Straight off the bat, we knew we had something exciting on our hands. So we built a story around what every batter already knows in their bones: the perfect shot feels like a rush, but there is so much more happening in that split second than the eye can catch. That’s where Str8bat comes in. We shot KL Rahul live on set to keep the film grounded in real cricketing swagger and precision, then built the rest of the world around him using Gen AI, including the futuristic backgrounds, the additional players, and the competitive ecosystem around the challenge. That mix of real performance and AI-built scale let us push the storytelling far beyond a standard brand film. A fun one to build. A fun one to shape. And one that came together with the right mix of sport, storytelling, and a little future-facing chaos.
