For the final CFK intro of 2011(and probably for a while), it was pretty much of a no-brainer what to do once the halloween titles were finished.

Video: http://youtu.be/kNcWXZewr1Q

I started in late november on the christmas titles mainly as by that time the shop's here in the UK are so full of christmas stuff, that its pretty easy to just have a walk around looking for idea's and inspiration.

I pretty much stuck to my original idea of having the guys travelling in the northpole towards a christmas cabin.

With this idea in my head, i started where i have on each of the titles, the background. I wanted to fill the background with elves doing various activites ie. skiing sledging, snowball fighting. So i created a backgound solid in AE, then created various elves and placed them in the background. I then filled in the remaining spaces with christmas tree's and snowmen.

Originally in the background i had animated and added the northern lights. Although it looked ok, once i had added the snow and video's etc, i removed it as it wasn't that visible anymore.

I then created a list of objects to create in 3D, including the nutcracker and the turkey.

Jona and Michael were actually completed first as a test during making the halloween titles.

The longest time i spent was on the end shot of the house, especially the snowglobe which was abit of a pain to animate at first.

I have to say a huge 'thank you' to Arne, Joe, Spencer, Jona, Michael. It's been a real joy to work on CFK stuff over the last few months, cheer's for the opportunity. Fingers crossed i'm hoping to be thanking you in person this year!!

Also a big 'Happy New Year' to all those who have visited my page here on AND over the year, especially the AND staff for your fantastic support for yet another year.
