Once a fan, always a fan
Betclic
2024
Format
16mm + digital + animation
Description
80 actors. Two stadiums. One day.
A campaign launching Betclic’s unprecedented title sponsorship of Poland’s top three football leagues — redefining the scale and visibility of football sponsorship in the country.
Instead of polished, generic fan portrayals, the idea was to capture something real. A full spectrum of supporters: ultras and casual fans, young and old, across leagues, stadiums, and conditions. Shot in a single, intense day, the project embraces imperfection, energy, and documentary truth.
The visual language builds on a collage-driven approach — blending live-action with cut-out characters, printed textures, stills, and animation. A mix of formats that mirrors the fragmented, emotional experience of being a fan.
The result scaled across TV, cinema, outdoor, and digital — bringing an intimate, human perspective to a nationwide campaign.
Directed, shot, and animated by me.
