From concept sketch to AI-generated frame.
For this campaign created for CNA, one of Brazil’s most established education networks, we explored a production workflow driven almost entirely by artificial intelligence.
The project introduces animated characters representing different learning paths, from languages to robotics, programming, AI and the creator universe.
Here’s a glimpse of the process: original concept sketches followed by the final AI-generated frames.
Known for high-end CGI and animation craft, BIG now takes its first step with AI as the main production tool.
Swipe to see the transformation.

Do concept ao frame final gerado por IA.
Para esta campanha criada para o CNA, uma das redes de educação mais consolidadas do Brasil, exploramos um fluxo de produção conduzido quase inteiramente por inteligência artificial.
O projeto apresenta personagens animados que representam diferentes jornadas de aprendizado, de idiomas a robótica, programação, IA e o universo creator.
Aqui vai um vislumbre do processo: dos concepts originais aos frames finais gerados por IA.
Reconhecida pelo alto nĂvel em CGI e craft de animação, a BIG dá agora seu primeiro passo com a IA como principal ferramenta de produção.
Arraste para ver a transformação.

From sketch to slam dunk.
For this project created for Hellmann’s, the goal was to capture the playful energy of NBA game broadcasts.
The film features Funko-style characters inspired by the NBA collectibles, known for their oversized heads and bold proportions. A look that brings a lot of personality, but also makes certain movements, like a dunk, a bit more challenging to animate.
One of the highlights was blending live-action with animation. A real hand interacts with the character on screen, filmed with a 3D-printed head on green screen and later integrated through careful lighting and shadow work.
In this video, we’re sharing a glimpse of the process, from the first sketches, to the 3D renders, all the way to the final film.
