Yule Log 2.0 is an annual collaborative effort in which various animation artists create short films that bring the traditional Yule Log into the digital age. This is the fourth year for the project and in addition to being a gift to the internet, it’s also a chance to make a difference.
2016 Yule Log 2.0
This year the people behind Yule Log 2.0 are raising funds to support Camp Interactive in the Bronx, NY, a place where kids can learn to code (and canoe). You can also donate here.
A jury of three selected 50 participants out of almost 1,000 applicants, 30 of which I have shown here (in no particular order).
