    Here's an animated "Season's Greetings" bumper from WSNS Channel 44, starting off with snowflakes falling, and where a pair of trees evolves into the "44" logo.

    Directed and produced by Kurt Mendelsohn. Camerawork by Ron Vasser.

    Kurt said about the making of this, "Took at least 10 passes to layer it all together. Connie made several vertical boards of snowflakes on black. We recorded Ron's camera slowly tilting up on the first one, irised low, then played it back and keyed the next live camera tilt over it, slightly tighter and brighter, and so on. The "trees" graphic was a a tilt shot between the 3rd and 4th snowflake pass (I think) to give it some depth. Took a while!"

    Voiceover by Don Ferris.

    This aired on local Chicago TV during the holiday season of 1978.
