For Immediate Release

Elephants Dream, internet release of the first 3D ‘Open Movie’

(Blender Foundation, Amsterdam, the Netherlands) - The 3D animated short
‘Elephants Dream’ will today be released as a free and public download.
This is the final stage of a successfully completed Open Movie project
which has been community-financed, using only Open Source tools, and
opening up the movie itself as well as the entire studio database for
everyone to re-use and learn from. The movie and production files are
licensed as “Creative Commons Attribution 2.5″, which only requires
a proper crediting for public screening, re-using and distribution.

In the past weeks, the donating sponsors have received the dual DVD set of
this project in their mailbox. This DVD set remains for sale via the
blender.org e-shop as support product for future Open Movie projects. The
Blender Foundation is committed to start working on similar projects soon.

Elephants Dream is the culmination of the Orange Open Movie Project,
produced by the Blender Foundation and the Netherlands Media Art
Institute. The project was conceived to help develop and establish the
capabilities of the Blender 3D open source tool for the creation of cinema
quality animation.

The film tells the story of Emo and Proog, two people with different
visions of the surreal world in which they live. Viewers are taken on a
journey through that world, full of strange mechanical birds, stunning
technological vistas and machinery that seems to have a life of its own.

‘Elephants Dream’ features the voice talents of renowned Dutch movie
actors Tygo Gernandt and Cas Jansen, as well as an original score by
German composer Jan Morgenstern. The short brought together the talents of
a team of artists from countries as diverse as Syria, Germany, Australia,
Finland, and the Netherlands. In addition to the performances of the cast
and creative efforts of the lead artists, Elephants Dream has had the
assistance of hundreds of individuals across the world who contributed a
variety of work such as programming additional functionality for Blender,
creating textures used in some of the scenes, and providing international
translations for the DVD release.

The files have been released on two DVDs with the movie in PAL, NTSC and
HD formats, a making-of documentary, and all of the studio files. The DVDs
were shipped in early May 2006. As promised, shortly after, the movie and
database of source material is now available for public download as well.

Director: Bassam Kurdali (Syria /USA),
Art Director: Andreas Goralczyk (Germany)
