Createai's Brotherhood Of Blades Animated Short Wins 3 Golds At Collision Awards, Beating Top Global Studios

(MENAFN- PR Newswire) The three Gold Awards were for Best Animation, Best Animated Character, and Best Animation Style, with an additional Silver Award for Best Motion Design. The short was developed alongside Infinity Animation Studios, a CreateAI portfolio company. Notably, this marks the first time a Chinese animation has won at the Collision Awards. In its category, Brotherhood of Blades outperformed internationally renowned studios to secure the triple-gold achievement.

Brotherhood of Blades is adapted from the climactic action sequence of the film of the same name. Bo Liu, director of the highly-rated Zhen Dao Ge (On the Edge) animated series, and the Infinity Animation team produced the work with the assistance of CreateAI's technology. The development combined traditional hand-drawn aesthetics with AI-powered enhancements in areas such as texturing and rendering. This approach preserved the poetic visual style of classic "wuxia" culture while reducing overall production time by 50%.

"It's a brilliant demonstration of how the future of animation lies in the seamless integration of traditional craftsmanship and cutting-edge innovation - the very spirit our industry celebrates.
