I have been feeling nostalgic. Reflective… 

In the hushed tones of a late night at our AreaLab loft, the hum of downtown LA in the distance, I wrestled with our cranky server named Archimedes. As I transferred files, after its digital tantrum, I stumbled across a forgotten volume - folders brimming with old Disney sizzles, marketing videos, I worked on. Some I hadn’t seen in more than a decade and some almost 20 years old, constrained in the past by fast turnarounds and tight budgets. Some are imperfect. Some now quaint. And some are still cool. 

Each video, with its soundtrack and artwork, transported me–  back to the Burbank Tower, Javits Convention Center, the GC3 Campus to Mandalay Bay. Each sizzle a portal, not just to places, but to memories. I saw the faces, heard the laughter, the echo of conversations, of problem-solving sessions. In these forgotten pixels, a past played, a reminder of the shared journey, the small struggles and little triumphs woven into the fabric of our story.

And so, I started to upload them here, these fragments of our history, a testament to the magic we created, together.

To be continued…
