Elephants Dream - 10 years of open movies
Channel: Blender
Date: 2016-03-24

Elephants Dream premiered exactly 10 years ago, on March 24th 2006 in an Amsterdam cinema, with a memorable afterparty in the nightclub "Blender".

Since then Blender Institute produced Big Buck Bunny, Yo Frankie, Sintel, Tears of Steel, Caminandes Gran Dillama, Cosmos Laundromat, Glass Half and Caminandes Llamigos. Each of these now is a landmark of Free Culture and each has helped to make Blender become the world's most popular free/open source 3D creation tool.

This short clip is a remake of the "elevator platform scene". We used the original models and animation and combined it with the latest render options of Blender. Even though we admit it looks quite weird, we as the makers are still tremendously proud of the achievement!
