A Princesa e a Ervilha / The Princess and the Pea - Short Movie. Brazil, 2011
Graduation Project for ESPM BA Graphic Design Program (PGD).
Awarded Best PGD (1st place) at 2012 ESPM Yearbook
Based on Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale, "The Princess and the Pea" is a shortfilm made for the final project of my graphic design graduation at ESPM-Sul. It's goal was to combine the graphic design creation method with film making, focusing on the production design process.
The complete project includes an academic research on cinema and production design history, a marketing research on the local movie business and the design method applied to the production design process, using as an example the making of the short film.
