I am a videomaker with many years of recognized expertize in video editing and videography, which  guarantees very efficient, creative, complete, and detailed video coverages, optmizing the usage of available resources in terms of excelence and design. Therefore, the editing process actually starts when I open the camera. One of my specialties is building an engaging content, producing a logic narrative with beggining, middle and end, allways prioritizing the emotion in depicting the characters in the most possible human aspect. I also have great sensibility when choosing and placing the music, and I'm often able to compose for the projects I work for. ​

EXPERIENCE

 

In 1989, I entered the Publicity and Propaganda course in the PUC/RS University, and in 1992 I was admitted as an intern on TVE, the public TV from the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, where I got the first notions of video production and how a broadcasting company works. When I graduated, in 1994, I had very clear on my mind that I needed to work in every area of video production, in order to get the most experience anyone could have. I started working as a Production Assistant and, soon after, as a producer for commercial and corporate videos. Still in 1994, I participated in my first political campaign for the government of the state of RS, as a producer and archivist.

 

That prompted me as keeping the work as archivist on a TV series for the elected government, which gave a better understanding of what kinds of framings, camera moves, and photography would be better to be used in a video. In 1996, I was the chief archivist in 2 other political campaigns for two major cities and in 1998, again, for the government. I was considered a pioneer in the digitising process of huge video collections.

 

Still in 1997 and during the following year, while working as an assistant director, I had my first contact with non-linear editing, on the AVID platform: love at first sight! In 1999, I worked as a video editor for RBS TV and TV COM, in Porto Alegre. In the end of the year, I went to the United States to learn English.

 

In the year 2000, being in the right place at the right tie, I started working as a video editor for TV shows on Pacific Factory Entertainment, in Los Angeles. In 2002 and 2003, I was one of the QR people on Point.360, being responsible for checking Disney productions that were being sold to Brazilian audiences. A little after that, I was the editor of “Everything Blue”, an award winning documentary by Jesse Acevedo. That inspired me to direct “In the Name of the Son”, along with a long time colleague, Tanira Lebedeff, about the political activism against the American invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan, also doing most of the videography and being the editor of the film.

 

Between 2004 and 2009, I was the senior editor at FJ Productions, being one of the creators of “Planeta Brasil”, a TV Globo International success among Brazilian immigrants around the world. From 2005 ink I also signed the post production work for “The Hollywood Reporter”, the TV series from the acclaimed Hollywood magazine. I did the same work for “Red Carpet Reporter”. Both TV shows went on Starz and HBO. During that period, I participated in a dozen of other TV projects and documentaries, being also responsible for training editors and videographers and starting my work as a producer and director-videographer.

 

In 2009, moved to New York to work with César Augusto, a Globo TV journalist, as a videographer and editor for television sports stories, which were aired by many TV shows from Globo TV and some of its subsidiaries in Brazil. In the 15-day car trip between the West and the East coast, I gathered beautiful shots fro the main national parks and state capitals, starting the building of a huge image bank, which kept growing as I later traveled to more than 20 American states.

 

In 2010, I opened my own production company, doing work with Marcos Peres, another reporter for SporTV, one of Globo TV subsidiaries, also as videographer and editor for sports stories, while doing a number of TV commercials aimed at the Brazilian community in the US. In partnership with B2 Conteúdo, I was one of the directors of a series of corporate videos for “Banco do Brasil”, a Brazilian state-owned bank, in which we showed New York City for Brazilian tourists. That added more shots for my video collection. Still in NYC, I did work for a lot of Brazilian TVs, such as Globo, RBS, SBT, Band, Rede TV, and the Mexican Univisión. Also did a cooperation with my former employer from the west coast, FJ Productions, interviewing people like Scarlett Johansson, Matt Damon, Emma Watson, Daniel Radcliffe, Whoopi Goldberg, Cameron Crowe, Thomas Haden Church, among others, for the TV series that company kept doing about cinema.

 

In 2012 I came back to Brazil, working at Rito Entretenimento Inteligente, participating in the creation, execution and direction of corporate megaevents, which were a great opportunity for me to put in practice all I had learned in all aspects of video production, now for live events. I also returned to my old market place, where I have been working in all kinds of video productions: political campaigns, TV commercials, web series, rock ’n roll DVDs and so on.

 

I’m pretty confident that this great variety of works in video helped building myself into a very strong player in the video market. For me, each project is a different opportunity to create strong content, which I do with a lot of responsibility, dedication, passion and, overall, a strong will to always get to the best result possible.
