'Perpetuum Mobile' Nominated For Goya Award

'Perpetuum Mobile', a short film produced by Silverspace, a 3D audiovisual company, has been nominated by the Cinematographic Arts and Sciences Academy for a Goya Award in the best animated short film category.
Written and directed by Raquel García-Ajofrín Virtus and Enrique García Rodríguez, Perpetuum Mobile is the first cinematographic project produced and directed entirely by Silverspace. Its plot tells the life of a young Leonardo Da Vinci and recollects the events that motivated the young genius to dedicate his life to art and science.
Silverspace chose to use Autodesk’s Maya 3D modelling and animation software along with Pixar’s Renderman. For post-production, which was carried out by Rubén Salazar, Silverspace used Autodesk Combustion desktop compositing software for colour grading and compositing.
Perpetuum Mobile has already received 12 award nominations and has won awards at the Independent Film Festival of California, L´Uovo de Napoli, the Las Vegas International Film Festival and the Oregon Da Vinci Film Festival. The film has also been translated into 12 different languages and was shown at SIGGRAPH 2007 and the Sitges Cinema Festival in Catalunya, Spain.
The nominees for the best animated short film category are:

• Atención al cliente by Marcos Valin and David Alonso
• El bufón y la infanta by Juan Ramón Galiñanes García
• La flor más grande del mundo by Juan Pablo Etcheverry
• Perpetuum Mobile by Raquel García-Ajofrín Virtus and Enrique García Rodríguez
