JOÃO RICARDO
Editor/Film Editor/Finisher
Where it all began.
In 2011, I was selected for the Editing Workshop, Rede Globo's trainee program — a gateway to one of the most sophisticated post-production centers in Brazil.
Inside Projac, I experienced firsthand the inner workings of the country's largest television network: drama, entertainment, and journalism teams working at high speed, with the highest technical standards. It was there that I learned firsthand what it means to do real post-production—with the responsibility, pressure, and quality expected of a television network.
I left there with advanced proficiency in online and offline editing using AVID Media Composer, and with something no course teaches: the mindset of someone trained by the best in the business.
But the story with Globo didn't end there.
In 2015, I returned to the station as On Air Promotions Editor — responsible for editing, finishing, and color-correcting the channel's programming schedule promos. I worked on promos for dramas, series, sporting events, news, institutional videos, trailers, and documentaries, using the Pablo Rio and Quantel EQ post-production tools.
Creating a Globo promo is an exercise in precision and identity: every second needs to capture the essence of the program and communicate with the force that only Brazil's biggest broadcaster can have. A year editing this content leaves permanent marks on any editor's eye.
Globosat
"Sports in real time."
In 2014, I joined the post-production engineering team at Globosat Channels — one of the largest pay-TV channel complexes in Brazil, simultaneously operating SporTV, GNT, Multishow, and Canal Off.
My baptism of fire was covering the 2014 World Cup in Brazil as a video editor for SporTV's sports journalism department, working on the programs SporTV News and Bom Dia SporTV — live, with relentless deadlines and the whole world watching.
It was the ultimate school for those who needed to think fast, cut with precision, and deliver flawlessly.
Moonshot Pictures
"Entertainment with identity."
At Moonshot Pictures, I edited and finished productions for GNT—one of Brazil's most relevant lifestyle channels—with projects that combined lightness, rhythm, and impeccable finishing.
I was responsible for editing episodes of Páscoa Perfeita, the series Food Truck na Estrada 2, and the reality show Me Deixa Dançar — each with its own language, requiring narrative sensitivity and technical expertise to deliver the standard that the channel demands.
A partnership that proved that good entertainment starts in the editing room.
Soul Filmes
"Stories that live beyond the screen."
At Soul Filmes, a production company specializing in television series and documentaries, I edited and finished content for Canal Off — a channel focused on alternative sports, adventure, and lifestyle.
I worked on the shows Custo Zero, Homem Peixe, and Filhos do Hawai — productions with strong identities that demanded a keen eye for rhythm, atmosphere, and visual storytelling that went beyond the conventional.
It was an immersive experience in unconventional stories—and that's exactly the kind of challenge that motivates me the most.
