When in doubt, remember why you started!
For me it was the love for animation but also the decision to stop the fear and just try. With the risk of failing.
5 years later, the path of motion design and animation is still the best choice I could have made.
I'm grateful to have found the Contra community, to be able to share and get inspired, meet new people and be able to do work that I truly love.

AI Rare Book Influencer — Medieval Book of Hours | Generative Video
A 60-second AI-generated reel featuring a digital rare book influencer avatar presenting medieval illuminated manuscripts — produced entirely without physical access to original artefacts, sets, or actors.
The pipeline combined Nano Banana for avatar generation, Veo 3 and Kling 3.0 for cinematic scene synthesis, and Infinite Talk video-to-video lipsync for realistic speech synchronisation. The result is an immersive, presenter-led short that places a digital host in conversation with one of history's most visually rich manuscript traditions.
A proof of concept for AI-driven cultural heritage content at scale.

Hi again, everyone! 👋 I’m so happy to share another one of my projects — the branding for Archie Tattoo Studio | House of Art. ✨
A unique space in Vila Real that blends tattoo, music, ceramics, and art under one creative roof. 🎨🪶
The concept embraces a soft boho aesthetic, earthy greens and browns, and a touch of sun symbolism — reflecting the studio’s warm, soulful and artistic energy. ☀️
Hope you enjoy it :)

Does frame by frame animation as a skill still fit in the world as we know it today with everything all about AI?
I did this short animation back in 2023 inspired by the illustration of this house made by Ana Vieira, a Portuguese artist who's work has a great balance between simplicity and warmth.
This was done just before AI started to get more attention. And I'm still left wondering.
