what is good christmas content
I was asked to do a party this saturday and they wantsome christmas content. However - I have NO idea what I could use in a club environment which isn't totally clich? or kitsch.
I have a clip with some snowflakes flying around but that's about all I have at the mo... Good ideas highly apreciated...

Yeah, omigad, just go to a shopping district with a camera. Most towns have some sort of Winter Wonderland. Shoot everything extreme cls-up. X-mas is about schmaltz and blinka-blinka so how can you go wrong?
Skip the 3D renders. Not worth the time.

caroussels are good for loops
 , shopping malls often have unbelievable decoration but they may not allow cameras, so do it discreetly. fx over the shit, starglow etc and youre done.

Christmas lights out of focus, slow panning.
Presents with animated patterns on the wrapping paper. Sped up video of people sitting on Santas lap. You certain to catch plenty of 20+ aged peeps sitting on Santa. Sexy lips eating candy cane. Presents being opened and weird things popping out. Very big snowflakes (after Effects 3d layers) with diamond sparkles flicker flicker. SnowBall fights. Sledding up and down sped up.

Look around here - http://www.santarchy.com/ - for videos or do a video search for "Santacon".
To beat the rights controlled shooting situations, put your girlfriend or a kid between the camera and what you want to shoot. They don't even need to be in frame.

christmas
I played a good mix of silly cartoons and nostalgic clips. I think think I got a christmas parade of some sort off archive.org.
http://www.kino.com/video/item.php?film_id=632 This looks awesome, but I haven't gotten booked for an xmas party, so I haven't had an excuse. There are all kinds of cult films if you're doing a crazy xmas party: Black Christmas Christmas Evil ELVES! with the guy that played Grizzly Adams fighting Nazi Elves Santa and the Ice Cream Bunny And that stupid Jingle all the Way movie with Arnold has some silly crap in it that is funny if you live in California.
