World Expo 2020 launch
Burj Khalifa
An epic launch for a world event
Overview

As part of the opening ceremony to the World Expo 2020, Emaar asked us to create two 90 second animations to play on the world biggest LED screen - the whole face of the Burj Khalifa. The animations would accompany a huge firework display and would be streamed live to events happening all over the UAE.

The process

The project took 4 weeks from initial brief to the live event (the tight timeframe due to the the original supplier pulling out last minute). During that time I was responsible for detailed storyboarding of the sequences, art directing the overall design, pulling together a team of three 3D animators, presenting to the client and the final delivery. Animators included Stuart Sinclair, Lukas Kuhn and Enric Rodriguez.
