Our life is formed by all lives. A personal journey through various 

Pre-Columbian civilizations



The spectator is invited to travel through different cultures through visually striking scenarios that have been designed taking into consideration the historical, geographical, and archaeological context.

This pre-Columbian culture started in Guerrero, Mexico, between 700 BC and 900 AD.

INFO

Olmeca

They are known for their realistic sculptures of animals and human figures with very characteristic features, such as thick lips, wide nose, and almond-shaped eyes, carved in stone. They were used as decoration in ceremonial and funerary structures, and it is believed that they were also used in religious acts to represent gods and ancestors. Their cultural legacy influenced the later civilizations of Mesoamerica.


Creative Process

A large part of the project was dedicated to researching civilizations, from geographic settings to the search for materials used in their corresponding times and places, artistic specialties, and customs.

Introduction


Sound design was developed by Ralph, who played with percussion and tribal rhythms and applied sound recordings of stones, tremors, earthquakes, water, and fluids to bring nuances of realism.


The typography was hand-drawn by illustrator Ignasi Font. 



Lighting

In addition, I carried out an experimentation process

with textures, lighting, and animation for each clip.
