My name is Renan Rocha.
I'm 26 years old and I have a bachelor's degree in Animation from the Federal University of Santa Catarina. I currently live in Florianópolis, Brazil.
I've been connected to arts, creation and communication since I was a kid, what led me to enroll in a technician course in Civil Construction at the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Tecnology of Santa Catarina (IFSC) in 2012. After graduating high school I enrolled in an undergraduate course for Theater at the State University of Santa Catarina (UDESC) in 2017, of which I only took an year because I realized I actually wanted to study animation.
While studying animation I got the chance to work on both 2D and 3D animation projects, as well as stop-motion, illustration and screenwriting, but ended up understanding my passion was actually at video editing, mostly for knowing how much of a powerfull storytelling tool it could be.
After a few years of studying and understanding I wanted to work with video editing, I took a moment to focus on working and developing that skill in a professional setting. That moment was supposed to last six months, but it ended up lasting two and a half years, during which I worked first as an intern in video editing and design, then as freelancer until I took a full time job as video editor in Dia Estúdio, a company set in São Paulo, Brazil. After realizing I needed more freetime to be able to graduate college, I left my last job and started working as a freelance video editor.
In 2024 I started working with Kāsper, a British company. There I got to work with video ads and social content, something I still hadn't worked with before.
I'm currently looking for a full time job mostly as video editor, but I also have the competences to work with motion design.
