Meet Christian Richardson | Jim Orange’s Magical Time

We had the good fortune of connecting with Christian Richardson and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Christian, what’s one piece of conventional advice that you disagree with?
For my editors out there, one topic I heard frequently discussed is editing to music. I’ve heard “Never edit your film to the music you put, you’re making a film, not a music video.” While this is true in many regards, it ignores how closely the music and film are tied together. My process involves using music as the backbone, the two mediums are interconnected, leaving it impossible to successfully ignore one or the other. Far too often, umbrella terms are applied to creative mediums, when the whole point of being creative, is doing it a way that makes sense to yourself.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I’m sure I’m not alone in this as a creative, but the most rewarding thing to me is hearing how people can relate to something I created; All I’ve done my life is strive to express my feelings and emotions, so for others to take my messages and apply their own story is a dream come true. I’ve found the more and more I been personal and unique, the more people understand, it’s quite the oxymoron.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I want to thank everyone who has let me walk my path. It’s easy for many to see what I’m trying to do, but not understand my motives or actions, yet trusting and believe in my goals when they seem outlandish, gives me my confidence to succeed.
