Don't Mess With Santa

Link 1

Merry Christmas!  This is a video that I started early in December! It was mostly a test to learn how to make a fight scene.

In this video, Jonny doesn't get a Lego set he wants for Christmas so he goes to take revenge on Santa. What he didn't expect was for Santa to be prepared! You know what they say -  "He's always watching!" Anyway I hope you enjoy this action packed video!

Thanks to my Dad for the Amazing editing! He truly made this project come to life!
I was also able to get voice recordings for Santa from my older brother as he visited us for Christmas! He did a great job!

If you have any questions on how I made this you can ask the in the comment section below!

Re: Don't Mess With Santa

That was great! There was a lot of good animation in this. I love the "out of the socket" style of animation like Santa's ninja moves and the guy ripping up the present. You have a good eye for cinematography as well, and some of the camera movements were really impressive. How did you film that shot at 1:40 where the camera rotates around the action?

A few points of critique: some of the punches didn't really feel all that "impactful". I think it might look better if things like that were animated with faster movements (although it's hard to get punches and kicks right). Some of the shots were also a bit overexposed, meaning that everything was just basking in a sea of white.

Your set design is fantastic, and the voice acting was great as well. Overall, an impressive film.

Merry Christmas!

I really like this film! The twist at the end worked well and it was a fun watch. Keep up the good work and keep pushing those boundaries!
