In 2002, the Prix Ars Electronica jury recognised “Panic Room” by BUF (Computer Animation) with an Award of Distinction. BUF has 1 more work in this atlas.
With "Panic Room", the French 3D production studio BUF radically expands the path started with "Fight Club". The completely digital storyboard allows the director to create previously non-existent image worlds - the camera becomes the eye of the director in the broadest sense.
