Red Karavan have just returned from Bulgaria's capital Sofia, having created all the branded animation & graphics for both broadcast VT's & LED stage content for Junior Eurovision 2015.

 

The show was broadcast live to the 17 participating countries including Australia, with an estimated audience figure of 10 million.

 

Andy Taplin (Head of 3D & Design) spent 4 weeks creating all the animations, including 9 days working on site at the Arena Armeec in Sofia, where the show was hosted.

 

Andy Taplin comments:

 

"A huge volume of work was required to deliver all the content for this massive show. To create all the branded animations & graphics for live broadcast, including the VFX for the VT's & scoreboard content, in such a short space of time was a big challenge.

 

Pre-planning the workflow was essential to guarantee delivering the content on time, because as we all know a project deadline for a live show cannot move!

 

It was a great experience working with some very talented people!"
