D4 is proud to present the year-end recap we created for our friends (and one of our favorite clients) at Santa Monica Pier . In 2018 we covered about 22 different events for them with our trusted army of videographers, photographers and editors, delivering over a dozen different videos and thousands of photos. Such a blast to take part in the massive variety of fun events the pier has put on and help share it with the world. Take a look and check out the whole recap on the Pier’s Youtube!
