ART OF GREATNESS: LAKIA x BRYCE KOH
In this series, we took the 2021 VALORANT Champions tagline of “The Art of Greatness” into a literal space. We were challenged to create a series of short films that highlighted the creativity of some of the world’s best VALORANT players and then align them with a fine artist who creates a work inspired by the player. For this episode, we paired Vision Strikers’ Lakia with anime illustrator Bryce Kho.
The goal was to explore the parallels between in-game mastery and artistic expression, showcasing how intuitive gameplay can mirror the instinctive choices of a visual artist. Set against stylized, cinematic backdrops, each piece aimed to elevate the esports athlete into the realm of myth and muse.
Our team developed this series, casted the Valorant pros and artists and completed all production & post. Additionally, with the artists, pros, and Riot stakeholders internationally spread out and with COVID being considered, we implemented a full remote video-village solution for all shoot-dates.
