Broadcasting isn't for everyone.

Unless you're willing to:

- Work weekends and holidays
- Handle stress and pressure every single show
- Know your call time, but never your wrap time
- Spend long stretches away from family

If you can accept all that, here's what you'll find:

Colleagues who become friends.
Friends who become family.

The chance to see places most people only dream of.

A career full of stories worth telling.

A sense of purpose when the red light goes on.

The question isn't whether broadcasting is hard.

It's whether the hard is worth it to you.

For me? After 26 years?

It still is.

Caio works across the board on design, from developing concepts to 2D and 3D logos and animations, print, style guides, interactive presentations, compositing, etc.  

Here is the link to his Vimeo reel so you can see some of his work:

He and I worked together on interactive branding, countless promos, image spots, upfront reels…I just took a stroll down memory lane watching his rvideo  ;-)  Fast forward to today, last year Caio did the packaging for the MTV Play series for Ridiculous MTV S2 and is working right now with me on the packaging for the Nick Play series for Vikki RPM.
