The beat of Candomblé

2D rotoscope Animation

Commissioned by Elisa Bertolina, a Fashion Design graduate of NABA – Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti, Milano, these animations showcase her collection. It's based on a reinterpretation of the Candomblé costume, an Afro-Brazilian ritual that mixes ancient animistic religions and Catholic elements.

Originally, the ritual was characterized by an dramatic dance that brought together
African slaves and their descendants, while now the dance is accompanied by
a more powerful rhythm dictated by the drums.
