Open Movie

The following announcement was made on the Project Orange website:
The Blender Foundation and the Netherlands Media Art Institute, Montevideo/Time Based Arts, have agreed on producing a 3D Animated Movie Short, to be created with the Open Source 3D suite Blender and other OS tools such as Yafray, Python, Verse, Gimp, and Cinepaint.

The resulting movie will be released under an open source license -- including all the production files and software created to make the movie. The movie will be released on DVD and to theatres -- of course, it will also be available to download from the internet -- most likely as a torrent -- legally. If it's entertaining, people may actually shell out money to watch it. But that's hardly the point. It's about the art open source movement changing the world. If you have talent, apply at the Project Orange site -- they're looking for contributors.
