Buenafuente

Technical approach

Using a high level of humor in every scene, we devised a world of fantasy that allowed us to portray such bizarre guessings on finding Buenafuente: surroundings were stylized both through a minimalist, graphic-ended illustration and by a saturated, fictitious color palette. On the contrary, considering that we were talking about well-known public figures, we needed the characters to be easily recognizable so we put a great effort into doing a realistic and trustworthy depiction of them.

The cel animation technique let us concentrate on the most specific details of the characters and hence it was key to achieve the warm, mundane, reliable liveliness we were looking for them. In order to make the project feasible, our biggest challenge was to find an appropriate balance between the characters’ remarkably developed animation work and the necessary optimization of the backgrounds.
