Oof. What a long day.
Put in some extra time at work today to get this project across the finish line and we did it. All the hard work prepping for this thing paid off. We used almost everything I worked on in advance. Like, almost everything.
That was very satisfying.
We were prepping video clips to use for a celebratory video to honor the titles in the Netflix catalogue that received Emmy nominations this year. The catch: we didn’t know what the nominations would actually be until they were announced this morning.
That meant we had to pull clips rather blindly, kind of guessing what we thought was going to be nominated. Well…whatever team did that guessing pretty much nailed it. There were only two titles out of 117 total nominations that Netflix got this year that we hadn’t pulled any clips for.
TWO.
It was dope. Still came down to the wire, of course, getting the project done and submitted on time…but it wasn’t a crazy scramble. At all. In fact, they were able to really milk all that time today and get it right. Make sure we had the best clips we possibly could.
It goes live tomorrow morning on the Netflix front page. That main space where the Stranger Things 3 trailer has been playing the past few weeks? Right there. Front and center.
Very proud to have been part of the support staff for the project.
Exhausted, too.
Night!
