Director, Editor, Filmmaker
Creativity
It’s the foundation of both my passion and my work, it’s what makes stories stand out, it’s what makes this fun. Having my creativity challenged by a new project and overcoming its difficulties is one of the greatest satisfactions
Knowledge
I don’t think I’ll ever stop studying films, books, art, videos, games, or any other creative outlet. I love getting to know more about new disciplines, and staying up to date with new techniques always helped me a lot (in editing especially)
Effort
This might be a half flaw, but I can never put anything below my 90%. If I have to cut corners it means something with the project has gone terribly wrong, and even then I’ll work double as hard to ship it in its best form
My philosophy
My dream is to be a film director, and I intend to achieve it. A great advice that was given to me was to learn every craft that a film needs to exist, so I started learning. I am trying to know as much as possible of every facet of film and video making, so that I can have complete control over what I want to achieve with my pictures, be it a film or a commercial. The group of friends with which I make my projects is my great source of learning, without them I would be lost.
The tools
I have been editing videos since I was 15. Back then I was using my dad’s poor laptop barely launching Premiere Pro and editing videos from the family compact camera. I now am proficient with most of the Adobe Creative Suite and Davinci Resolve, I know my way around professional cameras and periferals (such as gimbals, sliders, cranes, etc) and I own some good audio equipment.
