Design, Filming, Production, and Post-Production of Music Video and Album
We dove heart and soul into the world of Fado to create the ‘Noites Curtas de Inverno’ music video and the packaging for Nina Simonet’s Ausência album. With cameras as precise as the melancholy strum of a Portuguese guitar, we filmed, photographed, edited, and post-produced a video that captures the essence of chilly nights and warm emotions.
For the album, we designed packaging that’s not just a cover—it’s a work of art that whispers saudade in every detail. Because, let’s be real, great Fado is like a fine Port wine: it needs time, soul, and a dash of genius to shine.
Noites Curtas de Inverno,’ a duet with Noé Gavina, is the soul of Fado in music video form, drawn from Nina Simonet’s acclaimed Ausência album. With Daniel Gomes’ Portuguese guitar weeping saudade, Noé Gavina’s classical guitar (also the song’s author and composer) weaving melodies, and Filipe Teixeira’s double bass anchoring the emotion, Vitor Silva’s production elevated every note to pure magic. Our role? We transformed that magic into visuals and design worthy of Fado’s heritage—because even saudade deserves a stage that shines.
Six originals, six reinterpretations, and an album that’s as beautiful on the outside as it is on the inside. Ausência isn’t just music—it’s a graphic object that makes the heart sing and the eyes dance.
