About me

Hello,

My name is Gil and I've wanted to work with video ever since highschool. Altough I initially studied Informatics, what I ever really wanted was Audiovisual, which has always fascinated me. I decided to start over in an area that actually made me happy and so video quickly grew to become a passion of mine. I am the type of person who loves challenges and I am always eager to learn something new and improve myself. Being a freelancer is something that I always wanted, to be able to balance work and pleasure.

I have an academic background focused in Audiovisual, being an enthusiast for video. In 2011 I finished a professional degree in Audiovisual in Mariana Seixas Professional School in Viseu, and in 2015 I finished my Barchelor in Comunication and Multimedia in University of Trás-os-Montes and Alto Douro in Vila Real where I got a merit diploma.

After my degree I did freelance for 3 years and I also created a Kickstarter project with ceramics. The project was successly founded and a new challenge to create my own brand - Preto Ceramic - was born. For the past two years I've been involved in all the logistics of creating a company and a brand, including website design, seo management, product photography, social media management and client assistance. All of this allowed me to built upon my flexibility to deal with problems while maintaing focus.

Notwithstanding, I never lost my joy for video. Currently I desire to refocus and dedicate myself to my true passion. Besides my ability to capture and edit footage, all my past academic and professional experience helped me build skills in photography and graphic design as well. I consider myself a valuable team member with excellent interpersonal and organizational skills. I am highly resourceful and have great attention to detail whilst working both practically and theoretically.
