01Vertical-first content

Brand & Social

Scroll-stopping vertical content for brands that post every week. I write, shoot and cut, so ideas move from brief to feed fast.

Monthly retainer

How a retainer works

Start a retainer

8 credits a month

  • Reel2 credits
  • Carousel2 credits
  • Static1 credit

For example: 2 reels + 1 carousel + 2 statics.

  1. 01Plan

    We map the month: which reels, carousels and statics your 8 credits go to.

  2. 02Produce

    I shoot and edit. Each piece is delivered within 5 working days.

  3. 03Refine

    Up to 3 revisions per piece, until it’s right.

  4. 04Repeat

    Each month starts with a fresh plan.

02Generative production

AI Film

Directed like live action, generated with AI. Shot lists, look development and an edit that still feels human.

  • AI commercials & specs
  • Look development
  • Hybrid live-action + AI
  • Pitch visuals & animatics

How I direct machines

  1. 01Brief & treatment

    The idea, tone and references, written like a live-action deck.

  2. 02Shot list

    Every frame planned with lens, light and blocking, before anything is generated.

  3. 03Look development

    Characters, world and grade locked early, so shots stay consistent.

  4. 04Generate & direct

    Iterate shot by shot. Keep the takes, bin the uncanny ones.

  5. 05Edit, sound & finish

    Cut, score, sound design and grade. This is where it stops looking like AI.

05About
Rickey Lo directing on set
Directing on set for Pigeon (upcoming)

Trained on stage.Fluent on set.

I’m Rickey, a Singapore-based director and video producer. I trained in theatre at NAFA, and it still shapes how I work. I start with people and performance, and a story worth the viewer’s time.

Since 2023 I’ve worked across the whole pipeline. I write decks and scripts, run sets as an assistant director on national campaigns, and direct, shoot and edit content for brands like Carlsberg, Manulife and SimpleCivet. I’m also building AI-assisted workflows that let small teams make films that look big.

Hire me for one shoot, a monthly content retainer, or an AI film that has to feel real.
