The Christmas Special 2008!

It's finally here! No not Christmas, that's Thursday. I'm talking about the ShoePie Christmas special. James and Chris did an excellent job with the acting, their finest work to date. Unfortunately the animation was a bit rushed due to the immovable deadline. I tried emailing the Pope for an extension but he was unwilling to budge on this whole 25th of December. So here it is in all it's glorious widescreen Youtubery.

Merry Christmas!!

The Elves are working hard!

The Christmas special is progressing very, very slowly! Due to time constraints I've decided to ditch the idea of using hand drawn sketches for the character animation. Hopefully I'll try the technique again when I don't have such a tight deadline to hit.

For the time being here's a sneak look at the characters who will be appearing in the Xmas special.

Fingers crossed it will be sliding down chimneys next week.
