    Cargo Sapiens × Thomson Reuters

    Institutional video for Cargo Sapiens, a logtech specialized in digital international freight quoting, made to run on a continuous loop on a screen at their booth during INTERMODAL, Brazil’s leading logistics trade fair. Since viewers enter the loop at any point, I structured the video to work without a fixed beginning or end: brand positioning, credentials, social proof through major corporate clients, and results — closing on a question that loops back into the opening.


    Mezan — Brand Video for a Design Studio

    Brand Video for a Design Studio

    Conceptual brand video for Estúdio Mezanino, a branding studio founded by three partners with complementary perspectives. Instead of stating this directly, I built the concept around the number three as a structural logic: the narrative evolves from point to line, from line to plane, and from plane to volume — visually reflecting how combining distinct viewpoints creates something greater than the sum of its parts.

    3D motion design with a conceptual color palette, structured in three acts (introduction / journey / resolution), closing on the brand reveal.
