Copenhagen Cowboy is a 2023 Netflix series directed by Nicolas Winding Refn.
In a collaboration between NETFLIX and BLAST (professional esports company) a competition took place on Instagram and Twitter in the weeks leading up to the series premiere.
The competition ran for four weeks. Each week had a new riddle along with a "countdown" animation featuring the glass dragon window, which is a central visual element from the series (see below).

I created these graphics in Adobe After Effects, using some elements that were done in Cinema 4D.
