Large-format Budda figure created for the premiere of the film “Budda. Dzieciak ’98”.

Budda Dzieciak ’98

A large-format mascot produced for the film premiere at Warsaw’s Multikino.

A premiere object built to attract attention

The large-scale Budda mascot was produced as a distinctive part of the visual setting for the premiere of “Budda. Dzieciak ’98”. Projects like this combine promotional, scenographic, and event functions — they need to build atmosphere, read well in a live venue, and communicate the identity of the project immediately.

Key project highlights

  • Large scale and immediate recognizability

    The figure was designed as a strong visual accent for the event, readable from a distance and instantly associated with the character and the film.

  • Scenographic and promotional role in one object

    The mascot had to function both as a spatial event element and as a memorable promotional object tied directly to the premiere.

  • Fast production for a one-off event

    Large-format 3D printing is particularly effective for premiere builds where the schedule is short and the form must stay fully custom.

  • Ready for transport and on-site installation

    Once completed, the object was delivered directly to the venue and became part of the final evening setup in Warsaw.

  • Designed for live audience impact

    At this scale, geometry alone is not enough — finishing quality, silhouette, and overall spatial presence are what make the object work during the event.

Preparing for assembly

Each printed part was fitted to support efficient joining and surface processing in later stages.
