Durable Nature
by Ars Thanea

Ars Thanea are an award-winning digital design studio based in Warsaw, Poland, who specialize in 3D animation, live action pieces, visual FX and augmented/virtual reality pieces. As well as building up an impressive artistic portfolio with the likes of Paramount Pictures, they have also created work alongside some of the globes leading brands, including Nike, Disney, and Ford.

Their project takes the form of a 3D animation, in which the environment drives the storytelling arc, as a battle between water and ice rejuvenates and replenishes the barren wilderness. To create their world, artistic director Adam Torczyński has overseen a project in which every droplet is perfectly rendered, making his animated world itself the protagonist of the piece.
