ASton martin x f1 75th

There’s a story behind every legend. A legacy built not just on speed, but on passion, vision, and an unwavering commitment to excellence.

I was honoured to be approached for this project, taking audiences on a journey through the heritage of Aston Martin Racing—one of the most iconic names in motorsport history.

We combined 2D and 3D animation techniques, even painting frames by hand, because some stories deserve a human touch. We pushed the boundaries to create a look that feels both timeless and cutting-edge.

This project wouldn’t have been possible without an incredible team of talented artists and creators. I feel truly lucky to have worked with them, and I’m grateful for their dedication and passion that brought this vision to life.

The film premiered at the Formula 1 75th Anniversary at the O2 Arena in London, a fitting tribute to a brand that has shaped the very DNA of motorsport.
