The first feature CG Tom Little Cuba and the Magic Mirror "opens this Sunday

Cuba on the list of countries that produced the film computer has to add your own movement. Meñique ESPEJO y El Magico (Tom Little Magic Mirror) opens this Sunday, July 20 in Havana. The film is based on the 19th century-esque story of Tom Thumb Cuban writer / philosopher José Martí based. It is headed by Ernesto Padron, a veteran comedian who in 1985 in Havana, which was directed by his brother Juan Padron, Cuban wrote animated films vampires. Here is a summary of Tom Petty:

Tom Klein is the story of small farmers who want to free their family out of poverty. The plague of insects that damage crops from the field, where he lives and a meeting with the mirror of the better half of the events that destroy characterize the beginning of his adventure. The mirror shows Meñique is a woman of his dreams, urging him to follow his brothers Pedro and Pablo, the city ...

The fact that this film still exists, is a remarkable success for the island nation of 11 million people who do not have special schools for animation. The movie took almost seven years and has challenges that asked not familiar to producers in other parts of the world. For example, the production has moved for a period of time, because the studio is not enough devices such as video cards and computer. In an interview in 2010 , Ernesto Padron said that crew members work from home, as they have only five computers in the studio. Finally, the University of Havana is awarded the production of six other computers so that they continue to artists to do the film.

Overcoming the crew also enormous obstacles again. Lack of exchange of information in Cuba, because of the political situation in the country, which means that the crew had to teach himself computer animation from scratch. And as long as most of the countries that give the field of computer animation to the support and training of artists in the countries doing the most experienced, but Meñique the Cuban Institute of Cinema Art and Industry (daily) that the artist himself to learning model , plant, texture, light, and covers the motherboard. One of the overseers of the animated film, Perez Jersey, was among a small number of crew members who have experience in the CG animation outside of Cuba, after working for a short time to Xing Xing Digital Beijing, China. It was not until the end of the movie production studio that Spanish Ficción PRODUCCIONES came on board as co-producer, the Cuban team to help correct technical errors, as well as the help of complex technical operations such as lighting and rendering.

The result is not only the basic function of the CGI Cuba, but a new group of artists and crew who are now fluent in the language of computer animation. What remains to be seen if he is still paying for the daily production of CG animation in Cuba now that the country has formed a team of production.

The reward for our Spanish-production of featurette for the film abothe:
