Apricot - Open-Source Blender Game
,----[ Quote ]
| Apricot is the newest project from the Blender Institute with the goal to
| build an open-source game instead of a Blender video this time. The
| characters used in the game are from the Big Buck Bunny movie, the last free
| movie developed using Blender under the name Project Peach.
|
| The other two projects developed by the Blender Institute are project Orange
| and project Peach, which developed the free short-length movies Elephants
| Dream and, respectively, Big Buck Bunny.

See the links below. The film not only improved Blender (free software) but it
also produces computer games, other/derivative films and free objects like
models and audio.

Big Buck Bunny builds a better Blender
,----[ Quote ]
| Big Buck Bunny is the colorful product of the Peach open movie project: an
| animated short released online and on DVD. But in addition to the 'toon
| itself, Peach has produced an altogether different yield: improvements to the
| Blender 3-D modeling application. Like its predecessor Project Orange, Peach
| pushed the open source tool forward with the demands of a real-world media
| production, in a way that hobbyist usage cannot. Could other free software
| projects use the same model?

| movie using a regular dual-layer DVD disc (.avi and .mov formats).

Creative Collaboration: The Open Source Filmmaking Experiment
,----[ Quote ]
| With new collaborative tools available, some filmmakers are opening up their
| work to the participation of others. Tapping into the creative power of the
| crowd can take a film in an entirely new direction -- one that the creator
| hadn't even envisioned.

| Creative Commons, which gives users the option of opening up the rights to
