Composite node is like this and I posted a script about the pixel base displacement-map used in the animation.

      Lots of red and blue elements… are those actually stereoscopic? I haven’t got a pair of 3D glasses to check myself…

      Lovely art style, very cool animation — especially when the girl turns back into the cat.

      Great vid. I usually don’t like the 3D/2D scetch look but I think you pulled it off well. congrats on the good work.

      @ Gryphon I agree. My fav part as well

      Great work… I like how the stereoscopic adds that extra little effect.

      Can someone post a non flash version of the video so I can watch it too?

    • Big Fan

      Really liked it.
      You combined the various elements very well.
      It was artful and entertaining and a worthy companion to the music.
      I wish I could be as competant using nodes.
      Please keep making and showing these works :)

      Can i say “wow”?
      i can’t? :(
      WOW!! (sorry :D)
      the (artistically) computer generated graphics is great…although i don’t like too much the real life clips…

      This video was done very well. I hope to use Blender for making music videos of my own songs.

      Awesome work once again, ekakiya!

      When it came to the end, I wanted it to go on longer… but then thought of how some of life’s very best moments are those that are short and sweet.

      This is one of those moments… very tasty indeed.

      Cheers!

      Like “gundampilot” I would love a non-Flash version.
      I do NOT ever install Adobe Flash on any of my PCs (you can call it religion – I don’t care)

      Thank you DiThi. The song and video were nice too.

    • Anders Otte

      I also want to thank you, DiThi. Have just seen the video it’s rather good,
      and it gives me a flashback to when I was singing in a choir in Hilleroed, Denmark
      with a very skilled Japanese conductor.
      So thank you very much!
      Regards, Anders Otte.

      Not the best music (don’t care for the voice/style, it’s pretty boring,) but it’s pleasant, and when the girl starts running and turns into a cat – man, that’s great. And seeing her later – wow, very impressive work. Was she made in Blender as well, or just the environments? Nice interspersing of live-action footage.
