- ThierryEMMANUELCommunity MemberThanks for watching, everyone. I respond to everyone. To do this, it took me...days and weekends. At the beginning of December, I had no idea. But I really wanted to create my greeting card like every year before New Year's Day. Then I discovered the song and everything fell into place one thing at a time. There is a slide for the short intro and a second slide with the audio track and 35 layers appearing according to the timeline. That's all. Calculating the perfect timing for each scene wasn't the easiest part of the job. Animations are made with classic motion paths. There are a few GIFs I've made (snow, flamingo legs, lipsync). And I paid great attention to the storytelling and the emotions that I wanted you (all) to feel.
- KathyPorter5Community MemberThat is amazing!!! Thank you so much for sharing.
- SandraWhitfordCommunity MemberLove it. What a great card. I don’t speak Spanish but it was still great.
On my end there were some really long gaps with nothing but other than that it was beautifully done.

Sent from my iPhone - ThierryEMMANUELCommunity MemberHi Sandi. Thanks for watching it. I don't speak Spanish either because I'm French. :-) And Angélique Kidjo sings in Minan, a Beninese language. Sound/image desynchronizations sometimes occur (at the end) because I pushed SL to its limits. With a very-very good connection, it's better. Refresh the screen or look at it a second time, you'll be fine.
- SarahHodgeFormer StaffWow, Thierry EMANUEL! Incredible work! 🤩 The way you animated the different animals is impressive! You're such a great storyteller! So inspiring!
- I've watched this a dozen times, Thierry. Look for a related challenge on animated shorts later this year.
- JeffreyRiley-9eCommunity MemberThis was so well done. Certainly a great way to illustrate children's stories but it could work for adults as well. You have given us something to work on.
