Hire the Best Character Animators
in Portugal

I'm Margarida, a Portuguese 2D/3D animator who has a mild obsession for creating absurd scenes. I have been developing my skills in 2D and 3D animation, which allow me to bring characters to life through movement and storytelling. I try to present seamless and captivating experiences for the viewer through a keen eye for detail and strong understanding of timing and animation principles. This is my fifth year working in the industry, with an award-winning short film and multiple participations in animated web series. I have been perfecting not only my animation skills but also storytelling, rigging, modeling, sculpting, and texturing. I am constantly pushing myself to improve and expand my skillset, and I always strive to exceed expectations.

Most people think video editing is about cutting clips together. I don't. Great editing is about attention. It's about understanding what makes someone stop scrolling, stay engaged and remember your message. That's exactly what I help brands, businesses and creators achieve. I specialise in transforming ordinary footage into engaging visual stories through dynamic pacing, motion graphics, kinetic typography and purposeful storytelling. Every transition, animation and text element exists for one reason: to strengthen the message—not distract from it. My creative approach is also influenced by my background in Architecture. Studying architecture taught me to think beyond aesthetics: every element must have a purpose, every composition must guide the eye, and every visual decision should support the overall message. Today, I apply the same mindset to every video I create. Beyond video editing, I'm also a musician and voice-over artist. Music has given me a deep understanding of rhythm, timing and emotion, while voice-over allows me to help clients create complete communication pieces whenever a project benefits from both visuals and narration. Whether I'm editing a talking-head video, a promotional reel, a documentary-style piece or creating content for social media, my objective is always the same: **Create videos that people don't want to skip.** ### Services • Creative Video Editing • Instagram Reels, TikTok & YouTube Shorts • Motion Graphics • Kinetic Typography • Brand Storytelling • Corporate & Promotional Videos • Documentary-style Editing • European Portuguese Voice Over • AI-assisted creative workflows (used only when they genuinely improve quality and efficiency) ### Software • Adobe Premiere Pro • Adobe After Effects • Adobe Photoshop • Blender If you're looking for someone who simply edits videos, there are thousands of options.

I am a feature film editor and VFX supervisor who has led post-production on 6+ professionally funded European feature films, serving as both main editor and VFX lead. My work spans the full post-production pipeline — from structural edit refinement and performance shaping to complex compositing, matchmoving, cleanup, and final delivery-ready finishing. I combine narrative sensitivity with technical precision, ensuring that performances, pacing, and emotional clarity remain intact while invisible visual effects integrate seamlessly into the cinematic language of the film. Alongside long-form narrative projects, I collaborate on trailers, commercial campaigns, and high-end VFX-driven content where storytelling strength and polished execution are critical. My focus is always on delivering cohesive, production-ready results that elevate the overall project.
