Big Buck Bunny: open content movie
by Vimal Kumar 06 Jun '08

06 Jun '08

Dear Friends, The Amsterdam based 'Blender Institute' announced release of the short 3D animation movie 'Big Buck Bunny'. "The primary intent of the movie was to stimulate the development of open source 3D software" said producer and Institute director Ton Roosendaal, "But the result equals on artistic level as well as on technical ingenuity the quality of what you would expect from large animation studios". The movie differentiates itself mostly by its totally open character. Not only open source tools such as the 3D suite Blender were used to create the movie, but also the movie itself - including all assets as used in the animation studio - will be freely accessible for everybody to reuse, to learn from it or just to enjoy it. The promotion of Open Content creation and distribution is one of the main goals of the Creative Commons, the organization that created the 'Creative Commons' licenses, which have been widely adopted by artists, musicians, and other creative individuals who wish to freely share their creative endeavors. Blender Institute in Amsterdam is one of the first companies worldwide exploiting Open Content professionally and commercially. Big Buck Bunny is a comedy about a well-tempered rabbit "Big Buck", who finds his day spoiled by the rude actions of the forest bullies, three rodents. In the typical 1950ies cartoon tradition Big Buck then prepares for the rodents a comical revenge. You can download the movie here, http://www.bigbuckbunny.org/ -- Vimal Kumar V. Asst. Librarian Asian School of Business Technopark, Trivandrum-695 581 Web: www.asb.edu.in/vimal/ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- "I forget what I was taught.
