Holmes Millet / HM4 Productions Team Up With Cast and Crew of 100+ To Try And Make You Smile
DALLAS -- (SPW) --
"Let's GO! 50 ways to celebrate the holidaze!", is a just-for-fun, holiday video created for the express purpose of raising everyone's holiday spirits! This year’s production involved a team effort of over 100 people, both behind and in front of the camera, and about a month's time to wind up with this zany take on “50 Ways to Celebrate The Holidaze!”
Creative conspirators include: Creatives, Directors, Shooters, Editors and Producers from Holmes Millet Advertising / HM4 Productions / Milletworks – Jeff Millet, Scott O'Reilly, Noah Johnson, over 40 actors from The Mary Collins Agency along with their agents, the band Welcome To Wednesday who wrote the original music, In Haus Music – James Neel and Janice Garner who did the recording and mixing, and choreographer Kendra Wilson of Dynamic Dance – all of Dallas, Texas.
"The video was created for the sole purpose of sharing it with family, friends, clients, cohorts and suppliers in hopes of coaxing a few smiles, getting a few laughs, and doing our part to raise holiday spirits!", said Jeff Millet, Creative Director of the group. "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"
