Get Blender graphics on 35mm film
on August 24th, 2010, by Ton
We’ve delivered 2 minutes of dpx files, straight from Blender sequencer, to the film lab Cineco here in Amsterdam. The first digital projection in their grading room looked brilliant! (Gigantic new Barco projector). It’s now being moved to the Arri Laser to make 35 mm film, anamorphic 2.35:1 aspect. In a few days we’ll get a screening. Exciting!
Thanks to Blender’s linear workflow now, we should be able to give them perfect linear DPX files, for them to convert to wonderful film colors. However, it’s never as simple as it seems!
Film Credits, version 2
on August 20th, 2010, by TonBased on all feedback sent to the shop at blender.org address, the credit list has been updated. Please visit the page to check if this has been correctly handled. The list for people who bought the DVD after sept 15 last year will be posted here mid september.
I also need everyone’s help to get the credit for modelers corrected. We are not going to add nicknames in the film credit, only real ones. Below is the complete list of people we’ve used props from, mostly modeled during the modeling sprint. I’ve asked the blendswap.com maintainer to help as well 🙂
Post remarks about this below, or mail me (ton at blender org).
Sintel official premiere
on August 16th, 2010, by Ton
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!

Get Your Very Own Nathan!
on August 12th, 2010, by nathanHello! 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.

on August 5th, 2010, by dolf2 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!
