The Santa Clauses (Season 2)

CONCEPT + DESIGN + ANIMATION

The Santa Clauses (Seaon 2)

Brief

My fine feathered friends over at Plucky invited me back for a refresh on the main title/logo reveal for the Disney+ Series The Santa Clauses for season two!

Client : Pixel Preacher/Disney+
Director : Jason Winer
Creative Director : David Clayton
Creative Producer : Jeffrey Marks

SOLUTION

We kept the basic structure of the main title from season one intact, but sprinkled in updated conceptual elements from season two.

Technically Speaking

The piece combines live-action, 3D animation, and 2D compositing. Created in Cinema 4D, rendered in Redshift, composited in After Effects, and edited in Premiere.

Special thanks to to Tom Coben for the help on the Nutcracker UVs!
