This is one of the spots from a 22 piece holiday season graphics package for the Sprout television network that I produced while at Aardman Nathan Love. It is a cheerful little series of spots combining stop motion and After Effects animation. It was a great shoot and the whole set smelled of gingerbread and pine.
