Final Contact —
VCT Paris Cine
MA partnered with Riot Games to create FINAL CONTACT, the prologue cinematic for the VALORANT VCT Championship in Paris. MA led on story, 3D modeling and animation, 2D animation, cel FX, and editing, delivering a lore-rich cinematic praised for its artistic details and nuanced emotional performances. Centered on Phoenix’s personal stakes—his drive to protect Paris and be there for his sister Mary—the film deepens the VALORANT universe while setting the emotional tone for the championship and teasing the arrival of the game’s newest agent.
