For Christmas 2019, NBC Olympics wanted a festive post with a Tokyo 2020 twist. STN Digital brought CrispFX in to animate Santa as a gymnast.
The approach
Santa runs a beam routine and sticks a backflip dismount straight down the chimney, then it all lands on an animated Merry Christmas title and the Tokyo 2020 logo.
