Before

After

These frames are a before and after study in rotoscope, learning from Magno's Borgo CmiVFX training. Mocha's ability to provide good mattes for coloring and finishing to different 3rd party softwares is just the tip of the iceberg.

One may think "you could easily color correct it with power masks and hsl keyers", and in fact I could, but hey, what's the point in solving problems always in the same way? Doing what I already know will only put/lead me to the same skills level I already have/am.

The goal is to be always learning and improving.

Travelers

2011-07-21T20:54:00.009-03:00

This is an opening sequence for one of our newest products here at Ometz Group called "English for Travelers". This course purpose is to gear up travelers for trip-related situations in English-speaking countries.

The concept of the sequence flirts with the idea of showing a pinboard with plenty of photos from famous places, where being communicatively active in English is essential.

Once more a collaborative effort between us, MindsetFilms, and our in-house agency Yeah!.

Please head over to vimeo to watch it.

this is another intro I've done in conjunction with Thiago Matsunaga, from our in-house agency Yeah!.

the show deals with sporadic "patrols" the R&D Dep. will be doing this year at our schools. The point is that this occasional visits won't be as sheriff visits, but something much more fun and informative.

Please, head over to vimeo to see this sheriff in action.

Live Game

2011-04-14T23:30:00.005-03:00

We actually did it in only one day, since it was a short and fast project.

Please, head over to vimeo to see this in action.

Plant a seed

2011-01-19T20:40:00.004-02:00

The audio was made by Luis Cilho, my team matte at Mindset Films.

Modeling, texturing, rendering and compositing done in 24 hours.

The video can be seen on vimeo.

Board game

2010-09-11T15:41:00.004-03:00

so here are two of a series of four vignettes I've mentioned in the previous post. Though very simple I kind of like them.

Final's Board

2010-09-08T18:57:00.005-03:00

I've been busy doing a lot of different works, but among them are 4 animations for our inside competition, called HW Finals.

I'll post a compilation of this videos (or even one or two of them) in the next days.

DeltaT Frames

2010-07-26T21:31:00.005-03:00

here are a few frames from a one minute film I did last week.

with our RED camera, we shot an actor running in different locations through our city, and in post-production I had to place some fantasy elements that would grew up while he was running. There was a lot of (tedious) rotoscoping work, as well as camera matching, 3d modeling, texturing, lighting and compositing.

It was quite a challenge to finish this on time, doing all the stuff myself, but I was lucky to find some helpful guys on the way.

On air

2010-06-22T21:31:00.003-03:00

here we go, please read the previous post for more info.

Commercial

2010-06-17T22:09:00.004-03:00

just a few frames from a commercial I did last month.

I had to manage it entirely in AE in order to have an easily editable workflow at any stage of production.

Though I'm not an AE experienced user, I believe that I have ended up whit a fair result.

I'll up it in vimeo asap.

Poster

2010-06-03T15:29:00.006-03:00

Poster design for Nick Crivella, son of Eduardo Crivella.

Nick is part of the Element's team in Brazil - he is 13 years old yet.

Neue Contest

2010-05-23T20:17:00.006-03:00

this is my entry to the poster's contest from Neue, an online magazine, wich theme was Berlin.

since I've lived in Germany, when visiting Berlin I had the feeling that it was the complete opposite from Cologne.

Berlin is a tough city, harsh and sharp sometimes, but yet colorfull and full of vitality.

Intro

2010-05-11T07:11:00.004-03:00

this is an intro that me and Fred did a couple of months ago.
It's for english classes distributed via satellite.
The concept is to show the journey the student has through different foreign elements when learning the language, and to reinforce the ideia that this elements are built in the Wise4U dna.

Straight World

2010-05-04T11:34:00.001-03:00

this is my entry for the 5 Second Project, from GreyScaleGorilla, which theme was "Straight lines only".

concept:
what defines a straight line? two points, A and B.
but this rule isn't always so easy to follow, and even in a world of straight lines we may find an alternative path.

