We are thrilled to present you the developing project we are working on: Cándida Foresta. Sounds good, right?

We were very lucky to be selected by Ibermedia Next to make this a reality and it is a pleasure to be giving life to these illustrations created by Perilla. But Cándida Foresta is just the first step towards an animated series that we are eager to develop in the future. You know… It’s good to dream as big as you can.

Clase Azul tastes like gold… or so they say! We didn’t have the pleasure to test it yet but we had the chance to work on the new ad for its 25th anniversary! It was a lot of fun to be part of this adventure. So, we toast to your health and wish you 25 more years, Clase Azul!

Valentina dreams of being a trapeze artist, but she thinks she will never be able to do it because she has Down syndrome. Her Grandmother —who teaches her to play chess and a lot of songs— always encourages her to persevere: If the caterpillars manage to turn into butterflies, nothing is impossible. We must never lose the illusion or the desire to learn; look at me, I’m still determined to be a conductor one day!

We decided to enter into the production of Valentina as co-producers for two reasons: firstly, we loved the story. And secondly, we wanted to prove that our studio could make a whole animated film (we love challenges).

All the cinematography was made entirely in our studio, all processes from the initial development to the final cut to send to the lab. Moreover, we did it with an unbeatable quality/cost ratio, as we did the cinematography part whit only 1M€ or so.

We have heard that when you produce a film yourself, the things around it are more complicated than making the film itself. In our experience: yes, we can totally confirm this fact. The making of the shots was the easiest part, and that’s why it has been a long and arduous journey, but… wow, we have finished our first animated feature film! And, obviously, we are very proud of the result! and…hey, it’s even winning important awards! Because yes, it’s a low-cost film but is way over on quality than other productions much more expensive.

The secret? The team. All the credits goes to them, everyone has put a bit of their souls into Valentina, and it shows.

Amigos hasta la muerte (Friends Till Death) is a bittersweet and emotionally charged film. At first glance, based on the storyline, you wouldn’t expect it to have any VFX, but it does, and we enjoyed working on them, even though they weren’t killer tentacles, negative space explosions, or ships of evil chrononauts of the future.

Lastly, the production is carried out by MediaLimon and Undodez. 

Manly, Undodez called us, Antaruxa animation studio, to do the VFX for Amigos hasta la muerte.

On the other hand, another production in which Undodez counted on us for realized the VFX. As always, it was a pleasure to work with them.

In conclusion, we hope this sequel will be as successful as the first part, our friends at Undodez deserve it.

At last, no one will ever know what shots have VFX on

Finally, we highly recommend this films!

Valentina e diferente was the first breath of life of Valentina.  This film that become our first feature film as producers.

But before we were producers, Valentina e diferente was a strange professional service. We were asked to make a teaser in just one month. It seemed like an exciting challenge because we were only given a song, some simple drawings, no guidelines, and a meager budget. But in return, we had creative freedom. Basically, the client just wanted a professional result in a short time without giving importance to the rest. In fact, it didn’t seem like a good deal. But we liked the project, so we studied it, accepted the quest, and just did it. Yeah, that’s how we are, people of challenges.

As in any other work with freedom, we took the opportunity to test new techniques and technologies to give an extra touch of quality, this animation RandD was very useful for the pre-production of the future film.

We decided to enter into the production of Valentina as co-producers for two reasons: firstly, we loved the story. And secondly, we wanted to prove that our studio could make a whole animated film (we love challenges).

All the cinematography was made entirely in our studio, all processes from the initial development to the final cut to send to the lab. Moreover, we did it with an unbeatable quality/cost ratio, as we did the cinematography part whit only 1M€ or so.

The secret? The team. All the credits goes to them, everyone has put a bit of their souls into Valentina, and it shows.

Super Valentina is not just another teaser made in just one month! If fate wanted it in that way again, why not?

In this case, we did it smoothly and some advantages: the IP was based on the characters of the film we were making at that time (Valentina). So we only had to focus on lore, story, and quality.

We are very proud of the result, we think it is excellent, but it is something you have to decide for yourself. Like any parent, we are not objective… we love Super Valentina!

León y Olvido is a 2004 Spanish film, written and directed by Xavier Bermúdez.

Firstly, galician director Xavier Bermúdez won a Special Prize from the Jury at the 2004 Malaga Film Festival with ‘León y Olvido’, a film that toured the world from competition to competition, winning awards in Athens, Ourense or Toulouse for its director and leading actress, Martha Larralde.

Lastly, the production is carried out by Xamalú Filmes and Digital Cine Media. With the participation of Televisión de Galicia.

Manly, Xamalú Filmes called us, Antaruxa animation studio, to do the VFX for Olvido y León. The second part of the award-winning León y Olvido (2004).

On the other hand, another production in which Xamalú Filmes counted on us for realized the VFX. As always, it was a pleasure to work with them.

In conclusion, we hope this sequel will be as successful as the first part, our friends at Xamalú Filmes deserve it.

At last, no one will ever know what shots have VFX on

Finally, we highly recommend both films!

Non me espera ninguen, directed by Amanda Ortega.

Firstly, it is a romantic comedy starring Antonio Durán Morris and Isabel Blanco. Also, that was shot in recent months in Ourense and Os Peares. Furthermore, it is based on a story by Antonio Pastor, and is produced by Ézaro Films. Furthermore, with José Montero at the head. Besides, together with the winner of several Goya Awards, Ángel de la Cruz.Furthermore, he also signs the script.

On the other hand, Ourense and Os Peares are clear protagonists of the work. Further, the railway station or the miniature electric train exhibition halls served as the perfect setting for filming.

A train that passes on time every day, a station, a love story and our VFX are the necessary ingredients to try to turn this short film. Besides, in which we have had the pleasure of participating, into a masterpiece.

Finally, Non me espera ninguen was a fantastic challenge for Antaruxa animation studio.

Onde máis doe is another production in which Xamalú Filmes counted on us for realized the VFX. As always, it was a pleasure to work with them.

First of all, the work was for a documentary with a sinister plot of real horror. Although if the work was easy to do, It was difficult to know the story of this tragedy.

After threatening, his ex-partner for years, Marcos M. murders his 11-year-old son with a shovel. A year later, a popular jury condemns him for murder, killing in full use of his powers, and determines that the crime against the child did not seek anything other than to punish the mother. In the fact on which we base ourselves, violence, harassment, the murder of a child to harm the mother and the death threat that still hangs over the woman concur.

Finally, Onde máis doe is a film about gender violence that aims to be the opposite of the sensationalist treatment with which these dramas are usually treated.

Vegalsa-Eroski is a leader and benchmark in the food sector in Galicia. It is a Spanish cooperative distribution company belonging to the Mondragón Corporation.

The company is based in the Biscayan town of Elorrio, in the Basque Country, Spain. It was founded in 1969 and is today one of the most important distribution companies in Spain, with a workforce of more than 35,000 workers spread throughout the country.

Mondotropo called us for a very important mission: to make the VFX for the new Vegalsa campaign. The instructions were simple, we had to make the VFX with so high quality that nobody knows that they exists.

Perhaps, we would have preferred a secret mission (and with two more zeros on the bill). Still, we are not secret agents, and we wanted not to die in strange circumstances, so we simply decided to follow orders.

No one will ever know what shots have VFX (visual effects) on.
