World’s First Open Source Movie
Watching the youtube My PC IS On Fire- Dell Laptop Tribute video I was intrigued at the video behind the silly song. After checking into the credits at the end of the show They took the video from the opensource movie called elephants dream and put a song over the top of it.
Elephants Dream is created by the Orange Open Movie Project, co-production of Montevideo and Blender Foundation both of which are located in Amsterdam.
The film is created by using totally open source software. One of them that they used was a program called Blender. I checked it out today and it looks like something I would really like to get my hands on. There are plenty of tutorials to boot. I will probably give it a good workin over within the next few months.
The Elephants dream site says:
the secondary goal is to research efficient ways to increase quality of Open Source projects in general.
The film itslef is really neat in itself. (Why do we still call them films??). At their site you can download the movie in several formats including an HD version. They also have “The Making of” series, and production videos. There is “making of” already posted at youtube.
Stop by and check it out!
That’s awesome, thanks for sharing!
