Please check our Christmas & New Year Card prepared using latest Silverlight Technology.
Have fun, play with it and share it with your Friends!

Production Proccess:
As usual this time of the year everyone HAVE TO make a Christmas Card to tell the world how happy we are! Groovy…

12 October.
We made first attempts with model agency, casting and photo shoot, but the effect was
a little bit disappointing, so we had to think of something different.

23 November.
We did another experiment with animation engines and PaperVision. We failed…

17 December.
We were overwhelmed by other Christmas productions from around the globe.

…anyway! We did our best! Once again…We wish you all Merry Christmas and splendid 2010!
Hope it will be fun :-)
