Available to hire
Hello! I’m José Maria de Moura Pinheiro Frias Costa, a 2D animator, video editor, and graphic designer based in Lisbon. I’m a licensed filmmaker and even studied animation in Ireland so that I could perfect my craft, and even now I’m learning 3D animation with Blender.
Over the years I’ve contributed as a livestream director, animation dubbing, and graphic/video designer at studios such as Coyoteland, Quic Enterprises, Kid to Kid, CAMTIL, and Battlecoast.
I have more than 5 years of experience working with Adobe softwares and love projects that make me mix and use them for a better result.
I’m always eager to learn new tools, collaborate on creative projects, and bring concepts to life with energy and attention to detail.

I was entrusted to edit a video of the 40 year celebration of the CAMTIL summer camp. I was able to turn the vast footage captured over three days into an hour and a half movie. I’m glad to have been a part of that experience and firmly believe 40 years from now, future participants from the camp will still treasure the movie as those who were a part of it.
