The Life & Times of S. Lanier

Shaheer Lanier is a Maryland based multi-hyphen (through artistic disciplines, not marriage) artist: Filmmaker, Music Producer, Graphic Designer; professional video editor and fictitious stand up comedian. (Is it okay to break this third person writing? Yes? Great) While forgoing the traditional film school education, I was able to gain several years of experience working on various projects with local musicians, brands and companies, doing everything from brand identity, logo design, commercials, music videos, sketch comedy and documentary style work. My overactive imagination and commitment to consistent growth and development has allowed me to take on new skills, and fuel my desire to work on bigger and better projects. I love working with people that dream big, and match my passion for the craft. SLanted Reality is a brand that I created to give identity to all of my endeavors outside of just my name, it encompasses my desire to go outside of the general confides of typically content production, and captures my genuine intrigue for weirdness.

I have 10 years video editing experience, working on internal video content, live events, and web content for companies and organizations.

Outside of the video/design world, I am a music producer who is trying to maintain an active release schedule of music. Does anyone like it? Who knows, but it is a very therapeutic outlet to channel energy and creativity.
