In the hands of a skilled craftsman, artificial intelligence yields nothing more than a mass-produced product. When perfect images become commonplace, the viewer begins to seek authenticity and the emotional imprint of the human hand. Human psychology leads us to place the highest value on intention, creative effort, and the deep cultural context that a machine cannot comprehend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tomek Bagi\u0144ski<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Director, screenwriter and producer. In his youth, he was passionate about computer animation, which he learned all by himself by reading industry magazines and analyzing the sequences of frames he was interested in following the \u201creverse engineering\u201d principle. He was planning to study at the \u0141\u00f3d\u017a Film School, but back then computer animation was not highly regarded. Because of that he started to study architecture at the Technical University in Warsaw. In his second year, in 1997, he started the production of the film Rain<\/em> that won the \"YoungElectronicsArts\" 3D graphics competition and opened the door for him at the advertising agency Platige Image. It was in Platige Image where in 2002 he made The<\/em> Cathedral,<\/em> for which he won his Oscar nomination. He dropped out of university when in his fourth year to make animations. In 2002 he made Fallen Art<\/em> (which won a BAFTA Award), and in 2009 \u2013 The<\/em> Kinematograph<\/em>. He has been making animations, game intros, commercials and films for years \u2013 from Penderecki and ESA to Polish Legends<\/em>. Since 2018 he has worked as creative producer of The<\/em> Witcher<\/em> series for Netflix; he was also the co-author of Into the Night<\/em> (2020).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
