Academic / Personal Project

"Sirenas" is a motion graphics video created as a visual interpretation of the song by Taburete. The project seeks to represent the emotional intensity, rhythm, and narrative of the lyrics through abstract animation and synchronized transitions.

Designed and animated using Adobe After Effects and Illustrator, the project experiments with shape motion, typography, and dynamic composition to evoke the sensations of the song.

Project Objectives

Concept

  • Translate the emotion of the song “Sirenas” into a visual narrative.
  • Experiment with rhythm, color, and typography to represent the lyrics.
  • Create a piece where sound and image merge into one cohesive story.

Design

  • Develop minimalist visual compositions aligned with the song’s mood.
  • Synchronize animation timing precisely with musical cues.
  • Use vector shapes and motion paths to create visual flow.

Outcome

  • Produce a complete motion graphics video synchronized with audio.
  • Express visual emotion through abstraction rather than literal storytelling.
  • Enhance visual storytelling techniques through music interpretation.

Design Process

Research

Key Findings

  • The song evokes a duality between calm and intensity, like waves and sirens.
  • Visual rhythm must reflect both musical tempo and lyrical emotion.
  • Color and motion can convey emotional transitions better than literal imagery.

Definition

The Project

  • A motion graphics video synchronized to the rhythm and message of “Sirenas”.
  • Each segment of the animation represents an emotional stage of the song.
  • Abstract shapes replace literal visuals to focus on feeling and rhythm.

Ideation

Visual and Sound Harmony

  • Design of visual beats matching tempo changes.
  • Color palette transitions reflecting emotional dynamics.

Results

The final video captures the essence of “Sirenas” through color, rhythm, and abstract animation. It visualizes sound and emotion as one continuous narrative, synchronizing every beat and lyric with motion.

  • Complete motion video synced with the original song.
  • Abstract storytelling through light, rhythm, and motion.
  • Enhanced timing, editing, and motion synchronization techniques.

Challenges and Learnings

The most challenging part was translating sound into visual rhythm. It required deep analysis of the track, synchronizing frames precisely with beats, and balancing abstraction with meaning. The process refined my motion design skills and timing sense.

  • Synchronizing keyframes and audio layers precisely.
  • Maintaining emotional coherence while using abstract visuals.
  • Managing render performance for high-resolution animation.

Next Steps

  • Develop additional music visualizations exploring other genres.
  • Collaborate with musicians for official music videos.
