Zenosyne (noun): The sense that time appears to be moving faster and faster, especially as one grows older. We feel that.

But, in reality, it’s been a really great year for the team at Near Future; we tried some new things, we made some new friends, and we made some really great work. So, as any good walk down memory lane starts (at least one from a creative production company…) here is a recap video featuring some (but not all or we’d be here all day) projects we worked on with, or without you. Thank you for making 2022 a memorable one!

Now, let’s get down to the real story here: statistics.

Data

From January 1, 2022 through the publishing of this blog post, we have processed 32 TB of video data. That’s a lot. That’s ~ 32,000,000 MB. Woah. In practical terms thats:

Should we keep going? It’s a lot. That much data comes from the 96 projects we worked on together. (Let’s try to beat this next year – challenge?)

Coffee Intake

To get through all of those projects, the team drank 22,880 cups of coffee (yes, we did the math) over the course of the year. Well, ok, maybe we accounted for some coffee that helped us make early morning pre-work tee times… should we tally up our rounds of golf? Maybe not – just know we played a lot of golf, and drank a lot of coffee. Balance.

And finally, one of our favorite stats – people we know and love, doing other cool things.

Overall, a good year. A great year. And at the close, we can’t wait to see what comes together in 2023. Thanks for being a part of our family. Have a wonderful holiday season and happy new year!! We’ll see you in January!! (Except for those of you that owe us feedback, we’ll be emailing you today…)

It’s all about growth. In business, in our personal lives, in our relationships, and the list goes on…This year was a year for growth at Near Future and not just in the number of projects we worked on!

Some of our more notable and exciting growths as a team this year were…

We tried some new things this year and frankly, we’d do them all again!

Honestly, this was the hardest list to narrow down… you get eight. You’re welcome.

1. Mini Banana Pancakes – yes, exactly as good as they sound.

2. Trader Joe’s Ghost Pepper Chips

3. Trail Mix – for the healthy option on the go.

4. Bananas – for the purists

5. Peanut Butter Cups – obviously.

6. Trader Joe’s Chili & Lime Rolled Corn Chips – a healthier Taki (or so we convince ourselves).

7. Pretzels – filled with peanut butter, salted, covered in chocolate, dipped in wasabi, rolled in cheese – any shape, any size.

8. Candy – a little sugar pick-me-up never hurt anyone.
