We are almost there..
on September 30th, 2010, by Pablo VazquezDo you recall Sintel’s line “Hey.. we are almost done.. shh.. sit still!” from the sneak peek video we posted long ago? 🙂
We’re working to get this out as soon as possible.
Join the waiting and after party with the Durian crew!
We’ll be at #blenderdurian on IRC (FreeNode).
You can also join the party via: http://graphicall.org/sintel/
Thank you all community, you’re awesome. Let’s raise the hype!
An extremely excited Durian Team 🙂

Dudes, I’m excited. I sure hope that YouTube features this.
September 30th, 2010 at 5:55 pm
:’)
Congrats! Can’t wait to start playing with my very own baby dragon rig.
September 30th, 2010 at 5:56 pm
Geez, would it be out there within 3 hours? I want to buy some popcorn and maybe wine, waiting for this was soooo looooong. But even before seeing know it’s worth it!
September 30th, 2010 at 5:57 pm
come on…why do you do a brocken link on that page do simulate that you´d be ready?
September 30th, 2010 at 5:57 pm
Can’t wait to see it.
September 30th, 2010 at 5:59 pm
mk1, chill man, take a cool pill…consider it foreplay 🙂
September 30th, 2010 at 6:01 pm

September 30th, 2010 at 6:04 pm

September 30th, 2010 at 6:05 pm
PARTY 😀
September 30th, 2010 at 6:06 pm
Today,
after almost a year of work a dream has become true!
I want to thank everyone who has helped in this project, every artist, every sponsor, every developer.
Today, the Blender Community is making history!
September 30th, 2010 at 6:08 pm
foreplay xD xD
anyway, what is so difficult on this? the uploading? the converting?
btw in what animation format did you origionally made Sintel?
September 30th, 2010 at 6:10 pm
did you think about that I´m in a different time zone an dbnot planning to stay awake till midnight to see that movie…and besides…the movie has been ready since about one month. I do not really believe there never was any time to do these tests…but maybe you´re right. I waited so long, I probably can wait another day…
September 30th, 2010 at 6:13 pm
Mk1, Im thinking of sending the men in white coats to check up on you.
You on the edge man 🙂 Your like a proud father who about to realise many a sleepness night is going to be had…..
September 30th, 2010 at 6:14 pm
There’s only one thing: The movie is much too short, it feels like it is only 1 minute long… (Sorry again, I’m going offline now.)
September 30th, 2010 at 6:16 pm
Yay, it’s almost here! But how almost?
September 30th, 2010 at 6:16 pm
on line release is today it´s so exited
September 30th, 2010 at 6:16 pm
no need to…I have just decided to not look at this site during the next hour…
September 30th, 2010 at 6:17 pm
mk1: The movie was ”finished” the day before it went to Cineco.
September 30th, 2010 at 6:17 pm
I hope it’s a happy ending.
Please be a happy ending.
September 30th, 2010 at 6:27 pm
We relly need conference mode!
September 30th, 2010 at 6:30 pm
@ nick tate:
Yeah! Of course it is! Sintel puts on eye camouflage, sets lots of traps, and in the end the little dragon is flying on the end of a piece of string….. like a kite…… erm……. er…… am I a bit time loose here?
September 30th, 2010 at 6:31 pm
omg, TIME FOR MODERATION
September 30th, 2010 at 6:36 pm
Not that I want the blender team stopping work to moderate IRC, but OMG someone needs to start banning/kicking
September 30th, 2010 at 6:38 pm
Let’s raise the hype? More hype? You’re killing us…
September 30th, 2010 at 6:44 pm
@Ton, this would be a great time to ask for emails and start a open movie newsletter! That way you could send out a notice for your next project.
September 30th, 2010 at 6:44 pm
And one more thing, if it’s not too late, don’t forget to release on thepiratebay.
September 30th, 2010 at 6:54 pm
!!!
September 30th, 2010 at 6:55 pm
>450 ppl in IRC!!
September 30th, 2010 at 7:03 pm
Just release the film already…. Why are you making us wait?..
September 30th, 2010 at 7:13 pm
Blaaaa… slipping into sugar induced coma… shouldn’t have eaten so much durian…
September 30th, 2010 at 7:19 pm
they are probably happy to see how interested everybody is. I guess they will wait to 23:59 UTC when nobody reaises it…
September 30th, 2010 at 7:19 pm
Looking forward to this. You have my highest respect for your dedication to animation with Blender.
September 30th, 2010 at 7:21 pm
Everyone… this is *the* time to support Blender…
Like it / Friend it / Vote for it on every service you have an account at (especially Youtube). Lets make this thing THUNDER right out of the gate! 😀
September 30th, 2010 at 7:23 pm
Any info on the file size(s)?
September 30th, 2010 at 7:26 pm
I hope the servers are ready to tackle the extra load on the website 🙂
By the way, speaking of youtube featuring, how about trying to get this featured on thepiratebay.org? Seriously, an independent movie was featured on their website a little while ago, and no doubt that’s a significant boost on viewcounts.
September 30th, 2010 at 7:31 pm
I will second the Piratebay idea. I am certain that will increase the likelihood of people finding/downloading it.
Or was this already on the “to-do” list?
September 30th, 2010 at 7:40 pm
I just logged a message with Slashdot.org, hopefully it wont hit the front page for a while 🙂
September 30th, 2010 at 7:41 pm
Pirate bay? Do you honestly think that blender wants to be associated with a pirate site? geez… A torrent would be nice but piratebay? haha, i don’t think so.
September 30th, 2010 at 7:41 pm
635 in IRC! Let’s crack 1000! 😀
September 30th, 2010 at 7:50 pm
Ton: I know its a bit late, what with everything going on 🙂
You got a web camera you can switch on at the BF, IRC is going nuts

Now the server can be called “crashed”.
October 14th, 2010 at 9:19 pm
Omg I almost cried when I watched it. I showed it to my class and they are hoping that you make it into a full lenth movie. You should I would pay like a million dollars to watch it in theatures. Sorry for the spelling lol
