This year's theme of Melbourne-based Pause festival is "Different Perspective" starting in February. For massive opening titles (for somehow revealed before the start) they invited Chinese CG artist Zaoeyo

“The whole idea was inspired by an anime called “Digimon Adventure”, whose opening scenes show the different angle of a night city and digital creatures.Therefore, we decide to focus on a different angle or perspective of empty cities, to express a feeling of isolation, despite the fact we live in these spaces. The idea of using a cat for guidance is borrowed from an indie game called “HK”, which will enhance the feeling of isolation between human and their environment. Also this is all CGi made in Cinema 4D with Octane Render.”
