LA28 Handover Celebration

The LA28 handover celebration took place on August 11, 2024, during the finale of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games Closing Ceremony. Tom Cruise lands on LA and the show starts on the beach with Billie Eilish, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Snoop Dogg.

The performance was recorded in secrecy just hours before the end of the Paris ceremony. During an intense crunch, we delivered invisible and beauty visual effects for around a dozen shots in record time. I coordinated artists remotely across seven time zones, transferred 500 GB of data within a few hours, and supported a team of 18 visual-effects artists who had only 90 minutes to complete the work.

It was an honor to be part of this.
