Valorant Champions Tour 2023


Valorant is a Tactical Hero Shooter played by millions of fans around the world. In 2022 Riot Games approached GrandArmy looking for a fresh look for their upcoming Valorant Champions Tour. 

I was fortunate enough to lead our team’s motion approach; to develop the motion language for the broadcast package, as well as build the After Effects toolkit. 

This broadcast toolkit was built using Adobe After Effects’ robust Essential Properties system, which allowed us to build dynamic and flexible animations that can be redesigned and rearranged easily and instantly. It’s all expression based and keyframe-able, and includes customizable countdown timers and responsive text boxes.
