NOCHE UFC: IN THE BEGINNING UFC 306

Was brought in early on in pre-production to create some concepts for the Chapter One sequence of Noche UFC 306. Thank you to Joe Sill and Brian Tang for bringing me onto this project.

Directed by Joe Sill and Brian Tang, Studio: Impossible Objects

Three decades since the world first witnessed a new era of combat, we gather where echoes of warriors past resonate through time, honouring Mexico’s enduring legacy. This all-CG intergalactic sequence merges iconic figures of Mexican independence with legendary UFC fighters. Statues formed from celestial dust rise in a surreal landscape, featuring Aztec soldiers alongside UFC greats, celebrating the shared heritage of warriors.
