Visual development, product visualization and creative direction.
DAVID DUARTE
With 30 years of experience across 3D, animation, advertising and visual production, David works across different stages of a project – from developing an initial idea and exploring visual directions to producing the final image or animation.
EXPERIENCE
Over the years, his work has moved between 3D production, visual development, animation, creative direction and post-production, working with studios, production companies, agencies, broadcasters and independent projects.
His experience includes projects for brands such as Fiat, Nike, YSL, Paco Rabanne and In-N-Out, as well as television and branded content for History Channel, TV Escola and other productions.
He directed the animation structure for the APEX / Expo Milan 2015 pavilion and served as art director and post-production director for Investigadores da História, aired on History Channel. He also coordinated post-production for Cidade Dourada.
HOW I WORK
Working across creative and production environments has provided a broad understanding of how ideas move from concept to execution. This includes visual exploration, 3D production, animation, post-production and coordination between different disciplines.
For product-related projects, the focus is on visual and conceptual development – working with designers, engineers and other specialists when a project requires expertise beyond the visual scope.
TODAY
Today, the focus is on creating visual solutions for products, brands and campaigns – combining visual development, 3D visualization, animation and creative direction according to the needs of each project.
AI-assisted tools are part of the creative workflow when useful for ideation, storytelling and content development.
