/ OVERVIEW

We're thrilled to share our latest music video for Riot Games' League of Legends. At its heart, this film is all about connection, whether it’s families coming together, an ancient culture reconnecting, or two worlds colliding. The collaboration between us and the incredible team at Riot, along with the talented musicians, made this project a true labour of love.

/ MYTHS

Creating the mythical sequences for this trailer was one of our biggest challenges, but also one of the most rewarding. We aimed to capture the timeless feel of Japanese woodblock prints while making the visuals stand out from the rest of the film. It took a lot of R&D, but we’re so proud of how it turned out! In sequences featuring characters like Ashe and Lux, we leaned further into this duality. Ashe’s scenes through mythic Ionia were designed to feel like stepping into a living storybook -fluid, vibrant, and filled with motion. Lux’s sequence, centered around the motif of light, used heavily textured animation, visually representing her connection to the spirit world and the tension within it.

/ LEGENDS

In Ionia, myths are tucked into every corner of the landscape. We wanted the natural beauty to do more than just set the scene; we wanted it to open doors to something older, stranger, and more magical.
