Back in January, we wrote about Ka-Ching Cartoon’s Flash animated short 3D Machine. I’ve now seen the 7-minute film, and Joost van den Bosch and Erik Verkerk have created an extremely unique short, and the process by which they created this eye-popping 3D experience is equally as unique. Below we start with the trailer for 3D Machine, and then we’re treated to 3 “making of” shorts. [3D-glasses optional]

The 3D MachineLast night at the International Film Festival Rotterdam, Joost van den Bosch and Erik Verkerk, the Dutch artists behind Ka-Ching Cartoons, debuted their new 7-minute Flash-animated short The 3D-Machine. Inspired by 50s monster movies, this film is actually produced in traditional 3D format (glassed encouraged, but not required), and the team used Photoshop and After Effects for the backgrounds and Premiere for the editing. The film is about “a professor who invents a machine that can bring everything he draws to life.”

You can view a trailer over at the Ka-Ching website.

Ka-Ching Cartoons, which is run by Dutch animators Joost van den Bosch and Erik Verkerk, has recently assembled a new show reel. The clip, which you can view below, features shots from Freaky Frankenbike Patrol, the title sequence from Skunk Fu, Mr. Medicine - the Musical, and the 8-bit episode from Skunk Fu, all of which were animated in Flash.
