Bruno Donizati Sartori (Iturama, May 16, 1989), also known as Bruxo dos Vídeos (Wizard of Videos),[1][2][3] is a Brazilian journalist, comedian and influencer marketing considered one of the pioneers in creating satires through the deepfake technique in Brazil.[4][1][2] Sartori has gained notoriety with videos that satirize public entities such as Jair Bolsonaro, Sergio Moro, and Lula.[5][6][7][8]
Bruno Sartori was born in Iturama, in the state of Minas Gerais, on May 16, 1989.[9] At the age of four, he moved to the city of Unaí, where he spent his childhood. In this same city, he started working as a videomaker at the age of 15 with the production of humoristic content such as parodies and materials focused on the city's politics.[7][9] After finishing high school in Unaí, at the age of 19, he moved to São José do Rio Preto in search of higher education, where he has an incomplete degree in Journalism and Law.[10]
Sartori learned about the deepfake technology on the Reddit forum in late 2017 and subsequently added the technique to his work to improve the confection of the humorous content produced,[11] where he became popular for his satires involving national politics, which gained notoriety after his video "Chapolin Bolsonaro" went viral on the social networks[12] in May 2019.[9][1][2][13] In the video that had millions of views,[12] the president of Brazil, Jair Bolsonaro, appears characterized with the classic costume of the El Chapulín Colorado character and saying some wrong phrases that were said by the political entity in Dallas, in the United States.[3]
In 2020, he was quoted by The Economist newspaper because of another video that also went viral on social networks. In the video, Jair Bolsonaro appears singing the song I Will Always Love You, in Whitney Houston's version, where he serenades former US President Donald Trump (a satire alluding to the Brazilian president's excessive affection for Trump).[14]
In 2021, Sartori participated in the third edition of the Marte Festival alongside well-known names in the arts.[15]
