How It Was Made
Over the years, we’ve enjoyed crafting imaginative worlds for our holiday cards. This year, we embraced the idea of making our holiday card world a whimsical one.
The theme for this holiday card is “Holiday Feast In the Woods.” We follow critters along in a snowy forest and they happen upon a mystery feast. Marveling at one another, they gather as more critters scurry in with fruit, nuts, and branches. They all congregate around the fire to cherish the warming moment together.
Our artist, Anna Yu, brought this animation to life in Procreate (a digital art and illustration application) and After Effects (a motion graphics and visual effects software).

We think the process is as cool as the final product, so we wanted to give you a behind-the-scenes look at how it came together.
