Is it possible to produce today without the “human algorithm”? This presentation explores how studios like USER T38 (with 25 years of experience and a track record of nurturing industry talent) are experiencing the current creative “renaissance” in post-production. We will analyze how conceptual design and mixed media techniques are the true differentiating factor in VFX: from advanced CGI, traditional animation, and DMPs, to ink shots, real embroidery, and old-school effects.

From the front lines of production, Patricia Cano (VFX & Animation Producer) will outline the critical factors that influence a project’s success: from logistics and legal frameworks when incorporating generative AI, to the human judgment required to budget and scale teams in an environment where the rules change every week. How do you handle tight budgets where compromising on quality isn’t an option?

From creating dystopian sequences in Full CGI for Day One in just six weeks, to the creative animation VFX for Sigue Mi Voz from the script, or the traditional effects of La Cosa en la Niebla. Through these and other projects, premiering at Mundos Digitales, a visual production guide will be presented, where the human factor will be key to resolving the creative and technological challenges facing the industry.
