The Night Before Christmas, Or Yuletide, or such....

[jefersonvilaede]

So christmas IS just an invention, or rather its a pagan holiday! ok ..

I love the legend of Santa Claus and i always feel that a good book or website should be put together to explain where he comes from.Not just Saint Nicholas but his deep pre christian orgins aswell.He meant so much to my childhood.Where i dress as him i sometimes use a crown of holly.

[pintaabe]

awesome! I will use this as inspiration for my pagan Santa Claus outfit

[Exitno1]

[luckylyre]

Congratulations!

[maryjanenherb]

simply beautiful-- both in word and vision

[PanakeiaESOTERIK]

Nice Vid ! But the "12 Sacred nights/'Time between the Years' " starts with the wintersolstice in my humble opinion, as well as many pagans do believe today :

en.wikipedia org/wiki/Yule#Neopaganism

celebrating the wintersolstice on 21st Dec. why should the 12 Nights start at 24th?

24th is the christian influenced  date !

Anyway blessed be and hail the new dawn ! :-)

[MegMerrilies]

Very good, this is what it's all about! thanks for sending.

[ciskovan]

very well done elf - great edit and superb narrating and music. i was a bit concerned about the few numbers of shots u took during our scenes, but... i worked out great.

was really fun to work with u, and u learned a lot.

[2SenseProductions]

I was much rewarded by a hi-def viewing, beautiful work! Chilly textures and snow highlight the rich colors of Odin, the sky, the hall - and that spew of flowers, entirely unexpected at least to me and I laughed with delight

[TheDolmen]

A brilliant representation, Well Done and thankyou for sharing this with the world.its really a great work of art.

[CelestialElf]

@TheDolmen delighted that you liked it thanks :D

[oleetzel]

[muffinsz2]

gotta love this vid!

[LaPiscean]

Another Outstanding, and timely presentation of your magical talents. It felt good to take a more authentic look at our Yuletide cheer instead of being so commercial. Thank you . :)

[Larkworthy]

You have restored the magic of the yuletide! The Norse traditions are deeply embedded and buried in our modern mythos. I truly admire this work. Your version of Odin especially. Really wonderful way to start the holiday season. Bravo Elf!!

[CelestialElf]

@Larkworthy TY haha thats exactly what i wanted to do, happy yuletide to you!! :D

[PROFILESophiaYates]

@Larkworthy I agree with Larkworthy what a nice way to start the Season. I needed the spark of your vision to inspire me to continue myself. Thank you CelestialELF u did it again 4 me!

[Ionoallen]

Very good Celestial ! I like this coherence in the ambiance, through the lights and the rythm. I agree with PhoenixEmbers about the sense of pre-christian tradition: it works like magic !

Bravo !

[debravity]

Excellent as always Celestial. Best camera movement yet? And the lighting, wow. Your scene and angle changes are always subtle yet so effective and so much a part of your style. I'll be watching this one on the larger tv screen on christmas.

[PhoenixEmbers]

Very nice and intensive movie - I like the overall sense for old pre-christian tradition and I like the snow ;-) Camera (navigator) very smooth! Iike also the pace of the machinima. Congrats to this, Elf! (scheduled for Machinima of the Week in December).

[ryusho2000]

getting better and better! keep it up : )

[freetakayo]
