What I Love About Xmas
"What do I love about Christmas? Wow. Where do I begin?..."
Enjoy the dark satire, and take comfort in the fact that somewhere in the world there's probably a family situation twice as crazy as yours.
This film was made with Moviestorm, Pivot, CrazyTalk, Paint Shop Pro, and VectorMagic, and edited with Vegas 8.0.
Concept to completion time: 25 days.
This film contains adult language and bitter disillusionment. It is not for those sensitive to sacrilege. Viewer discretion is advised.
NOTE: There are two downloadable versions of the film available: HD (1280x720) and Standard (800x450 and smaller). Enjoy it in HD for under 100 MB if you can... it's the way it was meant to be seen!
Your comments, and your own crazy Xmas stories, are welcome!

That was not only well written, funny as all get out, and delivered with expert comedic timing, it was the best Moviestorm usage I’ve seen yet. The lighting of the sets, the life in the actors, it was all just stupendous. I especially loved the pivoting camera scene and the slow-mo follow as he falls to the floor. Thank you for the Christmas chuckles. I hope this Christmas day will be much nicer for you than your past examples.

Wow. I am sorry it took me so long to get here. I’m not sold on moviestorm yet. But I am sold on the character of Overman…
The man who sheds light on all my personal neurosis.
Great stuff here sir.
