The final degree project entitled “Nunca foi muito mas fizemos o máximo”, explores the concept of “saudade”, traditionally expressed in Portuguese poetry and fado, through a 3D animation capsule.
The goal is to give this feeling, considered a jewel, a contemporary visual representation.
Throughout the project, research is carried out from the etymology to the development of "saudade" in the human person; and a narrative treatment is presented that, together with the creation of a storyboard and a technical script, formalize the research.
The final work combines visual, narrative and musical elements with the aim of offering a new perspective on saudade, differentiating it from feelings such as melancholy or sadness.
