SOUND DESIGN FOR FILMS

Sound design
Short Film
Directed by Rodrigo Amim and Gabriela Monerat
This short animation features almost no music, with sound design taking a leading role in shaping the tone of the story: loneliness and isolation caused by overuse of social media. Sparse ambiences, clean and delicate sounds, and detailed spatialization help create a melancholic mood. I also built layered synths and used my own vocalizations to create the otherworldly portal sounds.
Conselhos da Noite

Feature Film
Directed by José Oliveira
This film was 100% shot in Braga, Portugal, with the intention of capturing the city's culture and atmosphere around the main plot. The sound design was produced with that in mind, immersing the audience in the city, as it was another character in the film.

Feature Film
Directed by Marta Ramos and José Oliveira
Realism and fantasy, dreams and nightmares shape this film about war trauma and colonial violence. At times the sound is subtle. At others, it becomes visceral and unsettling, becoming an essential narrative tool in a film with minimal dialogue.
Nebulosa

Short Film
Directed by Maura Grimaldi
Through sound design, it’s possible to create sonic entities that, even when abstract, provide symbolic and poetic support to a narrative. This short film explores relationships between the mineral world, art, and the human condition. In different parts of the film, but specially in the end credits, I used processed layers of rock and water as an analogy for the erosion of memory, which is a theme also present in the film. This video is a brief making-of of the sound design for that section.
