Sintel, the Durian Open Movie Project

Just had it confirmed from the Festival committee:

Official premiere Sintel: Monday 27 september, 19:30h, in Rembrandt theatre, Utrecht, the Netherlands.

This screening is part of the normal festival, for which tickets have to be reserved or purchased via the theatre or via the festival itself.

Netherlands Film Festival website. (program will only be available sept 9)

The DVD production has also started (slowly!), we plan to have this ready for print at the festival. I’m uncertain if we can have the DVDs available then already though… we’ll do our best!

In order to prevent crappy bootlegs to be posted, we’ll release the film a few days after the premiere as well, with sufficient mirrors for everyone to enjoy with us this milestone in Blender history!

Hello! Nathan here.

Since my job on Project Durian is over, I am now seeking work. Specifically I am looking for freelance, consulting, and teaching work. So if anyone has money they would like to throw at me in exchange for me doing stuff, please get in touch with me at [email protected]

I currently live in Seattle, WA. I am happy to work remotely, and I am more than happy to travel.

My primary skills are rigging and animation, but I am skilled in most other aspects of 3d production as well. And although my professional experience thus far has been in film production, I am interested in branching out to other applications of my talents, especially visualization work.

I have a new demo reel for 2010, but unfortunately I cannot make it publicly available at this time because it contains work from as-of-yet unreleased productions. But I am happy to provide it upon request.

2 weeks ago almost the entire team went home. You might be wondering, what we’ve all been doing… well here it is! Life away from Durian, for the most part.

Dolf has been making Soesjes!

Almost final…

Quickie one! Couple hours ago we reached 100.57% of final renders done! (yea we even passed it! 😛 )

We’re doing last minute encoding of the film right now, got the prints and t-shirts on the car, about to leave to Studio K for the pre-premiere.
We are so anxious, can’t wait! Next blogpost we’ll tell how things went 😀

OK time to leave, for those who can make it to the pre-premiere, see you there! let’s have some fun, party, drinks, blendergeekie time 😀

Gotta go, wish us luck! 😀

The Durian team is preparing for the screening of this Sunday, July 18th.

Worth to say this prints are actual 4K frames straight from the film, we resisted the temptation of painting over them 🙂
