  Mera explains the choice of AI animation for a biography spanning countries and historical periods, and separates preparation, animation and voice performance.

  • Schedule: the script began seven years earlier; prompting and animation took about eighteen months. These describe different stages.
  • Settings: filming across countries, cities and historical periods would have been costly; the team chose generative animation.
  • Voices: Mera says all voices are human performances, including his own as Gardel. Generated images do not imply generated voices.

  These are the director’s production remarks, not software instructions. The article’s description of the Japanese award differs from the official record used here; award data is unchanged.
