A proper ad video of 45 seconds took me 6 hours to bring to life after many hours of brainstorming and sketching. The one good thing about being an editor is the result. The process can be tasking but the thought of it disappears if the result is nice.

Hi everyone, just a heads-up. Around 7:15 PM at Bent Tree Apartments in Centreville, VA, someone tried to enter our apartment—pushing the door handle for about 3 minutes and then banging really hard on the door for another 3 minutes without identifying himself. He was wearing a jacket similar to the one in the picture, had his face covered, and was approximately 5’9”. Police arrived around 8 PM and took a report. Please stay alert in the surrounding areas.
