O Palácio da ventura

A project based on a poem by Antero de Quental

a Portuguese author

"Sonho que sou um cavaleiro andante.

Por desertos, por sóis, por noite escura,

Paladino do amor, busco anelante

O palácio encantado da Ventura!

Mas já desmaio, exausto e vacilante,

Quebrada a espada já, rota a armadura...

E eis que súbito o avisto, fulgurante

Na sua pompa e aérea formosura!

Com grandes golpes bato à porta e brado:

Eu sou o Vagabundo, o Deserdado...

Abri-vos, portas de ouro, ante meus ais!

Abrem-se as portas d'ouro com fragor...

Mas dentro encontro só, cheio de dor,

Silêncio e escuridão - e nada mais!"

Experimentation with the projects scenary

Continuation of skerching of scenary but this time with character

in scene

Storyboard done in graphite pencil of the story throughout the short.

The hero wanders the dessert...

Searching for the so famous Palácio da Ventura

Trough hot desert days and cold desert nights...

He endures for awaits is worth it

Almost giving in

To the unforgiving desert, he continues...

Broken sword, broken armor, he continues...

And then, he forgets all his fatigue for he sees it.

At last! The oh so awaited

Palácio da Ventura

But inside he finds only darkness,

Silence and solitude... And nothing more.
