CHARLES LECLERC:
TIMELESS
“There are two religions in Italy: there’s the catholic church and there’s ferrari”
PROJECT TYPE: Social-first promo
MY ROLE: 3D modeling, video editing
SOFTWARE: After Effects, Blender
A blend of Scuderia Ferrari symbolism and Charles Leclerc’s unique identity as their beloved il predestinato.
Featuring luxury watches, the prancing horse, and a healthy amount of rosso corsa.
SHOT BREAKDOWN #1: THE WATCH
What if Charles had partnered with Rolex instead of Richard Mille for his custom watch?
Turned to Blender to design, model, animate (and then “destroy”) the first and only Charles Leclerc Rolex.

To the right is a comparison of the wireframe, solid geometry, and then fully shaded render in the final composition of the shot.
SHOT BREAKDOWN #2: THE book
Painting a narrative that aligns with the canon with another hypothetical: Charles Leclerc’s notebook, with contents ranging from childhood doodles to technical SF-25 sketches.
The page designs are visible in the background as well, alongside the signature ferrari-red horse in a holographic style.
HOLOgrams in after effects
Quick overview of some of the effects used during the compositing process to create the holographic horse, starting with stock footage with a keyed out background.

Playing with predestination and timelessness by using shape layers to build a “constellation” of the SF25, animated in a 3D galaxy environment.
