PROJECT OVERVIEW
MARC ANTHONY || MIAMI 2026 FIFA WORLD CUP
ABOUT THIS PROJECT
Sky Candy Studios partnered with the Miami Host-City Committee to produce a stirring ambassador film featuring Marc Anthony, celebrating why Miami was selected as a FIFA World Cup 2026 host city. Blending authentic cultural reflection with cinematic visual storytelling, the film pairs sweeping drone sequences over ocean-lined avenues and skyline vistas with intimate ground-level scenes that bring Miami’s heart and soul to life.
Marc opens with a simple line – “My name is Marc Anthony, and this is Miami” – drawing a connection between music and fútbol, between rhythm and ritual, with a tone that is both celebratory and grounded.

The camera establishes Miami as a global stage – neighborhoods alive with rhythm, street life framed by neon and ocean light, and an iconic skyline that signals worldwide reach. Aerial shots glide the coastline, lift above stadiums, and sweep across fan gatherings, while ground-level sequences invite viewers into the in-between moments: a melody from a corner café, kids over a quick street-soccer match, a guitar riff folding into “¡Somos 26!”
More than promotion, the film plays as a statement of identity: Miami isn’t just ready to host – it’s alive with the reason to host.
Our drone teams designed flight lines that play with altitude, parallax, and pace – bringing viewers from ocean surface to skyline crown in a single breath, then tucking into tighter passes that read signage, murals, and crowd energy. Interior and street-level scenes were captured with controlled, naturalistic camera work – skin-tone fidelity, balanced ambient color, and close focus that favors human connection over spectacle.
Shooting across Miami required coordinated planning around neighborhoods, the coastline, and stadium proximity. Urban aerials were planned with permits, staging, and clear sightlines; stadium-adjacent sequences were coordinated with event stakeholders. Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Miami’s designated 2026 venue, anchored the project’s host-city scope.
Our pilots hold FAA Part 107 certification and follow written checklists and site-specific risk reviews. Coastal and urban flight lines required confirmed airspace, coordination with local property and event teams, and visual observers on every flight. Setups included FPV for energy, cinema platforms for stable hero moments, and gimbals for ground coverage.
More than promotion, the film plays as a statement of identity: Miami isn’t just ready to host – it’s alive with the reason to host. Marc Anthony’s voiceover ties the city’s Latino heritage, global population, and love of the game into a single heartbeat: sport as music, music as sport. The cut is built for social, broadcast, and event use across the FIFA campaign.
