Nike Football — Feed the Phantom

Four films for Nike Football’s Fall 2025 global campaign, built on one idea — that the Phantom boot is alive, and hungry for goals — with Erling Haaland, Alexia Putellas, Rodri and Phil Foden.

What I heldSport

02 Shot design

03 Comp direction

04 Grade supervision

Partnering again with director Shapxo, we developed the look and behaviour of the living boot and executed the CGI and VFX that turn the pitch into a stage for its appetite.
