New Film: What I Love About Xmas

Filed under: Animation, Film, Machinima — Overman @ 8:23 am

What I Love About Xmas

“What do I love about Christmas? Wow. Where do I begin?…”

Enjoy the dark satire, and take comfort in the fact that somewhere in the world there’s probably a family situation twice as crazy as yours.

This film was made with Moviestorm, Pivot, CrazyTalk, Paint Shop Pro, and VectorMagic, and edited with Vegas 8.0.
Concept to completion time: 25 days.

This film contains adult language and bitter disillusionment. It is not for those sensitive to sacrilege. Viewer discretion is advised.

Versions:
A) EXTREME: See it the way it was made to be seen, in HD (1280×720) over on Vimeo.
B) EXCELLENT: Not up for HD? The 800×450 render is still superb quality. Check it out on Stage6 (DivX) or at Z-Studios (Flash).
C) IN A HURRY: Want the quick and dirty? It ain’t the prettiest but you’ll get the idea. There’s a QuickTime 426×240 version on Moviestorm’s site, or you can catch it in low-rez on YouTube.
D) DOGGY BAG: Take it to go, ingest it later. Download mirrors are available at Z-Studios and on the ZS Blip.tv channel.

** Embarrassed you didn’t get me a gift this year? The way out is clear: support the film over on Will Ferrell’s comedy site, Funny or Die! **

Your comments, and your own crazy Xmas stories, are welcome!

ASIDE: I’m really coming to appreciate the value of taking a more centralized approach for releases, versus releasing at a dozen different video sharing sites. It’s of particular significance when releasing regular (weekly) content. With all the promo notices, uploads, etc., it’s a really time consuming process for each release. I’m glad I chose to release these one at a time like this, it’s been very educational on the subject of maximizing efficiency.
