I'm a professional in the audiovisual field with expertise in editing, cinematography direction, and color grading. I kicked off my career in 2006, working on a UNEMAT (University of Mato Grosso) project as a documentary editor and cameraman. There, I gained extensive knowledge of cinematic language and technique, while also immersing myself in various realities and cultures of the state.
In 2010, I decided to delve into the realm of animation and 3D modeling, taking courses and attending workshops. Soon, I was invited to join the 3D animation and visual effects team at Black Filmes, a production company in São Paulo with over 20 years of experience. I had the opportunity to contribute to a game production as a Rigger and Animator, in addition to undertaking various advertising projects.
By 2016, my focus shifted to studying cinematography and color grading—two areas that always fascinated me. I delved into lighting, composition, camera movement, color correction, and visual aesthetics. I applied these skills to numerous projects, spanning both fiction and advertising.
In 2018, I was invited to join the Genius At Work team, an extension of the advertising agency Genius Publicidade, one of the largest agencies in Mato Grosso. There, I worked with prominent clients and brands, gaining access to cutting-edge equipment and resources.
In 2020 and 2023, Astronautas Filmes invited me to join their team in Brasília. This was a significant opportunity, exposing me to new markets and challenges, alongside collaboration with talented professionals.
Today, I take pride in my professional journey and the projects I've undertaken. Passionate about my work, I continuously seek to update and refine my skills in the ever-evolving field. I aspire to contribute further to the development of the audiovisual industry in Brazil and around the world.
