Umberto's Biography

          07768 473602
humbertofilms@hotmail.com   Brazilian and British passports

I am a camera operator  (15 years experience)  and
a Final Cut editor with my own equipment for shooting
and editing.  

I have worked here in London for several international broadcasters such as:  Associated Press, CNBC, CNN and TVs from France, Spain, Italy, Norway, Finland, Mexico, Brazil, Colombia and others, 
working in English, French, Spanish and Portuguese.

My camera is an ENG camera,  card based. It is a  JVC HM 700,  with a beautiful Canon HD lens, that shoots HD and standard.

Experienced  with Panasonic P2 , Sony HDCAM,  XDCAM, Betacam and DVCAM cameras.  I have  shot news, documentaries and corporate, using my camera or  the  broadcaster's cameras.  

I have also directed a few TV documentaries and videos for
the web. As a director, I was responsible for all production aspects,  from shooting and editing  to output to dvds, that I can author,  or internet. 

I am  Brazilian, have a British passport  and live in London since 2002. I love London and its public  libraries,  parks,  old buildings and pubs by the river. But, most of all, I love my job.
