// News

Luckily in writing these posts, pronunciation is never an issue! But whether or not you plan to brush up on your Finnish, Mummu’s fluid morphs make a starry night, a reindeer skull and an ancient Santa Claus seem like the most natural thing in the world to connect with Christmas.

Director Sam Atkins answers our Christmassy questions:
Interesting moment, fact or point of inspiration from your production:
Had to be our first meeting with our sound designer Oswald Skillbard where he introduced us to throat singing. He ended up moving the sound design in a different direction, but we very much enjoyed it non-the less! Thanks Oswald!

Most memorable Christmas moment:
Receiving my first proper bike for Christmas (no stabilisers) – It was a blue BMX and I was 5 years old. I remember being very confused by how Santa had got it into my room without waking me up.

At the top of the Christmas list:
Definitely by far the most exciting thing this year will be giving my 2-year daughter Lily a scooter… with pink glitter tassels. She’s going to love it!

#AdventAnimation is a daily showcase of holiday themed animation. If you are working on something with a touch of holiday cheer that will be released sometime between 1 December and Christmas Eve, drop me a note and I will put it into consideration.
