This is my first attempt at a stop frame animation. I shot it on a Nikon D70 and put it together in Photoshop. I made the audio loop and sound effects in Logic.

It is my entry to Glug Londons' Xmas design competition. The theme of the competition is "All I want for Xmas is..." I thought about it for a while and ruled out all the obvious responses. I thought about it on a more personal level and that the memories of Xmas stand out over everything else for me.

The majority of the set is made up of original Xmas decorations from my child hood. The small toys hanging on the tree were made by my mother over 30 years ago. The tree is over 20 years old and still hasn't broken and the nut cracker is hand made from Germany and is also more than 20 years old.
