Deadlock’s story is one of tragedy and rebirth. During a mission gone wrong, she lost everything—her team, her arm, and her very sense of self. She was unmade. But from the wreckage, she rose again, stronger and more determined. Now, with her new purpose and the power of her technology, Deadlock is no longer defined by loss, but by the fierce resolve to never let it happen again. She has been broken, but she is unshakable. The world won’t see her coming.
Representing Lightfarm Studios as the animation and VFX producer for this Riot Games cinematic has been an incredible journey, both challenging and immensely rewarding. Collaborating with the talented team at Riot Games pushed the boundaries of creativity and technology, delivering a cinematic experience that resonated with audiences worldwide.
In my role, I was responsible for overseeing the entire production process, from storyboard to final delivery. I managed timelines, resources, and communication between Lightfarm Studios and Riot Games, ensuring the creative vision was realized while solving any technical challenges that arose.
The complexity of the project required meticulous planning and constant communication to ensure the seamless integration of animation and visual effects, while maintaining the high standards set by both teams. The result was well worth the effort — since its release in 2023, the cinematic has garnered over 3.29 million views and received enthusiastic praise from Riot’s audience. This experience highlighted the talent and dedication of our team and reinforced our ability to rise to any challenge, creating something truly impactful for fans around the world.
