There have been many times where I have been blissfully lost and totally enveloped in a Richtera production. His dramatic cinematic flair with underlying driving music selections will motivate you enough to run out of the smoke with the Hurricanes on game days. Follow @mitch_purdue is the creative force behind RichtEra Productions and I caught up with this Australian Hurricane fan for his take.

I am a big fan of your work Mitch. So why did you get into the world of recruiting and player videos? I’ve always been a big fan of sports editing. I originally started off with basketball at a young age, but being the Canes fan that I am, I eventually made the natural transition to football and recruiting.

How long have you been at it? I’ve been at it since 2008, started as a hobby whilst I was at school and it’s grown from there.

You probably have some crazy edit equipment then.  What is your setup? About a year ago I upgraded my set up. I originally did all my work on my MacBook.  But as things got more serious I invested in a custom built iMac that meets all my editing needs. As for my editing program I run Final Cut Pro.

How is it that a Miami fan is in Australia? Have you ever been attacked by a Kangaroo? Funny story and pretty unique. I was born in Australia and spent some time in the U.S. at a really young age before moving back to Australia to be with family. My dad being the Cane fan that he is brainwashed me at a young age and that was that. And no. I can’t say I’ve ever been attacked by a Kangaroo. Haha.

How do recruits usually hit you up for a video in a cycle? Any crazy stories regarding that? A few recruits a week hit me up. Things have certainly picked up since I made my first Jeff Thomas edit.  I dropped that at about 12 a.m. Australian time and woke up the next morning with over 40 messages from recruits. Pretty crazy stuff.

You probably get entrusted with a recruit’s commitment choice even before coaches then sometimes? That has happened a few times but of course I’ve always kept it to myself. Many editors get entrusted with that info and then it gets out. That’s something I will make sure will never happens with me.
