Miagui Set a New Pace With Olympikus Launch Film

In a welcome contrast to the pure flash of the CG sneaker wars, the motion team at Brazilian studio Miaguia assemble an insightful launch film exploring the tech and build process behind the Olympikus Corre Pace running shoe.

Cássio Braga and Renan Kamizi, directors at Miagui: “The new Corre Pace is Olympikus’ highest-performance running shoe. And while product films always demand precision and control, we pushed that by putting AI in service of direction.
 

“The result is a flow of dynamic camera movements, blending performance-driven scenes with moments of pure product desire.”

 
“Combining Miagui’s craft with the direction of our live-action studio Sublime, we built a workflow where every choice, from camera to movement and from lighting to material, was deliberate and controlled.

“The result is a flow of dynamic camera movements, blending performance-driven scenes with moments of pure product desire. It’s the same technology behind the shoe, meeting our technology in production.”
