Bombillo Amarillo, the Colombian co-producer of “The Violinist,” winner of Annecy’s top Cristal for best animated feature film, is launching an animation beachhead in Spain.
BA Estudios, an animation studio, will be up and running from the week of July 13, based out of Bilbao, capital of Bizkaia, part of Spain’s Basque Country and home to a vibrant local film industry.
Founded in 2010, and a 2D and 3D animation services company, on “The Violinist” Bombillo Amarillo contributed a total nine minutes of animation, covering layouts, backgrounds, animation and part of post-production and effects.
Based in Medellín, it has also supplied animation on Netflix neo-medieval Polish adventure comedy series “Kayko y Kokosh,” backgrounds on Prime Video’s “The Boys” and characters and rigs on Cartoon Network’s “Los Colorado” and the entirety of animation in Netflix soccer bio “James.”
BA Estudios will be looking to both produce animation titles and work as a service company,” CEO Daniel Vélez told Variety.
