Film Gimp Chalks Up Another Studio

Posted by timothy on Sunday February 16, 2003 @02:05PM from the hey-fellas-this-one-is-free dept.

Robin Rowe of the Film Gimp project has a piece running on NewsForge (also part of OSDN) that says "Film Gimp has recently been adopted by ComputerCafe, the fourth motion picture studio to use it in making feature films." Check out this recent post about Film Gimp to see some great screenshots of behind-the-scenes use. (And Rowe is also hoping you can get to the Linux Movies Track at Creative Cow West 2003, starting Tuesday in Los Angeles.) Update: 02/17 04:04 GMT by T : Brain rebooted, so I added the missing link.

Perhaps I'm being a bit fanatical, but why are "we" as a community happy about this? The motion picture industry folks are the same ones that are chastising us for using our Tivos, blasting the DeCSS stuff (and not helping with a "legal" opensource alternative to play DVDs) and are generally trying to make the lives of geeks and techies as painful as possible... and yet here we are, applauding and encouraging them to use open source software... /sigh
