Durian

As a texture and a previz’ test, I did a 2D paint-over ( in Gimp ) on simple AO white rendering of the 3D mesh of Angela. I’m happy to share you some WIP pictures and the result.

Alrighty!

Since before the Blender Conference we’ve been working to improve and condense the script– and we’ve ended up restructuring the film somewhat.  So the first minute has changed dramatically!

Here I give you the script and temporary breakdown for the new First Minute of “Sintel.”

We’re gonna do a few tweaks and polishes today, and then the script will be locked!

Edit: Here’s a PDF version of the breakdown, for those who requested it.

Hello!

Sorry for the lack of updates recently. Yesterday was the last day of the Blender Conference and we’re all still recovering!

But we haven’t forgotten about you. We have a number of posts coming up to go over some of the stuff we showed off at the Durian talk on Sunday.

But first things first. For those of you who missed the live stream, we revealed a lot about the movie–including the (working) title!

BAM! Congrats to “D” for guessing the title right. You deserve a prize! Perhaps a free DVD?

And we also revealed the final character design for our main character– whose name, coincidentally, is Sintel as well!

BAM! Done by the amazing David Revoy of course.

Here’s the video I slapped together to kick off the talk:

And here’s a quick video to introduce the work we’ve done on the first minute of the film! It’s rough, but hopefully gives you a glimpse of some of the stuff we’ve been doing. All of this material has already been cut– but we feel this has been an excellent exercise.

Also check out the PDF of this sequence in first draft of the script!

Expect more updates from us soon.
