"O NOVO MORADOR"/ THE NEW RESIDENT
Created by AlmapBBDO and produced by Boiler Filmes, the film shows the routine of a family, especially the father's affectionate interaction with a little girl. The girl sees him as a playful character, a new resident who appeared during the lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic. https://youtu.be/Mjl8zrAiCIs
I was invited by Dulcidio Caldeira, the film director, to create the character for this film. The idea was that it should look like a monster, but be loving and fun.

Edu Cordeiro was the one who built the animatronic character costume.
