For the winter holidays of December 2020, the tradition of a 24-hour animation challenge continued. For this year, the art style, animation, and story were condensed to 30 seconds. Finding a way to showcase our little family had grown and introduced the mischievous pup named Doc Holiday.

 

This major animation was created to share warm wishes with family near and far away. Created using Photoshop and After Effects, rendered out in Premiere Pro within 24 hours during December 2019.
