Produced by Nexus Studios and Antigravity Academy, "For Mexico, For All Time," is an experience that was brought to life across the Sphere's vast 160,000-square-foot, 16K x 16K digital canvas. Here, a series of six films that served as a storytelling framework for the main event at UFC Noche, celebrating Mexican Independence Day. Fusing live sports with cinematic storytelling transformed the event into a multi-sensory spectacle for fans to engage with on a deeper emotional level. To achieve this, the production team brought together a multidisciplinary team of artists, designers, animators, and technical directors. The team used a variety of techniques, including CGI, hand-drawn animation, procedural simulations, and live-action. An in-house custom VR workflow was developed with a replica of the venue to optimise each film for the Sphere's grand 16K screen. This proprietary tool allowed creators to “stand” inside the space and iterate on every visual and physical element, ensuring it was precisely calibrated for the venue's unique viewing conditions Celebrating Mexico’s rich history, culture, and future, this series of six films, led by Oscar-nominated director Carlos López Estrada, was produced by Antigravity Academy and Nexus Studios. Premiering alongside the highly anticipated UFC 306 at Riyadh Season Noche UFC, the films featured narration by Gael García Bernal (Y tu Mamá También, The Motorcycle Diaries), sound design and immersive mix by Q Department and a score by Germaine Franco (Encanto, Coco), with direction by world-class filmmakers who pushed the boundaries of visual storytelling.
