The Mini Adventures of Nina

Mini adventures of Nina, my newborn daughter. Episodes 1, 2 and 3.

I wanted to make short stories of the daily life of a small baby, without the usual tricks, like dubbing or recording voiceover thoughts. Nina animations and expressions should tell the narrative.

Made entirely with photographs.

Nina Dance

What can I say? My little baby is dancing and hugging trees.

Birds on the Wires

Winner of the YouTube Play Guggenheim Biennial Festival.

Reading a newspaper, I saw a picture of birds on the electric wires. I cut out the photo and decided to make a song, using the exact location of the birds as notes (no Photoshop edit). I knew it wasn’t the most original idea in the universe. I was just curious to hear what melody the birds were creating.

I sent the music to the photographer, Paulo Pinto, who I Googled on the internet. He told his editor, who told a reporter and the story ended up as an interview in the very same newspaper.

Here I’ve posted a short video made with the photo, the music and the score (composed by the birds).
