BUF turns 25 and gets a new site!
BUF, a Paris-based visual effects and animation studio, celebrates its 25th anniversary in the world of post-production this year!
The occasion was marked by the release of a new anniversary showreel, showcasing their best work:
Since 1985, BUF has been involved in creating complex and diverse visual effects, providing post-production services for production companies across multiple industries:
- Post-Production and Visual Effects for major American studios: Avatar, Speed Racer, The Dark Knight, Spider-Man 3, The Matrix, Fast and Furious, Fight Club, etc.
- TV Commercials: Peugeot, Citroën, Renault, Nissan, Sprite, Canal+, Orange, etc.
- Music Videos: Madonna, The White Stripes, Superbus, Benjamin Diamond, Air, U2, The Chemical Brothers, etc.
Mainly spread across two large Parisian facilities covering 20,000 m², BUF can host up to 750 workstations (send in your resumes ;) ), with 5,720 processors dedicated to rendering, 120 TB of storage, and their own proprietary 2D/3D software — developed in-house over 25 years in their R&D center. Quite the impressive setup :)
Below are some selected works, but I highly recommend visiting their website, which has been updated and features dozens of additional video references:
Of course, BUF usually doesn’t work directly with clients — it’s mostly production companies (Wanda, Paranoid, Irene, Partizan, Télécreateurs, etc.) or directors who call upon BUF’s expertise for their visual effects needs.
