Hi, I'm Aaron Richard. You might remember me as that guy from some website who goes by the name "Ralph The Magician."

I live and work in San Francisco. Sometimes I make things. I like radio & sailboats.

I use this to showcase some of the things I've worked on that I think others might find particularly interesting.

You can learn more about me, follow me on Twitter, or send me an email.

This video, entitled Pwning Noobs, is a short consumer insights video I made to inspire our creative team. This was specifically for some pitch work and the client was a major game publisher. I went in one weekend and cobbled this together in iMovie and Final Cut Express. It’s made entirely from other pieces of user-generated content. The goal was to create a video that shed some light on competitive gaming culture; PC gamers in particular.

The video inspired a good deal of the creative that made it into the deck, and the video itself was how we opened the pitch. The client loved it and actually thought that it was a piece of creative.
