The launch of EuroDreams was more than just a new lottery, it was the first in two decades.
The challenge lay in giving it a fresh visual identity and twice-weekly draw animations that felt exciting, transparent, and uniquely European.

Twice a week, millions would watch a draw. How to keep it engaging, modern, and credible across eight countries and countless platforms, within tight delivery timeline?
We designed official 3D animations that could change at every draw and become its own spectacle with variation of colours, shots angles, localized text, while remaining consistent and never boring. Implemented into a custom Unity-powered software, unique draw videos were generated under five minutes, twice a week.

My scope of work: structure production workflow across 3D design, animation, and custom Unreal software development. Coordinate delivery requirements across 8 broadcast markets, manage stakeholders on both the FDJ side and the technical production team throughout the 5-month project.
