Hines approached us with a special request: create a holiday video that would continue their annual tradition of spreading joy to teams and clients around the world. Inspired by their previous Houston drone light show, we expanded on the theme of light—using it as a unifying symbol of connection, celebration, and shared experience.

Our concept centered on lights traveling across the globe, converging in meaningful ways while capturing authentic, heartwarming reactions. To achieve this, we blended carefully selected stock footage with extensive visual effects work, building a seamless and magical visual narrative. The level of VFX required was significant—pushing our systems to their limits—but our team remained committed to delivering the intended impact.

In addition to the full-length feature video, we created a shorter, social-optimized version for Instagram, allowing Hines to extend the campaign’s reach across digital platforms.

The final piece was both visually stunning and emotionally resonant—a global holiday message rooted in light, unity, and shared celebration.
