Desenvolvimento da direção de arte e concept art para a animação Saduci : reinterpretação do Saci com referências ao grupo étnico Mbundu

Abstract

This undergraduate thesis aims to develop the art direction and concept art focusing on the protagonist of the animation Saduci, a reinterpretation of the folkloric Saci, based on the cultural and historical references of the Mbundu ethnic group from Angola. The study focuses on creating an original and grounded visual aesthetic, incorporating historical and cultural research into the construction of characters and environments. The proposal seeks to reclaim Saci's African ancestry, turning him into a symbol of resistance while reflecting on the importance of representation and inclusion in audiovisual narratives.
