Hi, I’m Richard Giannelli, a creative and detail‑oriented video editor with extensive experience in broadcast and social media content. I’m proficient in Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, Final Cut, DaVinci Resolve, and AVID Media Composer, and I excel at crafting engaging promos and social videos for TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube Shorts. I’m eager to bring my expertise in visual storytelling and social media content creation to Perfect Game.
I’m also an ex-baseball player who follows the sport religiously and’m an avid Red Sox diehard living in Los Angeles. My second team is the LA Dodgers, back‑to‑back champs, of course.
