While trying to gain a better social media presence, one of my colleagues proposed to shoot a promotional video for our social media.

We worked together in February 2021.

We had no strict deadline and a fair budget, and the project lasted for a week. The team was on-site; otherwise, we communicated through phone calls and emails.

What distinguished Silver Glass Productions from the competition was their nice people presence. They were very sociable and kind.
