Last sunday was the private screening of Sintel (also known as the Blender Institute’s Project Durian). After being involved in the project for the last 5 months it was simply epic to view the nearly finished film on the big screen with full surround sound. Sadly, today, half the team is getting on a plane home. And as for myself… I will help wrap up a few last things, and perhaps create a tutorial or two to conclude my own involvement for now. The project has been life changing, the crew will be missed dearly. On to the next adventure! I hope to see you all there!

After a lot of long days, and sleepless nights for some of the team, we finally released the trailer. It’s great to be able to show the world some of what we’ve been up to. More to come!
First week at the Durian Open Movie project
Wednesday, March 24th, 2010
Hi all. Today I had my second full day at the Blender Institute with the Durian team. Find out more about the project here. I already wrote some scripts, found some bugs, been working on a big city scene, played soccer with the guys, and fed the ducks with Nathan. All in all a great start. The photo was taken by Colin Levy.
Joining the Durian team
Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010
After I moved to Amsterdam last weekend, Ton Roosendaal of the Blender Institute asked me to drop by for a chat. I’m thrilled to report he asked me to join the Durian team for the latter stages of the Blender open movie project. The news should hit the official website next week. I’ll be starting in 2 weeks after I finish a couple of my running projects. In the meantime I’ll already join the weeklies, and try to learn as much about Blender 2.5, and the state of the project as I can.
