Learn to tell short animated stories to share with the world

All audiovisual projects go through a series of phases before the final product is released. These are pre-production, production, and post-production. In this Domestika course, see how each is applied to the creation of an animated short film.

Alongside Dalmiro Buigues and Martín Dasnoy—founders of the animation studio Buda.tv—learn the creative process for a short animation, from the concept to the final piece. Discover the techniques that have led them to work with brands such as Rappi, Nike, and Fox, and apply them to the peculiar final project: a collaborative short film in which all the students participate simultaneously.
