About.

Chi-Quynh Nguyen | Video Producer & Editor

Dallas-based producer and editor blending cinematic craft with speed. Directing brand films, technical product guides, and generative AI video workflows for national brands.

01. The Origin & Independence

Produced by Chi started because I wanted to build something real on my own terms. I spent years in the corporate world, but I never wanted my ceiling to be decided by someone else. I wanted to take complete ownership of my time, my direction, and the results I deliver. When you work for yourself, there are no shortcuts and nowhere to pass the blame. Every project is personal, and I put everything I have into making it perfect.

Long before stepping onto commercial sets, I spent years behind the lens as ChiKwonPhoto, shooting street and architectural photography across Dallas. That background, combined with over a decade of martial arts discipline, trained my eye to anticipate movement, frame clean compositions under pressure, and bring relentless focus to every production.

02. The Studio Thesis: Raw Vision

Produced by Chi is built on the philosophy of Raw Vision. Most corporate videos fail because they try to sanitize everything behind corporate PR jargon, stock footage, and exhaustive feature checklists.

Raw Vision means stripping away that superficial polish to capture the unvarnished truth of a business and its people. It is about bold contrast, natural light, and deliberate pacing that makes an audience feel real conviction before any sales pitch begins. People do not connect with marketing bullet points; they connect with authentic human purpose.

03. The Hands-On Pipeline

When you hire Produced by Chi, you work directly with me. There are no account managers playing telephone, no bloated agency overhead, and no months of creative delay. I direct on set, cut the footage, mix the sound, and grade the final color in DaVinci Resolve.

On set, I use conversational interview directing so founders, technical engineers, and executives who have never acted before feel relaxed and speak naturally. In post-production, I combine traditional editing with custom generative AI tools to handle complex visual effects and concepting at speeds that punch well above traditional agency weight.

04. Enterprise Collaborations

Work includes brand launch films, national product guides, and commercial campaigns for enterprise technology leaders like Cisco and Netsync, diagnostic automotive leaders like AsTech, mission-driven organizations like Hayden Valley, and fast-moving independent businesses.

Every project is measured by real business outcomes: clearer messaging, internal alignment, and commercial video assets that continue to drive sales and trust for years after delivery.

06. Career Milestones & Production Evolution

2022 | The Photographic Foundation

ChiKwonPhoto & Viral Instagram Growth

My visual foundation started behind the stills camera. In 2022, my Instagram page (@chikwonphoto) started blowing up with street photography reels, pulling in multi-million views and building a following of tens of thousands. Shooting street photography around Dallas trained my eye to compose quickly, work with available light, and see frames before clicking the shutter.

College Capstone | The Pivot to Motion

First Narrative Short Film

Making my first narrative short film for my college capstone marked the shift from stills to motion. Writing, directing, and editing that project made it clear that directing, sound, and pacing were what I wanted to pursue.

2022 | Foot in the Door

Tactical Fleet to In-House Production at asTech

While doing freelance and assistant camera work, I shot a video for Tactical Fleet. That project got me my first in-house corporate production job at asTech, giving me daily experience producing technical guides, interviews, and product videos.

Cinematography Craft | Dallas Filmmakers Association

DFA Community & Narrative Sets

To keep sharpening my cinematography, I joined the Dallas Filmmakers Association. Crewing sets and directing short films with other local filmmakers gave me hands-on practice with cinema cameras, lighting packages, and working with actors.

2024 | Agency Experience

D2 Digital Designs & Netsync Cisco Project

In 2024, I joined marketing agency D2 Digital Designs, learning how agency campaigns operate and directing high-stakes corporate shoots, including the Netsync and Cisco Virtual Visitation video in secure correctional facilities.

2025 - Present | AI Pipelines & Studio Work

Kelli's & Produced by Chi

Now at Kelli's, I lead in-house video production while building out practical AI video and audio workflows. Through Produced by Chi, I use that same setup to deliver fast, cinematic work directly to clients.
