[ Ivan Kanter Goldman]

It all started in 1998 when I began studying social communication at the Federal University of Rio De Janeiro (UFRJ). I needed extra college credits for my major and money to pay the rent when I heard that internships were available at the TUPI FM Radio Station. So I started hosting a weekly 1-hour program of classic and indie rock at the university radio station.

In June 2000, I decided to apply for another internship program at REDE GLOBO, the biggest TV channel in Brazil. I was selected and after 12 months they hired
me as a video switcher operator in the journalism division. I had the chance to manage the Switcher/Switchboard for events such as Rio de Janeiro’s Carnival, Rock in Rio II, Soccer Games and Daily News.

​

While still at Rede Globo, I became interested in editing as well as special effects, so I decided to study post-production on my own. An Avid-DS and
its manual were my starting point. I spent hours trying to make masks, to understand the color corrector, among other ways to modify images.

Besides editing, I wanted to recreate the frame.

This new passion gave me the opportunity to work both in drama, with directors
such as Luis Fernando de Carvalho on the TV serie “Hoje é Dia de Maria,” as
well as in advertising for national and international campaigns of clients such as Toyota, Pepsi, VW, Ford, Coca-Cola, Smirnoff, Budweiser, Listerine, Gillette, Mitsubishi, Heineken, Johny Walker, Fiat and GM. .
