Hello, friends! My name is Richard, a video creative in the San Francisco bay area. With over a decade of experience in editorial and video production, my expertise is in creating content for the games and entertainment industry. But what I’m most proud of is building efficient, motivated teams that produce high-impact content.

In my reel is a collection of my favorite moments all filmed by me. And in case you want to know my roles in the demo reel, here is a list detailing my responsibilities.

A memorable project with deep roots in my childhood, this video is about Street Fighter 2's iconic special attack: the Hadouken. This project required numerous people across several departments, with support from editorial, design, and influencers from other brands. And I’m proud of the exceptional details throughout the video. In short, the elevation paid off. The audience loved the video for its production value and its integration with the fighting game community.
