A Christmas Card from Edinburgh

Here is my animated Christmas card, for our last project of 2012!
The idea for it is a magical reindeer flying over the city of Edinburgh and lighting up all the Christmas lights and decorations. I didn't really manage to animate the reindeer flying or anything like that, but I did put the reindeer in at the end there. The reindeer was animated on the computer with Adobe Flash, but the rest of the animation was drawn with pencil and pastels. I first walked around the city sketching the scenes from life and taking photos, then animated the Christmas lights. I put some scenes that are personal to me in as well - the castle view from Grassmarket, which I see on the way to uni, and the Conan Doyle Pub!

Anyway, hope you enjoy this Christmas card, and a very merry Christmas to everyone and a happy new year!!
