Children can log on to http://www.santaspeaking.com/TrackSanta.aspx on
Christmas Eve to watch this big event at precisely 12:01 PM, no matter where
the viewer is -- or what their time zone is, they will see Santa's Sleigh and
the Reindeer Team as they leap into the air to start their Christmas journey
to visit children.
Kids will have full access to the Santa Tracker and can view details of
Santa's trip via Santa's Radar Meter, Flight Plan, and Santa's Sleigh Systems.
They will see how many houses Santa has visited, how many cookies he has
eaten, and watch the Sleigh-odometer to see how fast the reindeer are
traveling.
The Big Departure video was created by Vision Animation Studios and Run
Level 5, film production artists who specialize in CG special effects for
feature films such as Sweet Dreams, a full length digitally animated movie for
kids scheduled for theaters Christmas 2006. Their work can also be seen in
movies such as Burn, Trail of the Condor, and The House; video games such as
View Point, Jaxe of Fluid Games and also commercials such as HYPA Sport, and
Digi Bee products. "We'll make even the Santa skeptics believe!" says Mike
Herzog, owner of Vision Animation Studios.
"We want parents to know that it is extremely important to visit the site
early so they can take the 'Pre-Flight' check on the Santa Tracker to ensure
that the computer the kids are using is synchronized with Santa's computer,"
says Anne Gaskell, owner of SantaSpeaking.com. Parents will need to follow
through the steps of the Pre-Flight check to ensure that their browser is set
properly, and that the time and date match Santa's time and date exactly.
