Glorious Impossible: Christmas Animation

This animation was made to play behind the Prestonwood Baptist Church Choir during their 2006 Christmas concert "Gloria!". The drawings were done by hand, scanned in, and then manipulated with Photoshop. The animated reveal was mostly done with After Effects, but the first two scenes were animated frame by frame. They took over 700 individual pictures to animate. After those two, I was inspired to learn After Effects.

If you have any questions about this video, please feel free to contact me. However, please do not contact Prestonwood with requests for the video.

This is performed by a quartet of men from Prestonwood Baptist in Plano, Texas. Great song and absolutely incredible to see this in person.
