Render- a CAT-atrophe

This short film was created as my thesis project together with my teammates at Istituto Europeo di Design (CG Animation). I was in charge of animation and took the lead on camera work and direction.
Here’s the plot:
On a stormy night, two 3D characters come to life due to a malfunction in a CG student’s computer.
After a series of misadventures, a mysterious figure forces them to flee and try to return to where they came from.
Will they succeed?
