Background

Hello. My name is Anthony Chiado. I am a detail-oriented and highly creative graduate from Arizona State University where I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Media Arts and Sciences with a 4.0 GPA.

In the summer of 2024, I served as a Communications/Media Intern at First Baptist Church Melbourne. In that role, I produced video content including sermon trailers and social media reels, maintained and updated the church website, and acted as lead videographer during Vacation Bible School. In addition to my volunteer work as a Tech Team Member at First Baptist Church Melbourne, I am currently working as a Master Video Production Specialist with Invisible Technologies contributing to short-term contract projects. My most recent campaign involved creating and uploading first-person POV videos and descriptive content for innovative media workflows.

I am a fast learner who thrives on collaboration and constructive feedback. I am proficient in Adobe Creative Suite (including Premiere Pro, After Effects, Photoshop, Illustrator, Audition, and more) which I used extensively throughout my coursework and personal projects. I am also knowledgeable in Microsoft 365 and Canva, and I have experience with Visual Studio Code, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, C#, and Unity. 

This image of me is based on an oil painting from 1891 entitled "A young boy wearing a stetson" by Eugene de Blaas.

Education

I graduated from St Johns River State College (SJR State) in Orange Park, Florida with an AA (cum laude) in December 2022. While attending SJR State, I was inducted into the Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society, and I was selected for the 2023 All-Florida Academic Team. I received a Bachelor of Arts in Media Arts and Sciences from Arizona State University (summa cum laude) in May 2025.

Hobbies

I am an avid collector. My collection includes action figures from my favorite franchises, namely Transformers and Sonic the Hedgehog. I also collect Lego from various themes including Star Wars, Marvel, Ninjago, Bionicle, and Sonic the Hedgehog. Outside of professional and academic settings, I have spent over six years building a personal YouTube channel featuring stop motion animations, video reviews, and gameplay content. I frequently include items from my collection in my work and in my videos for my YouTube channel. I play the piano and bass guitar as well, and I have used my own music in some of my videos. I also enjoy designing and printing 3D models using Tinkercad and Blender.

Strengths & Goals

The primary motivation behind the majority of the projects showcased in this portfolio was completion of college assignments and internship projects. Inspiration for my work is often drawn from many YouTube channels and artists that I follow, for example, Yuji Uekawa, Lego Cooking, and Rodimus Primal.

My remote academic experience, as well as my current remote role with Invisible Technologies, has strengthened my self-motivation and time management skills enabling me to consistently meet tight deadlines. 

At this time, I am seeking a full-time opportunity in media development, with a focus on content creation, video editing, and/or motion graphics.
