Ricardo is an extremely capable, smart and fast professional. He used free and open source software since the beginning. He dominates the entire process of pre, production and post-audiovisual production. Extremely generous, with a unique ability to adapt to tany situation. He is a great illustrator and animator, with deep knowledge in creating games and applications.
Rico is a modern professional, an artist who knows technology and can move through all audiovisual languages. In addition to all his technical and artistic skills, Rico is a person attuned to latent social issues in the contemporary world. He works through his films and games to build a better world for young people and children.
I found Ricardo looking for professionals who worked with Blender, a free animation software. We did the first job and, since then, in every audiovisual project I want to involve Ricardo. In addition to being extremely competent, he has a unique kindness and generosity, which for me is fundamental in professional partnerships!
Ricardo Graça worked with me on several occasions. Large, medium and important projects. He is super professional, creative, fast, with a great command of tools and market innovations. Both as creator and editor, he has style and knows how to work independently or in groups. And as a teacher, I would say that he is a student of the brand new communication. I strongly recommend, knows how to meet deadlines and tasks and respect opinions with assertiveness.
Ricardo masters theoretical references and concepts that guide and underpin his practical work, as well as strengthens ideas for sharing and accessing technological tools.
As an educator, Ricardo demonstrates clarity in his explanations and care with the apprehension of knowledge by students and always seeks to innovate and understand market trends and social demands. And as a co-worker, Ricardo is always willing to help, has empathy and active listening in order to offer help and constructive advice.
Rico brings together all the technical qualities pertinent to a “professional” and still adds to these qualities an extraordinary ability to interpret what the other part really needs from his workforce. It offers answers to demands in order to ensure a better result for our projects. He is much more than a simple professional: he is an accomplice in the pursuit of the quality of what we do!
