For this Teamfight Tactics: Lore & Legends mini cinematic, Sarah Westerfield Kondeati and I set out to tell a small but epic story: Burno’s attempt to prove himself worthy of Wolf’s notice. The challenge was striking the right balance between mythic intensity surrounding the Noxian afterlife and TFT’s playful personality.

Working closely with Little Zoo Studio within a deliberately tight 30-second format, we focused on telling a fast, punchy story while pushing visual quality as far as possible. The constraint encouraged the team to prioritize bold character moments and clear comedic timing rather than extended narrative beats.
