THE PROJECT

From still photos
to a TV opener.

EPTV commissioned me to create the opener for “Cadê a Marmita?”, Renato’s segment on the TV program Espia Só. The starting material was a photograph of the setting and a set of photos of the presenter.

I cleaned up the setting, cut out individual elements and built a layered composition. I developed the animation and sound design to turn those still images into a distinctive opening sequence.
