Great show Diana, thanks for sharing. I just loved all the movement, the stars and lights and the Xmas tree.

Happy Holidays to you and your family as well.

Very nice -- I can't keep track of that many keyframes :shock:

Just out of curiosity -- how many different "snow" pix did it take
to create the animation? - it looked like 3 or 4.

I'd say, "You da man!" only somehow that just doesn't seem appropriate.

Merry Christmas, Diana!

OH so wonderful!

I also want to know what it took to get the snow effect.

Thats my favourite Christmas song too.

What a joy to watch.

Sorry for the delay in posting, everyone.... Busy Christmas shopping!

Mary, Brian, Bob, Linda, Penny, Colleen, Barbara - Thanks for watching & the kind comments!

Mikey & Kaylef - Thanks for the comments! The snow animation was an avi I created with BluffTitler; not done with photos. Hardest part was tweaking Producer's Chroma Key to get enough transparency. Think at one point I was working with 41 layers on one slide!

Paul - Thank you. Glad you felt what I was trying to convey in 1.5 minutes. This was inspired while sitting here watching it snow & thinking about all my fond Christmas memories. I still remember the anticipation as a child of it getting dark enough for my Mom to switch on those tree lights, and how they seemed to grow brighter as darkness fell. Then, going to our small country church Christmas Eve services with my Grandmother to listen to the story of Jesus' birth and the true meaning of Christmas (represented by the one single star in the show). This show came from way deep inside with lots of heartfelt memories!
