In 2021, Global Poker launched its first-ever Turbo tournament series, built around the theme of speed and high intensity. The goal of the promotional video was to capture this fast-paced atmosphere and visually connect the excitement of poker with the adrenaline of racing. To bridge the two worlds, I drew parallels between poker chips and car wheels, establishing a racecar-inspired visual direction that gave the tournament a distinctive identity.
This concept came to life through motion design techniques in After Effects. Exhaust flames were used as dynamic transitions between scenes, while a subtle asphalt texture added depth to the background without overwhelming the main visuals. Together, these elements created a high-energy piece that communicated the urgency and thrill of the Turbo series, successfully setting it apart from Global Poker’s other campaigns.
