About Riotmaker
Riotmaker is a boutique commercial film and video production company established in Los Angeles in 2012. It specializes in high-end branded content, broadcast commercials, digital campaigns and product launch films. Its work spans consumer technology, telecommunications, retail, financial services, healthcare and music entertainment.
The studio combines live-action production with creative strategy, directing and post-production supervision. Its capabilities extend through offline and online editorial, visual effects, compositing, color grading, beauty retouching, sound design and finishing. This breadth supports commercial projects from creative development and filming through the preparation of finished campaign assets.
Commercial work
Riotmaker's portfolio includes campaigns for Ring, Amazon, Oracle NetSuite, AT&T, The Home Depot, Mutual of Omaha, Lowe's, GoodRx and Visine. Its Ring work includes broadcast holiday advertising, product campaigns for Always Home Cam and Video Doorbell Wired, and the commercial featuring Carrie Underwood titled Doorbell Season. Riotmaker TV also contributed post-production to a Ring commercial for Super Bowl LVII in 2023.
Beyond product advertising, the studio's reported work includes branded commercial spots for Oracle NetSuite, motion graphics and commercial projects for LendingTree, and commercial finishing for music videos. These projects reflect a practice spanning filmed advertising, product storytelling and post-production for entertainment content.
Production approach
Riotmaker operates with a small core team and a distributed network of freelance artists and technicians. Remote collaboration forms part of its production model, allowing editors, compositors and colorists in different regions to work together on demanding commercial material. Its Los Angeles production base supports executive management, client relationships and creative direction, while its distributed workflow provides access to collaborators across North America and Asia.
