Unfortunately, I didn't get my Christmas film finished this year, although I really started in time. 
But there were just so many other things to do. I'll show you what I have so far anyway, who knows if it will ever get finished. I might rework a few scenes and I still have to do post-production. I haven't even finished the sound. I thought I could at least do that. I think I also underestimated it a bit, that every day of the film there are more and more characters to coordinate, especially to the music and the lyrics.
My boyfriend says the film is quite pretty, but boring and you don't understand anything, partly because you quickly lose interest. And so I probably lack the motivation to continue anyway, but of course I want an honest opinion, and that's what I get from him. Well, however - here's the film:
One reason why the Christmas film wasn't finished is that we did another projection show on the castle at the Christmas market. Actually I didn't want to do it again this year, but my boyfriend talked me into it.
Because there wasn't much time left (and besides, it's not paid) I just took the characters I already had: the gargoyle from last year and the ones from the Christmas film. Only the owl was new. (By the way, the worm was still cut off here, but that was hardly noticeable in the projection and I didn't care). Unfortunately, the film quality is very poor. Again, I couldn't manage to film the projection well.
But I think you can roughly imagine it. These are two separate projected films on the left and right of the castle, which ran in a loop to different music throughout the evening.
(I think almost nobody understood the "12 Days of Christmas", because the song is rather unknown in Germany. But that didn't matter to me either. The children liked it anyway
)
I wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

But I think it also depends on the interpretation. This one, of course, is not quite as good. (It's just a guy, a primary school teacher, who sings a bit for kids on his YouTube channel). I think there are some very good interpretations on YouTube, but unfortunately I don't have the rights to use them.
