But Gu, you’d miss the credits!
September 30th, 2010 at 4:06 pm
Gu? What did you commit?? :O
Maybe can someone bring a portable DVD player during a visiting moment?
September 30th, 2010 at 4:07 pm
And you think youve got problems (Jail hah), ive got to cook the tea at 18:00 UTC

When the police finally do bust in, I’m sure they’ll be more intrigued with the epic film the Gu will be watching, than apprehending him… regardless of the crime. 😉
September 30th, 2010 at 4:13 pm
Please can you make it at least 15:00 UTC? I want to see it today!

Congrats on the premiere!
Can’t wait to see it.
Both happy and proud that you folks manage to not only pull off this cool short film, but rewrote a software package in the midst of it. LOL!
Thanks to Ton, the Sintel Team, the Blender Foundation, and the Blender community (testy bug squashers) for all the hard work.
Much appreciated. Now get some sleep!

210th!
Can’t wait!
September 30th, 2010 at 4:36 pm
So I think there´s no use in seeing it today…
September 30th, 2010 at 4:39 pm
“Alright… should we put the downloads up?”
“Noo no. Not just yet. You know it will only be a minute or two until they crash the server.”
September 30th, 2010 at 4:45 pm
well… *spoiler* downloads will be ready in some minutes, at least they’re uploading the 2k versions… hehe…
September 30th, 2010 at 4:46 pm
Syron: how can you know?
September 30th, 2010 at 4:49 pm
If I’d tell you, the movie wouldn’t get uploaded. But everyone who does a little server administration knows how to get that information (and how to prevent these “exploits”).
September 30th, 2010 at 4:56 pm
Syron, your the man…really! consider yourself the dude
Go ply your trade elsewhere, your not wanted here.

I(TS UP!!!!

well 😛 back up 😛
September 30th, 2010 at 5:10 pm
Nevermind, it just went down 🙁
September 30th, 2010 at 5:12 pm
up again, but…there´s nothing on, so…it doesn´t matter…
September 30th, 2010 at 5:12 pm
Maybe too many people constantly hitting F5? 🙂
September 30th, 2010 at 5:15 pm
I hope they will publish the torrent links also on other sites of external servers cuz this one will most likley just crash….
September 30th, 2010 at 5:17 pm
Um… please don’t hit media.xiph.org
We aren’t using that server.
What you see there is the trailer from months ago.
I believe the xiph dudes will be encoding a version later on, but there’s no need to punish their server now.

i reccon this post will received 500 replys by the time its released online
September 30th, 2010 at 5:24 pm
Hi,
as perhaps I said other times, I’m able to help with catalan translations for the DVD release. I will repeat… but not so much 😉

September 30th, 2010 at 5:25 pm
maybe. But I hope we get a statement of the process soon, I guess that would lower the amount of comments per minute.
September 30th, 2010 at 5:27 pm
OK then, lets add one more to reach the 500!!!
By the way, just post to say Congratulations on the finished film project!!!
Cheers!

From what I see here, I pretty sure that if for some reason the online release got postponed for tomorrow or something like that, at least several hundred people would die form heart attack. (not to mention the several thousand destroyed F5 keys XD)
September 30th, 2010 at 5:31 pm
@muddymind: Yes, and I’ll be the first one who would do both things… 😀
September 30th, 2010 at 5:31 pm
Who needs F5? Opera autoreload! 🙂
September 30th, 2010 at 5:37 pm
Sintel Team, thank you very much for working on this project, and I’m very glad that it was finished / shown off before I head on off to BT for a few months.
It’ll be online when y’all get around to it, Media Conversions / setting up torrents / testing every step of the way is a very time consuming process, and us bitting at the bits isn’t going to help anything.
I’m heading out on a jog, with any luck, the testing process with be completed, and this wonderful film will be online!
<3
September 30th, 2010 at 5:38 pm
I wouldn´t die from a heart attack, but I would get VERY angry…
September 30th, 2010 at 5:38 pm
I’ll bet the AMS-IX will see an enormous peak on their statistics when when Sintel gets online! 😛
September 30th, 2010 at 5:44 pm
@Me: Who needs Opera just for auto reload? Bash FTW!

Thamior, that’s a wonderful idea … I was too lazy to go to the post office ; now you give me a good reason to !
Thanks 🙂

I was getting so desperate for the premiere that I slipped off to the market and reenacted the guard fight scene with the ever deadly durian fruit. Poor price checker didn’t know what hit him.
(That is what got me in this bind with the law. Count down for the Gu’s last minutes of freedom: 1 hr 10 min 13 sec)
I can’t wait to see Durian, Mango, and Kiwi when I get out!
September 30th, 2010 at 5:54 pm
Well Gu, time to hide somewhere! 😛
