END OF THE YEAR VIDEOS

Every year, at the start of the year, I would produce a video that recapped the previous year at the Ebby Halliday Companies. These videos highlighted major achievements, initiatives, and milestones the company made over the year. My favorite thing about these videos is that, in a way, they also showcased the skills I honed and techniques I learned that year as a motion graphic artist.

2023 Recap

The word of the year, and the theme of this video, was 'FOCUS'. Not only was it a strong message for the year, but it also provided an interesting visual style for me to execute in this video. I got to experiment with various blurring techniques, such as camera lens blur. This video also used several 3D layers and After Effects cameras.

2022 Recap

Real Estate is much like a long road trip with many twist and turns. My goal for this video was to portray that analogy with many driving elements woven into the delivery of the information. This was the first year I got to implement a theme into the video, giving it more of an entertainment factor.

2021 Recap

This year, I wanted the video to be driven by the music. I timed the different visual elements to be syncopated with the beat. This proved many challenges, especially when dealing with many stakeholders wanting to make revision that ultimately put that goal in jeopardy. Overall, I think this video is incredibly fun and really grew me as a video editor.

2020 Recap

This was the first video of the series, and it was an incredibly difficult year for a majority of the population. Despite that fact, it was also an incredible year for this particular industry and the company. Merging those two truths into one celebratory video was a challenge, but one that was executed with honesty and integrity, acknowledging both highs and lows from the year.
