TASK: Create a promo animation for an existing event. The project focuses on developing a conceptual approach to motion design through research, style frames, and animation execution.


ABOUT THE EVENT:
“The FISM competition, the world’s most prestigious magic contest, often called the “Olympics of Magic.” Every three years, top magicians compete for the title of World Champion of Magic across various categories. The highest honor is the Grand Prix, awarded to the most outstanding magician of the competition, recognizing excellence, originality, and artistic impact.”

(Besides the contest, you will find lectures, workshops, gala shows, magic shops and many other special events.)
