The third open movie, Sintel, is coming out really soon and is in its last few weeks of development. Like the first two open movies, it is being produced by the Blender Foundation, inviting the best talents to work on it for six months in Amsterdam and introduces several more improvements to the Blender software. As an open movie, the guys creating it are not restricted as with commercial movies and have all the creative freedom they could have to create it. This time around, the third open movie will be an epic, action-adventure short movie set in a fictional fantasy setting.

Big Buck Bunny
How Much Is That Bunny in the Window?
Meanwhile, as I was looking for the SM/Nokia dropbox where I could dispose my old batteries, I was surprised to see Big Buck Bunny looping on some monitors of a computer store window. Not that I don’t want them to show it there, it’s great that they are. It’s just that Big Buck Bunny has been out for almost a year and a half now…
For those of you who also have no idea about Big Buck Bunny, it’s the second open movie project by the Blender Foundation after Elephants Dream (see To the (Open) Movies).
If you found this information useful, buy me a coffee.
