CDR’s animation director Eb Hu (studio M.I.E) has recently finished an animation video for George Michael’s latest song ‘December Song – I Dream of Christmas’ . Below is a press release written by Ann Xiao.

George Michael’s latest music video “December Song – I Dreamed of Christmas” is a gift to the people whose hearts remember childhood dreams. Falling into a TV set, the little boy travels along the stream of lights, where he discovers a magical wonderland inhabited by imaginary characters. When the sun lights up the world in the Christmas melody, he sees the smile from his Mum. It’s a warm nostalgic story created with a haunting visual style as if reading through the colorful pages of an old children’s illustration book.
The creator of the December Song promo is a London based animation studio M.I.E, founded by EB Hu and Joe Marshall in 2009. Through a recommendation by Universal, MIE was given the brief to pitch for the work. George had a vision to transfer the song into an animated story, his main reference being :The Snowman’ from a personal perspective. MIE wrote the story of the boy’s journey and his relationship with his Mum, along with a few hand drawn colourful visuals.
