Aecom approached Squint/Opera to help with their 2016 Olympics pitch for a key site in Rio de Janeiro. Squint Opera delivered an aerial site image and a compelling three-minute animation that referenced the Argentinian artist Blu’s fascinating stop-frame animated mural in Buenos Aires.
Alongside the architects Squint-Opera worked swiftly and simultaneously to respond to many iterative changes. The film’s urban illustrations gradually build up on the blank canvas concrete wall. The final cut is a rich tapestry of imagery that reflects the high energy aesthetic and culture so rooted in the culture of the Olympic Games and Brazil.
