Project Description
This end-of-year holiday video was created as a digital greeting card, featured on a custom landing page and shared on LinkedIn to celebrate the close of 2022. The theme, “Full Steam Ahead into 2023,” embraced a festive steampunk aesthetic—blending the industrial, mechanical feel of the genre with the warmth and optimism of the holiday season.
Once the concept was approved, I was responsible for every aspect of production, from visual design to animation. Unlike my usual workflow, which leans on Illustrator for clean vector elements, this project relied heavily on Photoshop. I sourced and photographed real-world objects—including old boilers, watch parts, cast iron stoves, and various pipes—to build the fictional steam press that powered the piece. These elements were then composited, textured, and animated in After Effects to bring the vision to life.
Balancing the gritty tones of steampunk with the spirit of the holidays was a creative challenge, but the final result struck the right chord—unique, memorable, and well received by both internal teams and external viewers.
