"Now we would like to share it with the entire video production community around the globe as way to spread glad tidings and bright cheer across our industry. We hope everyone enjoys watching it as much as we did making it!"
"Thanks to everyone who helped pull it off at such a busy time of year! And thanks to all who watch it for indulging us. We hope it has the intended effects. Let us know if it works on you at holiday@holmesmillet.com"
