Hello, I’m
Luke Tomlin.

I’M A MULTIDISCIPLINARY CREATIVE IN FILM, PHOTO & DESIGN.

Let's Talk!

Be Passionate About Something.

I’m passionate about using creative work to tell stories, bring creative visions into reality, and connect artists and brands with audiences. With a background of creative marketing in live events and entertainment (including video production, photography, and graphic design) I boast a well-rounded understanding of digital media and creative work.

If you’re looking for your next Creative Specialist, Junior Art Director, Videographer, Photographer, or Graphic Designer- you may have just found him.

Featured Work in Film and Video

Christmas Coffeehouse: Under the Tree | Vintage Ad Promo

In creating the brand design for Christmas Coffeehouse: Under the Tree, I put great emphasis on the look of video content that would be included in or promote the show.

The resulting cohesive set of vintage CRT-inspired advertisements featured heavy stylized grain, rounded corners, intense chromatic aberration, noticeable pixel distortion, and a 4:5 aspect ratio.

Art direction is more than just graphic design- it informs video content’s creative look, storytelling, and execution.

Cinematography Inspired by Your Favorite Songs

As one of my final assignments in my undergraduate degree, I conceptualize a short film loosely based on one of my favorite songs, “ceilings” by Lizzy McAlpine.

I write, short list, and storyboard the short film, and then assemble a rag-tag group of production students and talent to bring the vision to life. The finished project speaks to my passion for creative marketing in music.

“Animal Crossing: New Horizons” Ad

2025 AAF Roanoke Student Gold ADDY Award Winner (Film Video & Sound | Television Advertising - Single)

Produced by Luke Tomlin for the Intermediate Video Production course at Liberty University in the Fall 2024 Semester, under the guidance of Professor R. Previte.

All game footage and Nintendo trademarks/brand elements are used for educational purposes in the production of video production classwork. This is not an official Nintendo Ad.

After Party | Example of Work in Text Animation and Motion Graphics

2026 AAF Roanoke Student Gold ADDY Award Winner (Motion Graphics and Special Effects)

In collaboration with designer Delilah Froese at the Student Activities department of Liberty University, I was tasked with creating this video of motion graphics to market an upcoming end-of-the-year After Party. The result is an ad of text animation, hand drawn assets supporting brand assets created by Delilah, and voice acting by Event Supervisor Chloe Rinaldi.

And that’s just the beginning.
