A personal study recreating Studio Moross’s visual system for the MTV EMA 2020, focusing on the Best Hip-Hop category animation, to learn directly from leading broadcast design.

Idea: Learn by close observation. I broke down how circular motion, kinetic type and pop-up callouts create rhythm and impact, then rebuilt the sequence frame by frame.

Process: Recreated in After Effects, with close attention to timing, easing and typographic energy. A second version applies the system to a logo from my MA group project.

Outcome: A stronger After Effects workflow, and a clearer understanding of how fast, high-energy broadcast motion still communicates clearly.

Role: Animation (recreation) · Tools: After Effects · Year: 2025 · Type: Study. Original design by Studio Moross for MTV EMA 2020.
