Europe in Motion – My Trailer for the 2024 EU Election
September 5, 2024
For the 2024 EU elections, I created a motion design trailer that brings Europe’s identity to life. With rotating stars, animated graphics and bold colors, the project was even nominated for a 2024 Eyes & Ears Award.
For the 2024 EU election campaign, I created a trailer that frames Europe as a vibrant, forward-looking idea. The color palette is rooted in the EU flag: a deep blue with a turquoise twist and that unmistakable golden yellow.
One standout detail: the twelve stars. They rotate in opposition to the overall scene while staying perfectly horizontal within the viewport. It’s a subtle effect powered by After Effects expressions – but visually, it makes all the difference.

The trailer also includes:
• the packshot you see above
• an animated bar chart showing political stats
• visuals of EU buildings in Brussels
• a ticker of European cities, countries and flags
• stylish split screens for pace and variety
• a cinematic color grade to tie it all together
The result? A motion-driven trailer full of structure, rhythm and European energy – and yes, it got nominated for the 2024 Eyes & Ears Award.
