I engaged Adriel on a number of video production projects. I was impressed with the quality of the end products, his meticulous process to plan and execute on the deliverables, a focus on customer service, and effective communication & coordination with multiple stakeholders. Adriel is not only creative and has superb technical (editing) skills, he is also a pleasant person to work with.

Worked with Adriel on some marketing videos and was incredibly impressed by his ability to understand our organization and mission and convert that into a visual story. He really made the process fun and the videos received great comments from our partners.

About Me
I'm Adriel Olmos, a senior video producer with 15 years of experience turning complex technology into stories people actually watch.
I spent a decade building the video operation at UC Berkeley's CITRIS and the Banatao Institute from scratch. No team, no infrastructure, just a mandate to make it work. I launched a $250K internal media service, produced content that helped raise over $750K in program funding, and acted as showrunner for the institute's YouTube channel across four UC campuses. A startup pitch video I produced helped secure $19.5M in Series A funding. A recruitment campaign crossed a million organic views.
Now I'm back in Los Angeles, working with brands and agencies who need someone that can own the full pipeline: creative development, scripting, production, post, and platform strategy. I'm equally comfortable in a client meeting and the edit bay, and I tend to do my best work when someone hands me a complex subject and says "make people care about this.
