I’ve been sharing each step of the @Contra #holidaychallenge2025 trailer study over the past few days, so here’s a short recap of everything together ( warning: fast cuts! ), plus the final result at the end.
This challenge was a lot of fun. It pushed me to try new approaches and see some part of the walkthrough in a different way while enjoying experimenting to get a lot of interesting results, which I really liked.
Hope you’re all having a great end of the year guys, and wishing you all the best for the next one. It’s going to be an exciting one!
This is really cool, makes me wanna see 'the whole movie'.. ❤️
Thanks Kristine. Nice to hear it!
That’s the main goal of a trailer, so happy to see it works from your perspective!
Incredible trailer and 'making of'! I'm curious, what model did you use for the art style? (I assume you created still frames before animating)
Hey thanks!
Yes, MJ for that.
Seems that MJ is the best! BTW wishing you all the best for 2026!! 💥🤘
Happy end of the year and the best for you too!! 🥳
This is Amazingggg!

So when doing this are you recording 24/7 as you build or do you go back for highlights as needed?
1. For sure not 24/7
2. I have both in that video. I occasionally record during the process and save those recordings for later. Additionally, I have some cuts that I made while revisiting specific parts that I thought could be interesting to show, as I didn’t record those...
process makes sense capture video and organizing has always been quite a chore, the result has a commercial quality to it for sure
Love the creativity behind thiss! great workk
This is truly Awesome!!!
i would love to learn video editing some day
Insanely good
Great process Javier!

This project is amazing, also always love your editing btw!
Oh Monserrat, appreciate your comment, kind of you!
Gracias!
love this
wow. this is really goooood
Great recap — the fast cuts really highlight the experimentation and growth across each step. It’s clear the challenge pushed your process in a meaningful way, and the final result ties it all together nicely.
What was the biggest shift in your approach during this study that you’ll carry into future projects?
you are doing a fantastic job
Oh my god! This is incredible!
