SÖNGVAKEPPNIN
Söngvakeppnin, or "The Song Contest," stands as an annual musical extravaganza orchestrated by The Icelandic National Broadcasting Service (RÚV). Serving as the gateway to the Eurovision Song Contest, it holds a paramount position among the network's flagship events each year. With its multi-artist format, featuring 10 competing songs, Söngvakeppnin epitomizes Iceland's vibrant music scene. The competition unfolds across two riveting semi-finals preceding and grand final, captivating audiences with its diverse array of musical talent.
In the creative realm, Autodesk Maya served as the cornerstone of my project. While the models were bought from Turbosquid, the logo, designed by Sævar Jóhannesson and modeled by myself, brought a unique identity to the production. Rendering the scene in Arnold, with the assistance of Zync, Google Cloud Rendering. It was then brought into After Effects for composition.

I also did the graphic for the LED screens on the stage for certain songs over the past few years. Here is one from 2018 when Robin Bengtsson came as a guest star to sing at Söngvakeppnin. He was the representative for Sweden in Eurovision Song Contest 2017. He ended up in 5th place with this song, "I Can't Go On."
