Portrait of Eliel Guimarães
Eliel Guimarães · São Paulo

I light, shade and composite CG so it sits in the plate. Fifteen years across traditional TV, digital campaigns, technical explainers, 3D short films, feature films and social impact projects.

That range of languages and audiences taught me how each kind of content works, what the client actually needs, and the most efficient production path to get there.

I have led pre and post production teams, run creative processes with agencies and direct clients from brief to final approval, and carried long, complex projects. Track record with agencies like DM9, Publicis and BTC, platforms like HBO, Netflix and Superside, and brands and NGOs that demand quality and strategy.

Advanced English, used daily on international projects. An operational mindset focused on efficiency and results, and a habit of spotting and developing talent inside teams.
