Screenwriter of Finding Nicole, a feature drama based on a true story that received a limited theatrical release. I adapted the story for the screen with a focus on character, emotional authenticity, and adapting real-life events into a compelling feature narrative.
A product can be powerful and still be difficult to understand.
For this concept, the product had a lot going on.
My job was to simplify it without making the product feel simple.
I focused on:
→ finding the core value
→ removing unnecessary information
→ creating a clear visual story
→ using motion to make the product instantly understandable
Here are 4 frames from the concept.
I make product, launch and feature videos for SaaS and AI companies — turning complex products into simple, exciting stories.
Water, texture, and light, reframed as a moment of reflection. This piece was about finding rhythm in stillness letting color grading and sound carry the emotion instead of cuts.
I'm Victor Rodrigues, a video editor specialized in cinematic storytelling, color grading, sound design, and mood-driven visuals. I work with brands, creators, and agencies worldwide, turning raw footage into something people actually feel.
Currently open to new projects let's create something together. 🎬
Blood and Magic is a dark fantasy series about Aurelia, a young woman searching for answers about her past in a kingdom where magic is feared, controlled and exploited.
After losing her family to a mysterious soulless army, Aurelia has spent years trying to understand what happened and whether the clues left behind are connected to the kingdom’s hidden magic.
In the pilot, Aurelia secretly leaves the city and meets her companions, Jack and Theo, to continue their investigation. Using a mysterious magical stone, they enter a hidden, buried library-temple where they hope to finally connect the fragments of a mystery they have been chasing for years.
But the deeper Aurelia searches, the more she begins to question whether the answers she has been looking for are actually about magic at all.
Where I would take the series next
Beyond the pilot, Aurelia’s search would expand from a personal mystery into a much larger conflict surrounding the kingdom’s relationship with magic.
The buried library-temple would become a key location for the trio as they uncover fragments of forgotten history, forbidden magic, and the truth behind the soulless army. At the same time, Aurelia would begin to realize that her mother may have left her a clue for a reason she never understood.
Jack’s hidden magical abilities and Theo’s position within the royal family would create their own complications, forcing the three friends to decide how much they are willing to risk for the truth.
As the story continues, Aurelia would have to confront the possibility that her family’s disappearance, the kingdom’s exploitation of magic, and her mother’s final clue are all connected and that finding the truth could put all three of them in danger.
A little note from me
Aurelia is a character I have imagined and carried with me since I was young. Blood and Magic is, in many ways, a story I have been growing alongside for years, so getting the chance to finally bring Aurelia and her world to life has been especially meaningful to me.
Thank you for creating this challenge and for giving creators the opportunity to build something from scratch in Cantina. I had so much fun bringing a character I have known for so long into a new medium, and I learned a lot throughout the process.
