SYPartners: A Greatness Odyssey

Nothing short of a masterpiece, this film was created with my artist friend who worked at the SYP front desk. I wanted to learn how to record and edit video as well as create motion graphics using After Effects so I pitched this movie idea to my manager and a creative director at my first mid-year review and goal setting. I got a ‘go for it’ and a budget of $400. Over the next 18 months my friend and I story-boarded, wrote, directed, recorded, edited, built sets, scheduled, and actually got everyone we asked to act in it to actually do it. The result, an office viewing event in the San Francisco office. We were even flown to the NY office to have a viewing there.
