Understand before producing.
The first conversation brings together the objective, audience and context. The format grows from what the communication needs to do.
AN INDEPENDENT PERSPECTIVE / SINCE 2013
Direction gives meaning to every choice. From the first conversation to the final frame.
Meet the director
Ulysses Paiva is a film director and founder of UPMD Filmes. His journey began in design, animation and editing, before his first camera and the company's formal establishment.
Today, that perspective connects creative decisions to what a brand needs to communicate. Preparing an interview, choosing a frame and building the rhythm of an edit are parts of the same direction.
OUR STORY
Around 2008, Ulysses was already experimenting with design, animation and editing existing material. Then came his first camera, equipment investments and a routine of learning and production, still with limited resources and an editing setup at home.
On January 16, 2013, UPMD was formally established to meet growing professional demand. The practical need to structure the business created room to develop an independent perspective on film, brands and perception.
TV commercials, campaigns, corporate videos and social media content. Formats evolve with the market; care for direction, images, editing and the message continues to guide every production.
THE UPMD PERSPECTIVE
A brand can have history, quality and a reliable operation without managing to show it. Our work brings the value it delivers closer to the way it is perceived.
Before filming, we understand the context and the film's role. Then the script, lighting, framing, editing and sound need to support that intention.
A commercial, an interview and a series serve different purposes. The approach follows each one, with clarity and personality.
The first conversation brings together the objective, audience and context. The format grows from what the communication needs to do.
People, settings, images and editing need to work in the same direction. Care shows in the whole.
The image should help a brand communicate its reliability, distinctive qualities and what it can deliver.
