Better late than never! Worked on this too much, there's three variants and still no sound. But thought I'd post here before moving on. I learned how to do a new kind of background, perhaps first of its kind: "VR Bokeh" where I make a spherical background HDRI for each eye, slightly out of focus using Photoshop Field Blur for simulating the camera. The best colors came in version 2 but you can't put anything too close to the camera and the table on the left is too close.
Back to suds after a little break.
xmasGrind is 4K60, xmashoptest is only 2 frames as I tested the new background idea and saw the table, and is 5K30. The "final" is xmasdome, in 5K30 and 5K60.
