Tim Long
Hi there, my name is Tim. I am from the shores where The Cuyahoga meets the Erie basin - Cleveland, Ohio. I work in video, photography, motion graphics, social media, graphic design, and content creation.
I am a creative hybrid with a knack for learning everything about the process of building a brand idenitiy and maintaining a captive audience. From ideation to total creative direction, I have experienced it all. I am always interested in what captivates people, and that is why I talk about some of my inspirations on this website. What makes the car move - is it gas, or maybe electicity? You have to look under the hood sometimes to understand what makes a hybrid model move the way it does.
Currently I am the Multimedia Specialist for the Cleveland Metroparks. I spend most of my time filming in our parks, taking photos of animals at our zoo, or documenting how we are restoring the lands around what we call the emerald necklace. With my team we have successfully launched two shows in partnership with Netflix based around the baby animals at our zoo. These shows contributed to our zoo being the top pick for a baby gorilla surrogacy program which helped save Baby Jameela (you can check out the story in the video tab above).
I have been a producer on several Emmy award winning NBA productions for the Cleveland Cavaliers. I also run a Cleveland themed Instagram account with 30k followers known as @clegram.
in my spare time (what even is spare time anymore?) I am a family man. I love hanging out with my wife and three daughters. Life is too short to spend time doing things you don’t like so I always make sure to make them my priority.
I fit the bill of a man who wears many hats, a jack of all trades, or someone who never has idle hands. I am always making or fixing things around the house, whether it be digital or physical.
