// 01 / CHALLENGE

CG-forward vision.

Nike needed a campaign showcasing the Hyperdunk basketball shoe with a CG-forward visual approach. The goal was to elevate the product beyond traditional photography and create a dynamic, motion-driven campaign that could live across broadcast and digital channels.

The production required a full CG pipeline — from initial concept boards through modeling, texturing, lighting, animation, and final delivery — all within a tight broadcast timeline.

// 02 / CONCEPT

Building the hero.

Full CG shoe hero and environmental builds with dynamic motion design. The concept centered on isolating the Hyperdunk as a sculptural object — dramatic lighting, hyper-real materials, and kinetic camera work that showcased every design detail.

Developed concept boards and styleframes that established the visual language: bold, athletic, and technically precise. Every environmental element was designed to complement the shoe without competing for attention.

// 03 / PROCESS

Full CG pipeline.

Managed the complete CG production pipeline: modeling, texturing, lighting, and animation. Coordinated the 3D team through iterative rounds of asset development, ensuring material accuracy and visual fidelity matched Nike's brand standards.

Oversaw all technical production from scene assembly through final compositing, maintaining quality benchmarks at every stage of the pipeline.
