Lions Tour 2025 brings culture, craft, and cutting-edge CG into a powerful title sequence.
Created by Coffee & TV in collaboration with Sky Creative, the campaign blends Indigenous Australian art with advanced VFX to tell a story of unity and movement. Guided by Indigenous artist Kate Constantine (Konstantina) of the Gadigal people, the lion becomes a living 3D painting, built through Maya and custom Houdini workflows, then layered with handcrafted textures, compositing, and grade.
Traditional storytelling leads the process, with cultural consultation and human artistry at its core, resulting in a visually rich and respectful celebration of sport and identity.
