Craft Visual Media

Concept · Production · Post-production

Audiovisual solutions for live shows, music and tourism

Stages and festivals, bands and music videos, travel and documentary. Every project is handled end to end, from cinematography through to colour and sound.

Work

Recent productions

Each film is shown in its original format, from vertical to ultra-wide. The ratio is a directorial decision, not an accident of export.

Stages and Festivals

Festivals, concerts and club nights. The set, the crowd and the light exactly as they were.

Bands and Music Videos

Performances and music videos, cut from the track rather than over it.

Travel and Documentary

Travel documentary: longer pieces, edited without haste.

Archive

Early work

Pieces documenting the start of the path and the learning of the craft. They are here because they are part of the story, not because they stand for the work of today.

Services

The three lines of work

Stages and Festivals

Festivals, DJ sets, club nights and galas. The night is filmed as it happened and delivered as a recap promoters use to sell the next edition.

  • 60 to 120 second recap
  • Vertical cuts for Instagram and TikTok
  • High-resolution stills for posters and press

Bands and Music Videos

From the live performance to the concept video. The music is the starting point: the edit follows the arrangement, not the other way round.

  • Multi-camera coverage of the performance
  • Synced to the studio mix
  • Colour grade with a look agreed in advance

Travel and Documentary

Journeys, places and people. Longer pieces with room to breathe, where the edit decides the result.

  • 2 to 6 minute piece
  • Aerial imagery where the location allows
  • Subtitles in Portuguese and English

Method

From first contact to delivery

Five stages, always in the same order. Next to each one is how long it usually takes, so the delivery date is clear from the outset.

  1. Briefing

    30 minutes

    The objective, the audience and the context the piece will be seen in. The meeting ends with a plan and a price.

    • A call or a meeting on location, whichever is more practical
    • An itemised quote, at no cost and with no commitment
  2. Preparation

    1 to 2 weeks before

    Dates, locations, permits, equipment and the look of the piece. All settled before any camera reaches the location.

    • Locations, dates and equipment confirmed in writing
    • Airspace clearances handled before the day of the shoot
  3. Shoot

    production day

    Camera, stabiliser, light and aerial imagery, according to the agreed plan.

    • Drone operator registered with ANAC, with liability insurance
    • Travel within the North at no cost, elsewhere at a fixed price
  4. Edit

    1 to 3 weeks

    Cut, colour and sound. The most demanding stage of the process, and the one that determines the final result.

    • A first cut sent for approval before colour and sound
    • On music pieces, synced to the official studio version
  5. Delivery

    2 revisions included

    Files in the formats the piece will be published in: screen, Instagram, YouTube or projection.

    • Short social cuts from the same shoot
    • Vertical or square from the same master, where the platform asks for it

Base

Ovar, northern Portugal

Work is concentrated in the north: Porto, Aveiro, Braga and the Douro. Travel anywhere in the country is available, and abroad whenever the project warrants it.

Travel within the north is free of charge. Beyond that area, the journey is quoted at a fixed price, with no adjustments at the end. If the shoot requires an overnight stay, accommodation is added to the expenses, quoted upfront like everything else.

Drone operator registered with ANAC, the Portuguese civil aviation authority, and covered by civil liability insurance. Aerial work is planned with airspace clearance settled before the day of the shoot.
