Globo’s telenovela Garota do Momento (Girl of the Moment) takes viewers back in time to Rio de Janeiro in 1958. It tells the story of Beatriz (Duda Santos), a young woman who travels to the city looking for her mother and finds herself the poster girl for the perfume company and in the middle of several complicated relationships.
Rio and New York City-based Koi Factory – winner of multiple awards from G.E.M.A.’s progenitor, Promax – created the series’ retro 2D animated title sequence, which is set to Little Richard’s anthem of the time, “Tutti Frutti.” Koi gives the sequence a vintage feel, keeping the animation simple and the palette a bit washed out.
Garota do Momento premiered November 4 in Brazil on Globo.
