    paper Audra Festival 2025 - Visual Identity Video (3d Animation)

    Audra Festival 2025 – Visual Identity Video

    This visual identity video was created for the Audra Festival 2025 edition, which was developed in coordination with the M. K. Čiurlionis National Art Museum to mark the 150th anniversary of Mikalojus Konstantinas Čiurlionis.

    The video was specifically produced for this commemorative edition of the festival, drawing inspiration from Čiurlionis’ artistic legacy and translating it into contemporary animated visual language.

    My role

    • 3D animation
    • Motion design
    • Visual development

    The work explores rhythm, abstraction, and organic movement, connecting sound, motion, and historical reference within a modern festival context.
