Advent Animation 2014 – Dec 15: Loop De Loops
This month, LoopDeLoop successfully completed their Indiegogo campaign to expand their bi-monthly animation challenge and live screenings. Animators submit a looped animation based on a given theme. Anyone can participate and the best animations are shown live at screenings in cities around the world.
Looping animations are a great challenge to create, because they force you to refine an idea into a tiny nugget and pack a lot of time and effort into a short sequence of images. When executed well, the resulting loop is an engaging sequence which flows seamlessly and stands up to repeated viewings. – LoopDeLoop
LoopDeLoop has become a mini-showcase for aspiring and professional animators alike, as well as a source of motivation to keep the art form fresh.
Here are a few loops I’ve collected based on a (very loosely interpreted) wintery, holiday theme. Enjoy!

#AdventAnimation is a daily showcase of holiday themed animation. If you are working on something with a touch of holiday cheer that will be released sometime between 1 December and Christmas Eve, drop me a note and I will put it into consideration.
