Nowadays you can say with little chance of being wrong that 100% of audiovisual productions, both in film and on streaming platforms, require the use of VFX or digital postproduction to a greater or lesser extent. Some productions only require relatively simple 2D compositing, clean ups, or minor touch ups. But other films or series have more complex VFX needs, such as destruction, fluid simulation, 3D monsters, digital animals, or the creation of 90,000 digital people to fill the stands of a football stadium. These types of challenges are the ones that Onirikal is facing more and more frequently, and this is what motivates the studio's creative team, while at the same time helping to define the company's differentiating character within the Spanish panorama.
The presentation will show some examples of this type of 3D assets created in the studio, as well as explaining some technical issues, about software, approach, and creative details about the way (sometimes peculiar, unexpected and original) to deal with this type of work within Onirikal Studio.
