Retro sfera '25 promo

 

🎥  Another year, another blast of pixel-powered creativity!

RetroSfera — one of Poland’s largest retro gaming festivals — is back, and once again I’ve had the pleasure of contributing to its vibrant visual identity.

 

For this year’s edition (September 5–7, 2025), I crafted a dual-content campaign:

Motion Design Meets Nostalgia

🕹 Analog Motion Design Intro

 

Completely hand-animated in After Effects without the use of AI — just keyframes, color, and a lot of love for 80s/90s aesthetics. This video sets the tone for the event and was designed to capture the nostalgia of classic gaming while delivering a sharp, modern look.

 

🤖 AI-Driven Shorts for Social Media

 

Using AI tools like Veo and Krea, I produced a playful series of stylized social teasers — mini-vignettes featuring “familiar-but-different” game-inspired characters in everyday scenes. Think: pancakes, beaches, dance classes, laundromats… all served with a wink to retro pop culture, while respecting likeness boundaries.

 

These short animations were optimized for Instagram Reels and Stories — quick, catchy, and visually rich. Together, they serve as community-building content and countdown drops leading up to the festival.
