Part of the global campaign marking Pelé's 80th birthday, commissioned by Psyonix, part of the Epic Games family, to bring the GOAT of football into the world of Rocket League. Produced entirely remotely during the COVID-19 lockdown in late 2020, with a distributed post-production team of 10 coordinating across time zones under tight deadlines.

One hero film, delivered alongside a significant volume of versioned assets. Rights clearances across multiple parties forced several full restarts, but each obstacle pushed the creative further. Sourcing vintage archive material ended up defining the film's visual language: a deliberate contrast between the grainy, analogue world of football history and the vibrant, physics-defying world of Rocket League.

Executive Producer, Creative Producer, Post Producer: co-direction, in-game footage capture.
