Patrick Redding

I'm a Game Designer at the Ubisoft Montreal studio.

Before I joined Ubi in 2004, I was a creative director and digital film producer for an agency called Blast Radius, where my clients included game industry giants like Nintendo and EA, as well as media companies like Sony, Vivendi-Universal and USA Networks. I also logged hundreds of hours in editing suites staring at overcranked footage of Michael Jordan sailing through the air, which wasn't a bad way to make a living.

Through a combination of dumb luck and shameless opportunism, I managed to survive the entire dot-com thing and come out weirdly ahead of the curve. I immediately spent the entirety of that delta on a series of short film collaborations with a number of extremely talented folks on whose coat-tails I continue to ride periodically. I can see no good reason to discontinue this lopsided arrangement and these geniuses are all too kind-hearted to tell me to bugger off.
