Eurovision Song Contest Live

Even a chisel-jawed alpha tough guy like me would find it difficult not to get excited when the ol' charmers at PALS asked me to animate some graphics for world famous super-brand Eurovision.

After I stopped excitedly squealing down the phone (gruff and manly squealing, mind you) I got to work animating brand assets, including the glitterball heart that was central to their logo lock-up.

It took some grade-A noodling in Blender's geometry nodes to get a heart shaped disco ball to spin without losing its silhouette but we soon had it glittering like Bjorn's sparkliest ABBA jumpsuit!
