First off, I hope you are having a very Merry Christmas. To add to your festive day of good cheer, egg nog and annoying relatives, here’s a charming project that encompasses the Holiday Spirit.
Animated Alternatives To That Boring Burning Log
Yule Log 2.0 re-imagines the traditional Yule Log through a collection of short films by illustrators, animators, directors, and creative coders. First televised in 1966 by WPIX-TV as a gift to viewers, the Log has since burned itself into our hearts. Curated by Daniel Savage and built by Wondersauce, the site features the imaginative work of many artists. I have chosen to share most (40) of them with you here.
