Parexel Animated Holiday Card Animation

I was approached by a design marketing firm, Orange Square, to work on this animated holiday card to be distributed to all of their employees of Parexel around the globe.  The direction was to give the card a more cinematic feel than the flash-based animated holiday cards of the past.  I worked with Art Director Leslie Mello who came up with the message and the rough visual idea to bring this shot to life.  Animated in After Effects and using Trapcode Particular plugin.
