Hello, I am Geraldo Sampaio, a storyboard artist from Brazil.
More than five years ago, I just knew I loved stories and wanted to figure out how to tell them visually. So I started learning: animation, 3D, photography, and finally, storyboards and animatics. It wasn't easy at first. I worked on small projects, made mistakes, learned from them.
I found my way into animation, games, and advertising. I did remote work with studios in Spain, Germany, France, and Canada. With time, I formed part of some projects that I'm really proud of. The series Ghosts of Ruin, feature films like Flamingo Flamenco and Nimuendaju selected for Annecy 2025, numerous short films, and mobile game campaigns. Through all of these experiences, I forced myself to think differently, solving problems that I hadn't confronted before.
Now, I work a lot in Blender, mainly with projects that require dynamic camera movements or an abundance of action. Storyboard Pro and Photoshop too, depending on what makes the most sense for telling the story. It's about the tools, but it's way more about knowing what the director or creative team is trying to say. I love feedback, as it helps me grow as an artist. I believe in cinema as a collaborative work without ego.
Otherwise, when I am not working for a client, I am usually working on my own things: directing, photography, experimenting. That is where I test ideas and keep learning. That keeps me honest about what I actually know and what I still need to figure out.
My ultimate goal? To create stories that really linger inside, seem real, provoke thought, and evoke unexpected emotions.
If you are producing any project and seeking a collaborator who cares as much about the story, team, and audience as about the visuals, let's connect:
