Open Source movie -- Elephants Dream

No, it's not a movie about open source software; it's a movie made (almost) completely with open source tools and on an open operating system (Ubuntu Linux). I just downloaded the movie and watched it and it's stunning! The 3D graphics are amazing. These guys have really put some time and effort into creating a realistic world. Check it out for yourself. It's called Elephants Dream.


Using free 3D graphics software called Blender, this crew of open source believers has created a work of art that I didn't know was possible for "nobodies" to make. It looks like a big-studio, Hollywood production. The backgrounds, the character animation, the sound design -- it's all top notch. A wonderful achievement.


It's about 10 minutes long, and I have no idea what the hell is going on plotwise (there are no elephants for one thing), but it looks and sounds gorgeous all the way through. Well worth the download!
