Richard Duke(XVIII)
- Sound Department
- Executive
Richard began his career as a Sound Designer and Music Engineer. He loved post-production and spent many years recording foley, ADR, music scoring, and mixing films. He saw the value in sharing content between picture editors, sound editors, VFX editors, and graphic artist, so began to focus on shared storage and asset management tools to enhance the post-production processes and ease the time it takes to work across the various teams. Richard built one of the earliest digital archives, managing many PB's of data.
Today, Richard leads the global cloud effort for Avid Technology as the Chief Cloud Architect. In this role, he works with the major studios and media companies in helping them cloudify their workflows and ease the production and post-productions processes. His work was especially influential as the global pandemic of 2020 required new ways of remote working, editing, and collaboration. His work in bringing high-performance editorial tools to the cloud enabled companies in keeping their editors engaged and working remotely immediately.
