Head Gear animates Destiny's Child

Post, Jan, 2005

TORONTO -- Head Gear Animation was called on to produce a music video for "Rudolph the RedNosed Reindeer," which was recently re-recorded by Destiny's Child. The track is part of a special CD that accompanies the 40th Anniversary Collector's Edition Rudolph DVD from Classic Media and Sony Wonder. The video debuted on the popular AOL Music First View program in December.

To accompany the latest version of the track, the Grammy Award-winning trio are animated and transported to the North Pole, where they are joined by Rudolph in a stop-motion world reminiscent of the 40-year-old Christmas special. The group is shown recording in a studio, snowboarding and dancing with the most famous reindeer of all.

Nikon D2H and Fuji Finepix cameras were used by Head Gear (www.headgearanimation.com) to capture the characters' performances. The video was edited using a combination of Apple Final Cut Pro and Adobe After Effects.
