SYNOPSIS

A young adventurer wanders with his mule over the dry and mysterious land of Cariri paraibano looking for his wife. On a treacherous and dangerous path, he gets lost when encounters a fork in the road. He must choose between the alluring mermaid song and the road that will lead him back to his rough farming life with his wife.

MORE ABOUT IT

This project was my first major freelance gig and took one year and seven months to complete. Working with Minna Miná, we handled every step, from the script to the credits, and delivered the final product to Pedro Jácome, our musician client who was responsible for the executive production and audio.

I used this project as an opportunity to learn throughout the process and to experiment with animation techniques. I combined Photoshop and After Effects extensively. Each tiny piece of the design features animated textures created with brushes in Photoshop. This process alone took me three long months to get every texture moving just right.
