Drama & Damage: Kutuko Let’s Loose for Bullpadel Xplo 02

Posted on Tuesday, October 20, 2026

In their latest work for Spanish sports gear brand Bullpadel, the CG motion crew at Kutuko in Madrid capture the full impact of the new Xplo 02 Padel Racket with plenty of drama and over-the-top damage.

Ibón Vergara, lead 3D artist at Kutuko: We wanted to move away from the typical sports product video to build a more narrative concept. The real challenge was how to show raw force without falling into predictable clichés.

The idea was to use a destroyed court after an intense match to reveal that level of power and build intrigue, tweaking the timing of every shot to create a feeling of inertia and impending impact. It all flows through a sequence that steadily builds in pace, making the dominant character of the Xplo 02 clear from the very first frame.
