Caio R.

🎬Senior Editor | Documentary, TV, Film & Premium Digital | Team-Led Production I am a narrative editor who believes that restraint earns the moment, with a deep, lifelong passion for crafting cinematic stories and creating premium audiovisual content, who cares about the craft as much as the deadline. With over six years of post production experience across narrative feature films, sports documentaries, daily news, and premium digital content, I build stories that hold together through narrative psychology, deliberate sound design, and true cinematic color grading. No corporate fluff and no artificial retention tricks. I know how to find the psychological core of a project before I even touch the timeline. 🧠 What I Bring to the Table I do not just put clips together; I shape the emotional journey. I am currently refining my craft at the Go To Editor studio under ACE nominated editor Sven Pape, where my daily routine involves editing scenes with real actors across comedy, documentary, and narrative films. I study actual feature film timelines and absorb the minds of industry masters like Roger Nygard, Greg Ng & Timothy A. Good. I apply classic storytelling frameworks to build genuine emotional payoffs, knowing exactly when to hold a silence and when to accelerate the pace. I also offer a complete finishing package. When you hire me, you get offline picture editing, immersive sound design, and high end cinematic color grading all in one unified workflow. 📂 My Expertise by Niche 🎬 Narrative and Feature Films: Lead picture editor on the independent experimental feature film PSYCHE, directed by Rafal Zielinski. I have extensive experience editing film scenes with real actors, specializing in character driven storytelling, comedic timing, and building psychological tension purely through subtle reactions and pacing. 🎞️ Documentary and Unscripted: Lead editor for international professional sports and expedition series. I prioritize restraint over spectacle, using natural audio and deliberate pacing to build heavy emotional weight and atmosphere. 🗣️ Lifestyle and Premium Digital: Edited highly engaging content for international creators, bringing true cinematic quality to YouTube and social media platforms. I focus on conversational pacing, protecting authentic human reactions rather than cutting around them, and vanishing into the rhythm of the story. 📰 Daily News and Fast Turnaround: Led a full department of editors and journalists for a massive daily news operation. I thrive under extreme pressure, manage strict tight deadlines, and build highly structured, repeatable workflows. 🛠️ Technical Toolset: 💻 Primary Suites: DaVinci Resolve Studio (my primary ecosystem for the entire finishing pipeline) and Adobe Creative Suite & currently studying Avid Media Composer to keep traditional film standards sharp. 🎨 Color and Finishing: Advanced color matching, LOG grading, node based cinematic grading, and mastering to strict broadcast specifications. 🎧 Audio and Graphics: Fairlight and Audacity for audio cleanup and mixing, paired with Fusion, After Effects, and Blender for motion graphics and 3D work. 🖌️ Visual Design: Photoshop, Affinity Suite, and Canva for brand aligned visual assets and high quality images. 🎵 Assets and Workflow: My workflow is built on extreme organization and seamless collaboration. I utilize deeply structured cloud folders for media management and proxy workflows to ensure smooth editing regardless of the project size or raw resolution. I provide fully licensed music and sound elements from premium libraries like Epidemic Sound and I have access to Frame io for accurate review cycles. In the fast moving digital world, execution is everything. If you are looking for an editor who brings complete cinematic finishing, strict organization, and a deep respect for the story, let us build something amazing together.
