My Sweet Orange Tree (Meu Pé de Laranja Lima, 2012)

I created a main title sequence for My Sweet Orange Tree (Meu Pé de Laranja Lima, 2012) as a personal project, incorporating paper elements in a 3D world to reflect the film’s themes of imagination and resilience. Inspired by Zezé’s creativity, the sequence uses textured paper, handwritten notes, and layered cutouts, animated in a whimsical yet heartfelt style, to capture the nostalgia and warmth of his journey. The 3D paper environment symbolizes Zezé’s ability to transform his challenging reality into something hopeful and magical.
