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!"
will it have Paris Hilton in it?

the word 'open' is the next 'i(insertActionVerbHere)'
I mean, just because something is 'open' dosent mean its good. In the words of Dana Carvey impersonating Ross Perot on SNL:
'You cant pee into a Mr. Coffee and get Tasters Choice'
its like the word 'organic'. you can stick the word 'organic' on something and charge ten times as much and people will buy it. I would bet that 90% of the people who do so dont even know what 'organic' on a label means.
Just like 'open'.. do you think anyone who isn't a programmer or developer or i.t. savvy knows what open is?
