VALORANT CHAMPIONS:
YEAR ONE FILM
For the first-ever Valorant World Championship, VALORANT Champions 2021, held from December 1–12, 2021 in Berlin, Germany, we set out to create a film that captured the truly global impact the esport had during its inaugural year. Our goal was to deliver a visually stunning intersection between the real world and the beautiful alien worlds of Brimstone, Sage, and Phoenix, as depicted within the Champions animated music video “Die For You.” We opted to shoot on anamorphic lenses to give the video a truly cinematic sci-fi feeling.
With our access to players limited to our time in Berlin, we carefully curated scenes to represent Los Angeles, Moscow, Rio, and Seoul within the city. We were fortunate enough to travel (via portal) to the beautiful lands of Brimstone, Sage, and Phoenix.
