About

Video Editor & Filmmaker | Documentary Storytelling, Motion Graphics, Sound Design, Colour Grading

I’m Felipe Tortoro, a video editor and audiovisual director based in Florianópolis (SC), with a Film degree from UFSC and over 14 years of experience across editing, motion graphics, sound design, and post-production. I’m especially focused on educational, documentary, corporate, and digital content—turning raw footage into clear narratives with rhythm, pacing, and strong audiovisual finishing.

I also develop visual elements with After Effects and Premiere Pro, organize assets for smooth deliveries, and incorporate client feedback throughout the review process. I’ve written more than 160 video lesson scripts for educational series and, when appropriate, I integrate generative AI into visual development—always reviewing outputs to ensure they match the brief and maintain consistency.
