A look back at the past year of freelancing - thankful for everyone who trusted me to bring their ideas to life.

Praise God for how he provided and connected me to amazing people and agencies.

Going to start breaking down projects to help show the techniques, so stay tuned!

a good amount of this video are just parts of ESPN commercials (0-4 sec, 20-24 sec)

begs the question if other parts of the video are also just ripped from other commercials or professionally made videos

there's definitely talent in the next generation, but this isn't original
