Creative Direction
I can either Direct talent for you after understanding your vision, or support your Directing. I've had over 20 years experience with Directing talent, and composing shots for cinema and commercials
Cinematography / Filming
Through the lens and with skillful use of lighting, I capture emotions, moments, and perspectives that connect with your audience, wow them and encourage them to share it among their friends. I film macro cinematography (capturing small details not seen with the eye); ultra slow motion (for moments missed with the blink of an eye), underwater cinematography and aerial cinematography. My Cinema Camera is capable of filming up to 8K resolution at Full Frame, in Prores or raw, up to 300 frames per second and in Rec 709 / Rec 2020 colour space for converting to Dolby Vision in Post Production.
Sound Recording
I capture rich, dynamic sounds and voices using the best Schoeps sound microphones and lavalieres as used in major Motion Pictures. The quality is extremely high and for an additional service, the sound mix can be converted to Dolby Atmos in post production.
Virtual Production
Virtual production brings versatility and originality, letting us create never-before-seen content that captures the imagination, joining the digital world with the physical world in real time. It blends traditional filmmaking techniques with modern technology to help achieve your vision. I have the technical equipment and skills to achieve this either with Unreal Engine, Houdini or AI.
Animation
Using a simple mobile phone, I can animate a range of animated creatures, animals or digital humans for your project. Professional actors can act out emotional scenes that engage your audience and stunt actors can act out action, fight or dance scenes that blend seamlessly with your animated characters.
Video Editing
Editing is where the magic happens. I create flow, suspense, and impactful moments that grab attention and keep your audience engaged from start to finish. Expert video editing that explains your story in a memorable way, making the audience laugh, cry or tug at their heart strings. Combined with expert colour grading, amazing sound design and dynamic motion graphics, your content will go viral in no time.
Visual Effects (FX)
Have an idea for something ambitious that doesn't exist in real life, or existed in the past or set in the future? Maybe your films need a huge Michael Mann explosion or sci fi effects? Leave it with me. I can create worlds, environment design and visual effects with photorealistic scanned objects inside Unreal Engine and Houdini that will seamlessly fit into your content.
Motion Graphics
Dynamic Motion Graphics to keep your audience engaged from start to finish
Colour Correction / Grading
Color sets the tone and creates unforgettable visuals. My color grading brings out the vibrancy and emotion that make your story irresistible. I've trained with some of the best colourists in the film industry and you're content is in good hands to bring out your best work.
Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos Mastering
With my cinema camera I record in Rec 2020 colour space and the conversion to Dolby Vision in Davinci Resolve is easy. My Schoeps Microphones record the highest quality sound, perfect for Dolby Atmos configurations. For high end productions, we have a Dolby Vision and Atmos certified mastering studio here in Lisbon that I partner with.
Rendering and Distribution
I have high computer and graphics processing power with ray tracing abilities to enable the highest quality renders of your content, animation or visual effects. I can render in any format perfect for the method of distribution you intend, whether it be a cinema screening or social media.
Social Media / Tracking Performance
I use various marketing tools to help my customers track the performance of videos on social media with a wide range of metrics to quickly get a full picture of their marketing campaign.
