Earlier this year we sold the project to <a href="http://www.bozthebear.com/exclaim/overview.asp">Exclaim Entertainment</a>, a division of <a href="http://reelfx.com/">ReelFX</a> in Texas! We spent 13 weeks in Dallas finishing the project with the talented crew at ReelFX (check out the <a href="http://www.ycbanimation.com/blog/vfn_crew.htm">cast and crew</a>).<br /><br />They did an amazing job and we couldn't be happier with how it turned out.<br /><br />Right now it's playing on DirecTV. You can also buy it at Wal-Mart or go to the show's <a href="http://www.veryfirstnoel.com/">website</a> (or amazon.com, bestbuy.com, or familylife.com, etc.. ).<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:lucida grande;"><span style="font-size:100%;">I thought I could lead off with some of my color script paintings from the show:</span><br /><br /><br /></span></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_87L7gCF3MA8/RYH8jSli06I/AAAAAAAAABE/Rxw29_Anels/s1600-h/seq_7.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_87L7gCF3MA8/RYH8jSli06I/AAAAAAAAABE/Rxw29_Anels/s400/seq_7.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5008561943827633058" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_87L7gCF3MA8/RYH7yCli04I/AAAAAAAAAA0/muZql3X50Dk/s1600-h/seq_9.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_87L7gCF3MA8/RYH7yCli04I/AAAAAAAAAA0/muZql3X50Dk/s400/seq_9.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5008561097719075714" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_87L7gCF3MA8/RYIclili09I/AAAAAAAAABo/Tp46b6CHUBE/s1600-h/seq_16.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_87L7gCF3MA8/RYIclili09I/AAAAAAAAABo/Tp46b6CHUBE/s400/seq_16.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5008597166854427602" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_87L7gCF3MA8/RYIc_Cli0-I/AAAAAAAAABw/2xxdLPoKxZ4/s1600-h/seq_22.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_87L7gCF3MA8/RYIc_Cli0-I/AAAAAAAAABw/2xxdLPoKxZ4/s400/seq_22.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5008597604941091810" border="0" /></a><br /><br />The image below is our "family portrait".
