2022 - Present: AGS

As the Graphics & Media Specialist, I am responsible for producing and scheduling social media content for AGS and our daughter brands Motive Products, BrakeQuip, and Bludot Manufacturing. I also assist in designing traditional marketing materials for both internal and external use. I have produced internal training documents and videos, product packaging, and promotional materials as well. Below are examples of digital content used for social media marketing including videos, photos, and graphics.

2021: Lucas Howard Group

In 2021 I was a Video Production Intern for the Lucas Howard Group in Grand Rapids, MI. I assisted in producing and editing video content for the brand’s social media platforms.

2019-2021: Undergraduate Studies

Below are projects I worked on as a student at Michigan State University.

This first video is my final project for CAS 112: Story Sound and Motion in which I filmed a day in my life.

For MI 341: Filmmaking II, I created a 60-second documentary following my older brother - a teacher - during the pandemic.

The above is a multi-camera program I produced and directed called “Behind the Design,” featuring my cousin Ian Whistler, a Theatre Design and Technical Production student at Western Michigan University. In this program, he explains the process of designing a theatrical show in a pandemic.

The second program I produced and directed, entitled “SolidarityU,” is an interview program featuring members of student organizations at Michigan State University and University of Michigan discussing the shortcomings of their university administrations, particularly in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic. This program was slated for 15 minutes, however due to interest in the topic from the guests, the runtime was significantly longer.

Below are a few elements of my final project for MI 301 - Bringing Media to Market in which I had to create a company/brand and multiple social media campaigns. (Click to enlarge)

Above is a video pitch for a brand I created for ADV 420: New Media’s Driver’s License. The process leading up to this final pitch is documented via blog posts at liveran7msu.wordpress.com
