Ruben Monteiro - O Meu Nome

This is my graduation project made for the Master in Animation at AKV St.Joost, in Breda, Netherlands.
During the history of my family, several challenges and unfortunate events shaped drastically the way I am, as a person. 'O Meu Nome' is a story based on those challenges and coincidences, and in particular, how I got my name.
The project was made in stop motion. I rotoscoped footage and laser-cut, frame-by-frame, silhouettes of each movement. Then, builded the scenarios and animated.
