Video for the band Laço de Fita, Illustratios were hand made in Adobe Illustrator and animated in Adobe After Effects, entirely without the use of artificial intelligence. Taking as reference the visual style of J. Borges’s cordel woodcuts, I presented the concept of the girl and the mermaid to the band. Two friends who meet but live in different worlds. Despite time and distance, they will forever be connected by the friendship and admiration they feel for each other.
