Become an Animated Character in The Herald of Heaven

Your face will appear on a character in the film… the challenge is finding it.

Have a character designed after your likeness and hidden somewhere within the world of The Herald of Heaven.

Our animation team will use reference photos you provide to design a background character inspired by your features and include it within the film. Whether among a crowd, a marketplace, a gathering, or another moment within the film.

But there’s a twist.

When the film is released, you’ll need to find your character in the movie.

Think of it like Where’s Wally or Where’s Waldo.

You may have to watch the film more than once to spot yourself.

How It Works

1) Purchase this product.

2) Send us reference photos so we can design your character.

3) Our team will incorporate your likeness into the film as a background character.

Reference photos will be requested after purchase and submitted via a link provided after checkout.

The Challenge

When the film is released, the challenge begins.

If you believe you have found your character in the film, email us at:

[email protected]

Include:

• Your name

• Your email used for purchase

• The original ID/reference photos you sent us

• The timestamp of the film (hour, minute, second)

• A description of where you appear in the frame

Special Reward

The first person who correctly identifies their character in the film will receive:

• A limited edition film poster signed by the cast and filmmakers

• A framed still image from the film showing their character

• The original concept artwork used to design their character

• A Special Thanks credit in the end credits of The Herald of Heaven

• A 30-minute private call with the director to discuss the film

• A production bundle booklet featuring selected storyboards, concept artwork, and behind-the-scenes assets from The Herald of Heaven

• A signed hardcover copy of the official screenplay

About Hugh Lloyd

I'm creating an animated feature film, The Herald of Heaven.

The Herald of Heaven is a feature-length animated epic that reimagines the Nativity through the eyes of Gabriel. I have long been fascinated by the contrast between the humble, earthly Nativity we know and the immense unseen reality Scripture places behind it.

My desire with this film is to uncover the spiritual stakes behind the familiar Christmas story. I want audiences to be re-enchanted by the Nativity and to see it as the extraordinary prologue to the Gospel story.

Created first for ages 8–14, the story speaks directly to young imaginations while carrying a depth that resonates with the adults watching alongside them. It’s a layered narrative designed to grow with its viewers, revealing new dimensions of meaning each time it's experienced.

Ultimately, I believe The Herald of Heaven has the potential to become a new Christmas classic that families return to year after year.
