Puma “F1”
The Sphere
PUMA commissioned director Shane “Grif” Griffin and Nexus Studios to concept and execute this wild ride to celebrate their F1 partnership, and what better place to do it than on the Sphere for the Las Vegas Grand Prix!
Working with an uber talented team, I was brought in to work across all facets of design and animation on a really exciting brief, that involved an animated puma, F1 racing cars, smoke sims and a gigantic Sphere in the middle of Las Vegas.
Please also check out the Behance project. The project was also recognised as part of Behance’s “Best of 2024”
