The short animation movie of 11 minutes, all done with pencil and crayons on paper, is the final project in visual programming graduation at the Rio de Janeiro State University Design School, which received maximum score, with supervision from Noni Geiger. The production took 9 months, 4 research, and the remainder in the implementation of the short movie, whose goal is to pass historical and artistic knowledge permeating the reality with fiction.
The fictional character witness moments of Brazilian history, and his perception of these events changes due to its experience among the natives. Aiming towards outlining this change, a graphic analysis of illustrations in books of the time (centuries XV and XVI) was conducted to show the European perspective as engravings. Also, an analysis of the various forms of representation in Indian art, to use this style as a representation of the indigenous look and with that show both points of view throughout history.
