The animated short “Catwalk – Black Cat Crossing” has been shipped on DVD in the CHIP magzine Jan 2010. There was a special HD article and they needed some indie films to illustrate the HD world.
Since this news are’t up to date there will be another CHIP HD special in May. The Catwalk film will be on this DVD as well.
This is just another stereo test but this time with two cameras rendered in Mental Ray.
This was a short test in Nuke to fake a Anaglyph view via the Pulfrich effect. I created a time offset for the right eye by two frames to fake the perspective for that eye. I will post real stereo frames in near future.
Some people asked for more making of stuff. Here’re some examples how I drew and organized the characters, buildings and props.
These are two of three images that made the 2th at the festival. Printed on A1 they did look very awesome

Some poeple asked me about the workflow. Here is an example.
‘Catwalk – Black Cat Crossing’ is a humorous animated short film that takes the viewer into a lovely and detailed designed comic city. There you’re going to witness a row of odd incidents that are obviously related to Matilda, a quite inconspicuous old lady.
