Blender's Open Movie Project

MrAndrews writes "I just read on the Blender home page that Ton Roosendaal is going to be creating an open movie project called "Orange", which should kick off development sometime in the fall: "The Blender Foundation and the Netherlands Media Art Institute, Montevideo/Time Based Arts, have agreed on producing a 3D Animated Movie Short, to be created with the Open Source 3D suite Blender and other OS tools such as Yafray, Python, Verse, Gimp, and Cinepaint." Moreover: "... the resulting movie - including all the production files and software - will be published under an open public license." Open source entertainment is another step closer to reality!"

      Allthough I hate those "I wish I had mod-points" posts, just let me say this:

      I wish I had mod-points.

      This was surely the best uncalled-for post in a long time. Thank you Sir (or Madam, or whatever.)

    Ever play that game as a kid where you go around in a circle and you make a sentence by each kid adding one word? It's just like that, only with animation.

  8. reminds me of writing class by Daktaklakpak · · Score: 2, Funny

    In a writing class we took, the teacher basically told the whole class to write a story. One person would write a page and then hand it off to the next person. All I remember is that the first person started the story off in some lab at a university, with some professor looking for funding or something, but eventually it morphed into a ninja/kungfu thriller with an ending that involved the professor blowing up her former lover with a rocket launcher.
