NIKE MERCURIAL SUPERFLY

A super-powered metaphor aligning the acceleration of Ronaldo & Formula 1.

Working on the launch of the Superfly V, I worked as a CGI artist and provided art direction to visualize a high-octane metaphor: the intersection of Cristiano Ronaldo’s acceleration and Formula 1 engineering.

I was responsible for the integration of the F1 car and the main Nike boot, starting from a 3D scan of an early prototype. Been challanged during the exploded-view sequences, where I directed the timing and lighting of the engine components as they elegantly reconstructed into the Mercurial speed system. My work centered on creating a premium "lighting/speed experience" that showcased the boot’s innovative components through high-end look development and technical modeling.

Key contributions
