A Tribute to Giorgio Moroder
The grand finale of Videocittà 2024 featured a special tribute concert to the legendary Giorgio Moroder, performed by the Orchestra of the Conservatorio di Santa Cecilia. To honor the maestro's extraordinary career, we were tasked with creating the animated visuals that served as the backdrop for this unforgettable event.
Directed by Robotina, we designed a series of vibrant neon-style animations that accompanied the orchestra's performance, highlighting key moments from Moroder's iconic career, including soundtracks like Top Gun and Flashdance. The visuals were crafted to enhance the emotional impact of the music, bringing to life the timeless compositions that have defined multiple generations.
