Very nice Blog, A Grand Day Out in 256 colours looks really nice, it added to the piece somehow. Thanks Steve

Hi Paul, It's all just wonderful, Santa looks great, the reindeer is cool, and the village/hamlet is just as one imagines it. The whole christmas-winter thing is a very strong image. Even living in the southern hemisphere one identifies snow with christmas. I remember one winter (July/August) when it was snowing outside, my son (3 years old at the time) looked out and said 'Father Christmas (Santa) is coming!'. Thanks for sharing Steve

It's a cool animation. I didn't understand it, but I liked it. The political side of the animation escaped me, but the group dancing in sync had an Irish feel to it. You should finish it. Steve

Thats great!, I really like the animation, and this is just a wee point, but is the boomarang the wrong way round. That is, in your animation the character should be holding the other end of the boomerang. (End forward as oppose to the middle bend part forward). I'm not sure, as I only have one boomerang and have only recently moved to Australia, so I'm probably wrong on the assumption that all boomerangs are thrown in the same manner. The character's excited jump and clapping for joy show a wonderful amount of emotion. Yours Steve
