rdfs:comment
  • Elephants Dream is a computer-generated short film that was produced almost completely using open source software, except for the modular sound studio Reaktor and the cluster that rendered the final production which ran Mac OS X. It premiered on March 24, 2006, after about 8 months of work. Beginning in September 2005, it was developed under the name Orange by a team of seven artists and animators from around the world. It was later renamed Machina and then to Elephants Dream after the way in which Dutch children's stories abruptly end.
  • Elephants Dream is a 10-minute computer animation by the Blender Foundation, created between 2005 and 2006 as a testing ground for the open-source 3D modeling software Blender. An old man named Proog guides a gaunt young man named Emo through what looks like a Clock Punk universe, extolling its many wonders and perils ? but can we take Proog's words at face value? The Mind Screw nature of the work has engendered much outlandish interpretation, while Word of God suggest the work is actually quite simple.

abstract
  • Elephants Dream is a 10-minute computer animation by the Blender Foundation, created between 2005 and 2006 as a testing ground for the open-source 3D modeling software Blender. An old man named Proog guides a gaunt young man named Emo through what looks like a Clock Punk universe, extolling its many wonders and perils ? but can we take Proog's words at face value? The Mind Screw nature of the work has engendered much outlandish interpretation, while Word of God suggest the work is actually quite simple. Elephants Dream is released under Creative Commons Attribution 3.0, and is downloadable at its own Web site. The Blender Foundation went on to make Big Buck Bunny. * 3D Movie: Thanks to its open-source nature, one fan was able to go back and re-render the whole film for 3D. * Beware the Nice Ones: Both characters, but Emo is especially scary. * Combat Tentacles * Clock Punk * Everything Trying to Kill You: At least according to Proog. * Mental World * Mind Screw * Word Salad Title: The short may be a dream or may not be, but it definitely has nothing to do with elephants. (Unless you take it to be a jibe at republicans.)
