Hi-Def Yule Log Will Have Your Grandma Calling 9-1-1
If you're like us, you've long given up watching the televised Yule Log for want of a truer orange fire, flamier flames, and more textured firewood. Finally, Santa has the high-definition holiday blaze for you.
And according to a release tossed under our door, he's bundled it with a couple other, newer projects that people apparently asked for — retrofitted with perfectly balanced surround sound designed to replicate your cozy forest cabin burning down in the middle of a blizzard:
While the most famous televised Yule Log has been airing since 1966, iN DEMAND’s version stands out as the only originally produced hi-def Yule Log. iN DEMAND’s Yule Log features a crackling fire and is sure to add warmth this holiday season, even for those without a fireplace. Winter Green shows a snowy, pine forest setting that viewers can enjoy without catching frostbite. Snowman features a snowman dressed in top hat, scarf and neckerchief (carrot nose included) regally withstanding a windy, snowy storm. All three offerings, accompanied by holiday music, were filmed with HD-cameras and are presented in 1080i picture and 5.1 sound.
The hardcore among you will still hold-out for a sparkling new transfer with director commentary, or perhaps the 3-D IMAX version that will change holiday moviegoing forever. But for us at Defamer HQ, where the Yule Log is often the only holiday viewing our dungeonmaster allows in lieu of heat and electricity, this is a bit of a milestone. And Snowman? Here we thought media was dying! Dickens would be so proud.
