This post is dedicated to my friends from abroad:

Most of you should remember that I also work as an actor for TV commercials. And I’ve recently found 4 of these over the internet. The Mastercard ad is still running here in Brazil. Here they are:

1)Mastercard commercial
2)Sprite commercial:
(click on “Alex Miranda”, one of the directors, than look for “Sprite: Handsome Guy” under the video window)
3) Nova Schin beer: search in Rodolfo Vanni’s reel and click on “Schincariol – Nova Schin” (the frame with the bald waiters)
4) Fox car: the same path above, but look for “Fox – Festa”

5) And there’s a music video that I directed with my good friend Rafael Nasser. The artist is Nuno Mindelis and the song is “Tenho Medo”. Watch it below. It was shot with the JVC GY-HD100. Nice camera…

I hope you all enjoy!!

Best,
Rodrigo
