Short Animation Film #39 : Elephants Dream

Elephants Dream is a short-animation film in 3D lasting about ten minutes and produce by the Blender Foundation with only open source software (just like Sintel that we previously featured). It tells us the story of two characters, Proog and Emo, evolving in a world modelled by their ideas. The craziest environments become real and the most insane physic rules apply to this world. If Proog loves this world, Emo is more perplexed and would like to find an exit. The original story of this short-film has allowed the team to make really what they want on the artistic side, which is strange and captivating at the same time. It has been produced by Ton Roosendaal (founder of Blender) and directed Bassan Kurdali, accompanied with a large team. Elephants Dreams was released in 2006 but it’s still a reference and a great showcase for the open source world.
