About Christian Reid

Com 17 anos de atuação no mercado de produção audiovisual, hoje sou sócio e diretor criativo da Blackstone Media Production Co., uma produtora de conteúdo digital que atende variados tipos de produção, mas a 'especialidade da casa' são as produções voltadas ao mercado automotivo e motorsports.Além do gerenciamento geral de times e projetos, da pré-produção até o produto final, e fazer a direção criativa na maioria dos nossos cases, minhas funções técnicas têm destaque na produção e pós-produção.Na produção, graças ao expertise na área automotiva, hoje trabalhamos uma gama de profissionais e serviços de terceiros que nos atendem nas mais diversas demandas específicas de cada projeto, como camera-car para diferentes tipos de captação (off-road, on-road, performance, rua, estrada), drones de todos tamanhos e capacidades (racer, para câmeras pequenas, para câmeras grandes, com um piloto ou mais), pilotagem esportiva e técnica dos veículos, manejamento e armazenamento dos veículos da produção, e scout de locações.Na área de pós-produção, que é a fundação da minha carreira pela minha formação, tenho bastante experiência na parte técnica e visual do material, desde o ingest e conform, até edição, motion graphics e color grading, porém nos últimos anos assumi mais as funções de coordenação e gerenciamento nos projetos da Blackstone, com participação reduzida nas funções da pós. Para as especificidades de VFX, composição, sound design, mixagem, 3D e outros, também trabalho com vários parceiros que podem ser anexados ao projeto, conforme cada demanda.Abaixo, seguem algumas das empresas que temos/tivemos como clientes ou nos envolvemos em projetos diretamente ou por intermédio de agências como CuboCC, Ogilvy, NewContent e FutureBrand, estão:Mitsubishi, North Face, SectorOne, Red Bull, Banco do Brasil, Nescau, Nespresso, Fox, National Geographic, Jacobsen Arquitetura, Shopping Tamboré, Shopping Pátio Higienópolis, Porsche Cup Brasil, Stock Car Brasil, Audi, BMW, BMW Motorrad, MINI, Autostar, Jaguar, Land Rover, Hyundai, Kia, Yokohama, Pirelli, Zurich Seguros e FlatOut Brasil.

    Blackstone is my second shot at having my own company and brand to represent my work.Acting as creative director, Blackstone is a digital content production studio with a 'house specialty' being automotive and motorsports content, that was born from a need and a dream, because of my personal interest in the area.I created it almost a decade ago with a friend and colleague of similar interests, and we have worked together up until the end of 2022.We have had a lot of great projects in these past 9 years, ranging from big names on the auto industry to very little companies like a two-people ceramic studio.The experience I brought into Blackstone have surely been refined, and I gathered so much more along the years. Apart from the obvious creative and production roles, everything that has been learned like client dealing and negotiating, financial administration and planning, external team assembling and hiring, project management, even performance driving and creating proprietary camera stabilization systems for car mounting. It has been the biggest endeavor of my life.

The post-production team was composed of 2 of them, not considering myself.As a small business, created by acquaintances, of course that my roles were not limited to post-production, because they needed help in every part of the process. From briefing meetings with clients to budget planning, it was a very good place to learn more about how to assemble and develop a job from start to finish.

We worked for many kinds of companies, from banks, to tech, but most of it was corporative content.We have grown to a team of 4 hired professionals in a very short time, but the lack of experience in administration forced us to cease activities within less than 2 years of existence. Although, the experience gathered in this short period was very valuable. I had to deal with team hiring and management, project planning, producing, creative process from script to delivery, and administration.
