Role // Concept Development | AC
For Chicago Fire FC's 2025 intro video, we wanted to show that fire doesn't start with flames, it starts with a spark. That moment ignites and lights up the city, a stadium and a team. We built the spot around two big visual ideas: fires blazing through the streets of Chicago and a surreal mirrored set showing that power comes from within. For the post VFX we dialed it up with thermal effects, fire and spark compositing, octagonal/mirror transitions and firey typography.
