"Childhood Inspiration" - SD Professionals Holiday Greeting 2011

Each year, we produce a video for our friends and clients as a unique way of wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from us! Our 2011 video was one of our all-time favorites.

Starting with a simple drawing from our Graphic Design team, the idea slowly came to life. As the team continued to develop the ideas, the drawings and rendering also grew in detail. After hand drawings were completed, it was time to bring them to life! The process from hand drawn characters to movable actors on screen is always incredible to watch.

As you can see, nothing was lost throughout the creative process. From pencil to pixels, the ideas and personalities of all our characters transferred perfectly. Our graphic design staff and video animators worked closely together to find out what drawings translated well to motion graphics and what needed to be left out. In the end, we think they found the perfect mix of textures and illustrations to take an idea and bring it to life! What a talented team!

We couldn’t wait for the process to be complete so that our whole team could wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! We know it’s not something to be hung over your fireplace, but that’s not our style! Be sure to follow along with us next year and check your email for our way of passing along good tidings and well wishes.
