Joao finished his Gnomon training just a few weeks ago and has been working in a commercial production company called Wolf & Crow (wolfandcrow.tv), as well as finishing post production on a short film that he directed during his last term at Gnomon and supervising the visual effects of a thesis short film based on Peter Pan called "East of Kensington," directed by Kellen Moore.

The projects in Joao’s reel are an attempt to dedicate his self mostly to group projects because it is where he believes the best results can be achieved. His main focus has always been to do effects because his interest is working with live action films, and he sees visual effects as the area of CGI closest to that.
