Blender project announced their production of short animated film, Elephant Dream, in 2005 and the film is released on DVD and Bit Torrent Download in 2006. Rather than following Disney's Pixar fantasy, Blender Project used European social-realist surrealist fantasy for film's visual. Its modeling, texture, set design, lighting source, and camera works make this film a piece of perfect art work. However, the characters' movement is somewhat awkward and makes it more like in-game animation.
The most significant thing about this project is the license which the film is released under: BSD-Style Creative Commons "attribution only" BY license. This allows the viewers who are not comfortable with character animations to use source files for the movie and improve animation using their skills.
The story sounds confusing and lame. However, the viewers' interaction with the movie seems awesome. I am interested in the graphic animations and if I get the chance I would like to watch the movie and tweak it a little bit to see how much better I can make this film.
