One of the funnest ones I have made, despite how short the animation is.

Christmas Blessings is a slightly dark, character driven, holiday movie - for... part of the family.

In 1989, the O’Donnell’s purchased a new VHS Camcorder.

While creating a memorial video for the late great Uncle Billy, I archived a bunch of old VHS footage.  The footage covered roughly a two year period from late 1989 through 1990, with exceptions.  After completing the memorial video, I had a source timeline with several hours of footage, which I continued to narrow down to vignettes focused on character, and juxtaposing moments.

There were several themes living within footage, nostalgia aside, that asked to be a short film.  This included the difference in how people interacted with the camera in the pre-social media generations, the importance of the dining room table, music, etc.  A holiday is where I was able to group the most of these together, so this VHS footage quickly became a Christmas Movie, with the camera living as a dominant character.
