Lauren Lanker, Director
Luke is a rockstar! I have had the honor of working with him on video projects for several years now, and time and time again, I am BLOWN away by his editing and animation magic. He takes even our rawest of raw footage and creates a professional and high quality finished product. Not to mention, he is super fast and super kind. If I could give him more than 5 stars, I would!
Alli VanKanegan, Lead
Luke is an incredible talent and an absolute pleasure to work with-- we've partnered on several video projects over the last few months, and the ideas he's brought to the table has made each one of them so much better. Since we started working with him, we've put out the highest quality videos we've ever done, hands down. He's great at listening to ideas and goals, clearly communicates timelines, works quickly, and is happy to advise on how to keep things on or under budget. I can't recommend his services enough!
Keely Hardaway, Producer
Working with Luke at Appelquist creative was a fantastic experience. He took such care to understand our mission and creative vision for each project. From filming to final production, he had the skills and insight to achieve exactly what we were hoping for. His design, animation, and editing abilities are truly unmatched. I’d highly recommend Appelquist Creative!
