R0BATO Media is a creator-led video production company built inside sports media. Ten years of work at FanDuel, The Athletic, and The Ringer — on set with athletes, at the Super Bowl, at NBA All-Star Weekend, at the Kentucky Derby — now operating as a lean, credentialed production resource for agencies, leagues, brands, and events.
The premise is simple. Most productions of this size carry a crew of three to five people, a producer, and a week of coordination before anyone films anything. R0BATO Media delivers the same output — cinema camera, aerial, POV, clean audio, finished post — with one operator, a same-day turnaround option, and no layer between the brief and the person shooting it.
That means the work moves faster, costs less to stage, and gets into environments a full crew cannot: talent green rooms, active job sites, media rows, moving vehicles, tight interiors, and anywhere a footprint is the constraint.
Production company capability. One-person efficiency.
Ten-plus years producing video at the top of sports media. On set, on deadline, on the record
Talent & Environments
Rob Gronkowski, Pat McAfee, Kay Adams, Shams Charania, and Blake Griffin. Talent-facing production means knowing how to get what you need in the window you're given, and not needing a second take.
Super Bowl, NBA All-Star Weekend, and the Kentucky Derby. Same-day turnarounds against a live sports calendar, with credential protocols, media row logistics, and broadcast handoffs handled.
Production credit on FanDuel's Kick of Destiny. Two Grand Clios, a Clio Gold, and an Effie. The same creative standard national brands buy, delivered without national brand overhead.
Operating History
Roughly 200 videos a month produced against a live sports calendar at FanDuel. Systems built for output, not one-off hero pieces.

Tournaments, launches, media days, brand activations, and sponsor moments. Aerial, ground, and POV angles from a single operator, with same-day social cuts and a full recap edit

Longer-form narrative work — founder stories, season recaps, behind-the-scenes documentary, partner and sponsor features. Scored, graded, and delivered to spec
