48 teams, 104 games, one film released the moment it ended. Llama Studio brought us in to explore the visual and motion language for The Story of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, a project produced almost in real time as the tournament unfolded. Brazzalle, Sophi and Rafa worked together across directions, tests and refinements, keeping the visuals moving at the same speed as the games.

Direction by Guilherme Ferreirinha and Pedro Kobuti, who kept a clear vision under a schedule that left no room for it to drift. Big shout out to the production team behind the design and motion on the other scenes: @buteikis, @larissagarciamotion, @Scarnno, @Thiago biazzoto campos, @doizenni, @mafe.etc

Below, a selection of highlights and favorite studies from the process.
