Fixed some issues (standing Santa was rendered with a different exposure than the walking one, for instance).
Added some screen noise.
Then spend forever trying to get the scanlines to change twice as fast…couldn’t get it to work unless I re- made the ‘underlying’ animation (slowing it down) and even then the result was not okay.
Then there was the bell disappearing issue, as @jammingammon pointed out…I fixed it, but then you get the GIF compression followed by the CGCookie compression…I have given up…let this be my entry:

Uploaded it to the Gallery as Final, so nothing to be changed anymore…
Decided on a “close up’ still as project cover and put the GIF ‘inside’, just to avoid triggering epileptic attacks…
