Catch Santa on Film with Capture the Magic !!
9:59 AM Posted by The Mom Jen
What do you do to keep the spirit of Santa's visit alive? I normally dust the floor with some ashes, leave crumbs by the cookie plate, and spill a bit of milk by the fireplace to let the kids know that Santa indeed visited our home on Christmas Eve. Now, with the magic and brilliance of Capture the Magic, you can have photo-proof that Santa brought toys to your girls and boys!!With a clever, three-step process, www.CaptureTheMagic.com allows parents to (1) upload a photo of your own living room decorated for Christmas, and (2) drag and drop in a stunningly realistic image of Santa into the room (over 200 poses to choose from) then (3) download it to share with children on Christmas morning. Check out all the great examples, you can even include your pet in the photo!!
My take: It's incredibly easy to use and the whole process takes but a few minutes. I have a bit of a background using Photoshop, so it helped me greatly ease through the process. But, if you don't use photo editing software, there are smart HELP boxes to walk you through the process step by step to a perfect Christmas picture. The Santa poses are done so realistically they set-up that perfect "gotcha moment" inside your very own home. The photo becomes instantly downloadable so you don't have to wait for mail and this can be done up to Christmas morning! Here's my photo...
The photos are a inexpensive $9.95 for the first print, the second is FREE, and any after that are $.99 each!

Those are so cool. isigned up and love that they have views from behind and a blurry function to help maintain the illusion of the magic of Santa. This would hopefully buy me atleast one more year of belief from my daughter :)

We did this for my niece last year and she loved it. I had planned on doing it for my son this year now that he is a bit older. I love how you can pick out your santa figure and place him anywhere in your house. We had him leaning over my niece while she slept in bed last year.

This is so neat. I like that on the site you can chose whatever pose would suit your living room. My kids would find this so cool and continue to believe in Santa for a long time.
