JOÃO RICARDO

Reality TV with sabotage — and lots of learning.

  At SBT, I was the editor of the reality show Mestres da Sabotagem (Masters of Sabotage) — the first season of a production broadcast simultaneously by SBT and Discovery Brasil, two channels with completely different audiences and technical standards.
A reality competition has its own unique dynamic: many hours of raw footage, characters that need to be developed throughout the episodes, tension that needs to be created in the editing room. It's one of the formats that demands the most narrative skill and technical patience from an editor.
An experience that greatly enriched the repertoire of formats and languages that I carry with me to this day.
