Talent Explorers, an ambitious animated project that is being produced by FC Barcelona’s audiovisual production factory in collaboration with Sony Music Latin Iberia (whose media content division is now headed by Sergi Reitg), with whom the Club signed a strategic agreement last summer to create unique entertainment experiences and promote ideas that connect music and sport to fans around the world.
Maga Animation Studio took care of the CG production and animation of the launch trailer, from modeling, rigging and animation to the final output (light, render, comp & FX). A great collaboration between Spain, Italy and USA, we joined forces with international talented artists and studios such as the Academy Award nominee Tab Murphy, (Tarzan, Brother Bear, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Teen Titans). Tomavision for pre-production, concept development, and Jorge Blanco, director of Spain’s top-grossing home-grown animation, Planet 51, and of Goya Award winner, serves as creative director on the series.
