Launched in 2016 by animator/CDs Martin Dasnoy and Dalmiro Buigues, Buenos Aires studio Buda.tv celebrates eight years with an anthem film stating the creative importance of anatomical intelligence in the age of artificial intelligence.
Ignacio Godoy, EP at Buda: “We wanted to celebrate our journey as a studio with a visual feast full of colors and different aesthetics, while also highlighting a fundamental aspect of Buda: human creativity.
“The film reinforces the anatomical intelligence inherent in human beings represented in the case of Buda.tv where our motto is to use the tools we have at our disposal. AI is a new complement that will be key and increasingly incorporated. We must think of AI as a tool and not as something that solves everything.
“We wanted to celebrate our journey as a studio with a visual feast full of colors and different aesthetics, while also highlighting a fundamental aspect of Buda: human creativity.”
“We are a creative studio that generates concepts which are then developed based on our own emotions and experiences which are reflected in the result, regardless of the tools and styles we use. This is what always prevails and is the guiding thread of our style, which we will maintain beyond changes or evolution in production tools.
“Regarding production, it was a journey of approximately four months between commercial projects. The first and most important step was to outline a base animatic that brought together all the scenes and the concept art. Then, we divided the assets into production needs, from the largest to the smallest details, so that in each spare moment we could refine the shots with different passes, whether 2D or 3D.”
