[ HOW WE MADE TARMAC // BEHIND THE SCENES ]
Written, designed and performed by humans.
Finished with AI.
TARMAC is a moonshot by filmmakers Albert Bozesan & Robert Sladeczek. We're making a 2D adult animated comedy pilot in weeks, not years, without sacrificing the writers' room, the voice booth, or human artwork.
A New Kind of Animation
Human artwork & performance with AI efficiency.
"This is Ramstein Air Base. Well, 22 floors below it..."
Welcome to TARMAC, the Time Anomaly Research and Matter Acceleration Center. We're an experimental government facility solving the nuclear waste problem forever — by perpetually sending it one week into the future. Incidentally, that's also how we protect our budget: if we stop existing, seven days from now, the world's gonna be flooded with radioactive garbage. Kinda cool how that works out, right?

Paul is the heart and the liability of TARMAC. He once replaced himself with his own past version to take a week off. But he means well. He really does.
Sara designs and maintains the Time Spring with her deep expertise in quantum computing, quantum communication, and advanced guesswork. Her discovery of "weektons", energy harnessed from mass traveling through time, netted her the coveted Shadow Nobel Prize.
Agent Rowbird expertly hops between all covert government agencies, fitting seamlessly into any team and collecting (and connecting) the gossip. The one place he can't stand is Washington D.C. Those folks don't know about anything that's really going on.
A calm and competent mind with a high level of trust for his team, the Colonel only shows up when things have gone wrong at TARMAC. He's a constant presence.

AI in service of human creativity
For TARMAC, AI renders the frames, saving millions of dollars and weeks of time. But it doesn't tell the writers what's funny, it doesn't imitate a voice actor's lines and it doesn't take the pen out of a character designer's hand.
This project exists because we believe the trend of isolated solo AI creators loses an essential point of filmmaking: The best stories come from people laughing together in a room. Our goal is simple: maximize the time we spend having creative conversations with friends and minimize the time churning at the computer while keeping creative control.
The core toolkit is Magnific* for image and video models (for the pilot, via their AI Partner Program), Blender with custom-coded scene tooling for layout, and DaVinci Resolve for edit and finishing. The screenplays are written in Throughline.
Let's Talk
You can become a part of this new thing. The episode will happen. But for it to become a show that people watch, distribution is key. If that sounds like your superpower:
[ FREQUENTLY ASKED // DECLASSIFIED ]
Questions about the show, the AI, and the humans behind it
-
01 Is TARMAC an AI-animated show?
Humans wrote, directed, voiced, edited and illustrated the characters of TARMAC AI was used to pose and animate the characters, as well as render environments and props, which allows the artists to produce entire episodes within weeks without a dependence on Hollywood budgets or control.
-
02 What AI tools and animation techniques are used?
The core toolkit is Magnific.com*, which generously provided the team access to its image and video models as part of their AI Partner Program. Scenes are built with custom-coded tooling in the open-source 3D software Blender, and edited in DaVinci Resolve.
-
03 Who created TARMAC?
TARMAC was written, directed and put together in post-production by Albert Bozesan and Robert Sladeczek. The characters were designed and illustrated by Ariane Emmerich. It is produced by Peak State Entertainment GmbH.
-
04 Is the writing AI-generated?
No. Every word of TARMAC is written by humans, in the writing software Throughline (https://getthroughline.com).
-
05 Are the voice actors real?
The starring voice actors Martina Peroni and Chris Auber are real in the physical sense, but the directors consider their talents to be unreal.
-
06 What is TARMAC about?
TARMAC — the Time Anomaly Research and Matter Acceleration Center — is an adult animated workplace comedy about a secret government facility that solves the nuclear waste problem forever by perpetually sending it one week into the future. It's also how they protect their budget: if they stop existing, seven days from now the world is flooded with radioactive garbage.

07 When and where can I watch TARMAC?
A full sequence and a behind-the-scenes video are available to watch on this page. To see more or to support the project, write to team@peak-state.com.
-
08 How is TARMAC different from other AI animation projects?
The TARMAC crew is focused on the creative team experience. Many AI projects try to minimize personnel — even to the point of individuals prompting alone at home. While that can be a valid approach, we enjoy spending as much time with other crazy brains as possible, and relegating AI to a subservient position only: it does the time- and money-intensive stuff, while we make the creative choices.
