Big Buck Bunny

This evening I was having a conversation with Mike, the DP for the film I'm working, about CG, the film industry and festivals. He told me that he followed the Blender Foundation and that they had made and released a film for free...

It was made using Blender; a free and open source 3D software, then licensed it to be completely open. This means you can do all sorts of things to the movie, download it, copy it, sell it, edit it and anything else you want without any limitations or legal issues. It's quite an amazing concept so I had to check out the film.

When I found it I noticed that they are the same people who made Elephants Dream; another stunning short film created entirely in Blender.
