Intelligent Production Optimization & Workflow Enhancement

Automating Video Workflows in Trailer Production for TV Channel


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.

![assets/flag.png]

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.

```javascript
-thisComp.layer("EU FLAG ROTATION").transform.rotation
```

![assets/EU_wahl.webp|assets/EU_wahl.webp]

## The trailer also includes:

- the packshot
- 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

[video](assets/Eu Wahl Loop.mp4|assets/flag.png)

The result? A motion-driven trailer full of structure, rhythm and European energy – and yes, it got nominated for the **2024 Eyes & Ears Award**.

# Show Design for History Documentary Series

Designing for a history format that feels fast, fresh and not like a museum tour? Yes, please. When the production company asked me to take on the show’s visual identity, I knew this would be something fun to dig into.

![assets/Zeitreise Logo.avif|assets/Zeitreise_1.avif]
![assets/Zeitreise_2.avif|assets/Zeitreise_3.avif]

The first idea came from the reference book and "Der Bader-Meinhof-Komplex", paired with those gritty 90s Spiegel TV graphics. Rough textures, Helvetica, punchy cuts – that raw, documentary feel was the core vibe I wanted to channel.

The color palette leans into black and white images and warm rust tones – like old film footage that’s been sitting on a shelf a little too long. There’s nostalgia, but also a sharp digital clarity that keeps it grounded in the now.

![assets/Zeitreise_4.avif|assets/Zeitreise_5.avif]

For the typeface, I chose **Berthold Block** – bold, boxy, full of character. It screams “headline” in the best way. And whether it’s in the opener, lower thirds, or on the site, it holds its ground.
