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.
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.

This was a fun project completed in two days. The video team entered an internal contest to create a sizzle showcasing GameSpot’s diverse editorial and video content. As the other video producers assembled their cut, I took this as a challenge to create something beyond a standard highlight reel. In my head was a bouncy, jubilant idea outlining my thoughts of GameSpot’s core values. The production came fairly quickly, but the creative direction and motif took awhile. Thank goodness for planning, because the post-production was completed in a single day—and night. In the end, my submission won the contest, beating out eight other video producers.
