Videography
Our passion is videography. A good video informs, a great video inspires, but our videos just aim at uplifting your spirit! True, sometimes people have to be informed about what goes wrong in our world, but fear is a very bad advisor. That's why we believe that in order to encourage people to make a change they have to understand that creating a better world will make them happier too! So we try to show solutions instead of obstacles, inspire people to see the bright side of each problem or just generate some good vibes...
In the end, it's all about the vibe.
“Happiness is not a matter of intensity but of balance, order, rhythm and harmony.”
We were just amazed by the very talented and super young Aisha performing her instant classic hit ‘Gelados no Inverno’. Produced by her equally talented father Papajuju and shot in the ‘gettho’ of Aljezur, Portugal, this song is for all children we experienced this profound injustice of not having the right to ice-cream in winter…
Mysterious, mesmerizing, confusing, enigmatic...we had many strange dreams after editing this amazing performance of Ana Roots, supported by her sister Mariana on the frame drum.
A poetic hunger for more faces in these pandemic times expressed through a hauntingly beautiful dance...
Sometimes everything can fall into the right place at the right moment. This is exactly how we felt when shooting this video for Abdu & Moreno’s debut song ‘The River’, revealing the stunning, soulful voice of Zheka! The song, the rhythm, the funky baseline, the setting and the ever surprising dance moves of Ana Root…it just clicked. Enjoy this mesmerizing yet very groovy tune and dance away…
Poetry meeting music meeting stories.
The new album of Portuguese artist Mariana Root promises to be another treat for the senses ànd the soul. Dive into her mesmerizing world of acoustic guitars, soothing yet powerful voices and intimate lyrics. All this against the beautiful background of pittoresk Aljezur.

Clean country air & stunning views in every direction, Sernadinha is the perfect place to unwind & soak up the warm Alentejo sun. This is ecotourism at its best: looking out on a beautiful herd of horses, picking fruits from the orchard, fresh veggies from the garden and eggs from the chicken coop, it is easy to adapt to the pace of nature here. Hosted by the gentle spirited Antje and her husband Rainer, this is a place where you can truly remember the important things in life.

Juntos pelo Sudoeste" (meaning Together for the Southwest) is a non-political citizens movement of Odemira and Aljezur, Portugal, seriously concerned with the current situation of the “Parque Natural do Sudoeste Alentejano e Costa Vicentina”,taking into consideration the massive and uncontrolled advance of the agricultural industry, namely the crops covered by kilometers of plastic tunnels and green houses right by the delicate cliffs and the Atlantic Ocean, following a model of agricultural practices in intensive regime that jeopardizes the integrity of the territory.
With this video we made for the the organization, Juntos Pelo Sudoeste hopes to raise more awareness about these devastating practices and to demand from the Portuguese state to reconsider their recent decision to allow to triple the plastic covered area that already exists in the park and also authorises the installation of containers inside agricultural farms to accommodate immigrant workers up to a value of about 36 000 people, in a region that has a population and is sized for 26 000 inhabitants!

Christy moved to Portugal one year ago to create the project of her dreams: a place for families and groups to gather in the midst of nature, enjoy the magical surroundings and each others' company - or, like she says - to just be.
Ecoglamping 'the Mermaid Retreat' is still a work in progress, but this video gives you already a glimpse of the beautiful intentions of its host and her amazing land!
SHOWREEL 2020
This is Human/Nature.
Less apocalyptic than 2020, almost as crazy.

FREDY VELASQUEZ - AQUA
Maybe it's a coincidence, but this is the second time this year we were asked to make a video for an artist that wants to raise awareness about the preciousness of water! Colombian musician Fredy Velasquez, from the former band Putumayo, reminds us in this solo project that water is not just a crucial element on our planet, it is life itself...Nos somos aqua.
PIZZA DOMINGO
When you accidentally drive by it's sleepy town, you would never imagine that Sao Luis, in South-West Portugal, is a place where people from all around the world go to chase their dreams. Yet this is exactly what happened to the beautiful couple Lior & Anat and their dream to open their own pizzeria...
We are very happy to have had the opportunity to capture their honest and heartfelt spirit on camera. Hopefully more portraits from this amazing melting pot to come soon!
MARIANA ROOT - E QUEM TOCA O TAMBOR A FINAL?

WILDFIRES PORTUGAL
One of the biggest wildfires in the history of Portugal on October 15th made 45 victims and left hundreds homeless. This year's massive drought combined with thousands of hectares of eucalyptus and pine monocultures formed a highly inflammable cocktail that burned down an area of 400.000 hectares in just one night. This video was made for the people of Benfeita, a valley in Central Portugal where 22 families lost their home and land. Their spirit however remained untouched. They are not thinking of leaving but are more determined and positive then ever to rebuild their homes, restore their lands and reforest the whole area into a green, biodiverse and vibrant community! The good news is that you can help them by supporting one of their many crowdfundings!