Bday Customer Card

2010-04-28T13:39:00.006-03:00

this is a proposal for a birthday customer's card I did last week.

the company's business is cargo transportation, so the concept here is already explicit.

Vignette #01

2010-04-17T15:28:00.005-03:00

Frames of a new vignette I did last week, or better saying, couple of days.

3D and compositing done all by myself. There's always room for improvement, but since I had to manage it entirely alone, I'm fairly happy with the result.

The art was made by Bruno Regalo, from our in-house agency Yeah!.

I'll post it on vimeo asap.

Intro WIP

2010-04-02T12:25:00.010-03:00

Fruit and Fit - Lisbon

2010-03-16T01:08:00.005-03:00

3D visualization

shot real products

I was asked to develop a 3D visualization for the brand new packs of Proalimentar's Fruit and Fit crackers, so the client could see in advance how the pack would looks like when produced. The art was designed by Ricardo Oliveira.

Zon - Lisbon

2010-02-09T02:07:00.008-02:00

Christmas Proposal for ZON Lisbon.

the campaign was made by Ricardo de Oliveira, who asked me to develop the 3D elements to support the concept he had proposed, as well as visualize a tree of boxes decorating the inside of a zon store. The proposal consists in many more materials, and this board aims to present my role in the process. You'll probably be able to see more of this in Ricardo's website soon.

Lost? II: Epic ending

2010-02-05T22:45:00.012-02:00

As I've received a really great feedback from my first "Lost?" video, and hearing my girlfriend idea, I've decided to put an ending point in this epic story.

Lost?

2010-01-31T14:31:00.012-02:00

still of my entry to the 5 Second Project, from GreyScaleGorilla.

the video was posted in vimeo, and can be seen here.

Clip Ometz Conference

2010-01-26T19:27:00.024-02:00

this was my first "real" job at MindsetFilms, done with Frederico Freire. We are both responsible for the MindsetFilm's 3D and PostProduction department.

These clip was shot at our studio, on a green screen, with our RED one camera. Fred did the direction, Eduardo Crivella did the lighting, Adriano Figueiredo and Fernando Navarrete operated the camera.

I was responsible of 3D tracking, as well as every aspect related to 3D process, since modeling, texturing, lighting, animation, till rendering management. Fred did the other tracks in 2D and the final compositing. We had a great help from Josemar Vargas, who gave his noble contribution at the beginning of the compositing phase.

It was a lot of work but, although we felt that if we had more time we could've done more, the result was very positive.

Kiddy Ride

2009-11-07T08:21:00.008-02:00

I did these trikes to the kiddy ride challenge, at c4dcafe.com

since I daily use Maya, it's important to not lose the grip of c4d.

Energy

2009-10-30T20:14:00.012-02:00

The 2d concept draw was made by Ricardo de Oliveira (link to his work), graphic designer from Lisbon. My job was to develop it in 3D, as well as others support elements of the print campaign. Above: the 2D concept, the 3D logo and one of the support elements, an energy battery.

Köln Design Preiss

2009-10-27T11:41:00.012-02:00

this is the poster I've designed to present my graduation project, made in partnership with Luciano dos Reis, to run for a prize at the Köln Design Preiss, held in Cologne, Germany. Our project was nominee at the international category, dedicated to the foreign partner universities of KISD. Unfortunatelly, we haven't got a prize, but our project is part of the exhibit at the Musem of Arts of Cologne.

Actually the poster was printed in 2A0 size and we also have a 1:1 prototype there. This is just a simple way to present it here.

2009-10-26T00:46:00.007-02:00

This toy is part of a collection of toys designed by Iara Zeferino, from Lisbon. My job was to turn the concept of a 2D character to a 3D one.

Personal ID

2009-10-21T23:35:00.012-02:00

Personal ID developed in partnership with Ana Clara Picolo.

concept: The idea was to develop a personal ID that should be ladylike, that could perspire softness, stability, energy and truth.

Following the design principles explained at the concept, we designed a ribbon, a women symbol of hope, playing with Ana's name, joining them. The color palette was worked having in mind the colours that could rise the feelings we wish to evoke, based on esteemed colour theories.
