapted seamlessly to each moment.

For the award deliveries, we focused on using simple, elegant textures that followed the event’s color scheme and theme.

The textures were designed to complement the ceremony without overshadowing the important moments.Musical Moment
For the musical moment, we created a unique storyline for each song, which was specifically composed for the event.

This allowed the animations to bring an added layer of emotion and energy, enhancing the overall experience while staying aligned with the event's message.
