Greetings one and all with a hint of festive spirit and a touch of seasonal cheer.

It's about this time of year that you'll hopefully be putting the final 'requests' in your letters to Santa but if you are still undecided then let me make a few suggestions.

If a bit of 2D animation tickles 'yer fancy', then Reallusion have a treat to fill any stocking with their next incarnation of Crazy Talk, namely 'Crazy Talk Animator'.

CrazyTalk Animator, the next level of 2D animation. Create actors using any photo or illustration. Bring actors to life with automatic facial animation and innovative puppeteering motion. Drag n drop to build sets with scenery and props. Film and direct all the action with the camera and timeline tracks for complete 2D Animation.

It also gives me great pleasure in sharing the following feature from former Spotlight Studio staff member 'Wing Commander Finchett', who, for the past 23 years has been out of the limelight whilst meditating in Tibet, is back and back to his best, creating an awesome video about a fiver.
