Production & post · Maceió, Alagoas → worldwide
Films built from the first frame.
Direction, camera, color and sound under one roof. From the brief to the master — no hand-offs, no loose ends, one crew answering for the whole film.
Selected work
Films that argue for themselves
Advertising, institutional, tourism and event work — directed and shot by Dálio Marinho, graded and mixed in-house.
The post pipeline
Six passes, in this order
Nothing here is a menu of services. It is the route a project actually takes, and you can join it at any point.
-
00
Capture
When the footage does not exist yet. Direction of photography, camera and light, on location or on set.
Optional · DOP · Filming
-
01
Ingest
Every take watched, logged and marked. Before a single cut, we agree on what the film is trying to do.
Selects · Story spine · Consulting
-
02
Edit
Structure and rhythm. Where the tension builds, where a silence earns its place, where the viewer decides to stay.
DaVinci Resolve
-
03
Color
A look designed for the story, not a preset. Balanced shot to shot so the grade never announces itself.
Grading · Look design
-
04
Sound
Half of what an audience calls cinematic is what they hear. Design, mix and music that hold the frame up.

Deliver
One film, every frame it needs to live in: broadcast, cinema, and the vertical cuts that carry the campaign.
Masters · Versions · Captions
Method
The frame has to carry the argument.
The difference is strategy: knowing which frame makes someone stop scrolling, which silence builds tension, which cut earns the sale.
DAMESTRA puts cinematic technique next to brand intelligence. We do not hand over a file, we hand over a result — more views, stronger impressions, and stories people actually finish.

What they say after the screening
-
DAMESTRA understood our brand better than we did. The final video exceeded all our expectations in engagement and visual quality.
Anada LagesDirector, national agency

Professionalism from start to finish. The editing brought life to a project that seemed to have no way forward. Cinematic result, delivered on time.

Working with DAMESTRA was a turning point. They don't just edit videos — they build stories that people actually watch to the end.
