To grain or not to grain
“People, please! We’re all frightened and horny.”
The quote above is from an episode of The Simpsons, it was my inspiration for the shots I made for the film CONTÁGIO. Production house C.R.I.M. invited 15 directors to do 3 shots for a collective film about the pandemic. The film is available for free at FILMIN.
Wearing chroma key is my go-to for shootings

Shooting in color
Shooting the new tv documentary series AS COISAS EM VOLTA for portuguese television public channel RTP2. It’s a series about everyday objects, and their evolution and social impact.

Don’t say goodbye without leaving a mark

Spoiler alert we’ll stain our shirt and say goodbye! You can see all episodes on RTPplay streaming platform.
