På Hjul med Dag Otto


Title sequence & on-screen graphics for popular TV Norge program

i. Project Background
        Who doesn’t love bikes? So getting to model, rig, and animate them for days on end? Absolute joy. I created the titles and graphic package for På Hjul med Dag Otto, a travel-meets-cycling series that follows legendary Norwegian cyclist Dag Otto Lauritzen and his co-pilot Kristian Ødegård as they pedal their way across the globe.

 ii. Process & Result
        The challenge was to distill that big, globe-trotting energy into a tight, 25-second sequence. We leaned into a playful visual style, combining clean design with fun transitions, and of course: lovingly detailed bikes.

        From mountain passes to tropical detours, it’s a world tour in fast-forward — with plenty of charm and a bit of cardio.
