Blender Game Engine Tech Demo

,----[ Quote ]
| For several months the Blender and Crystal Space projects have been working 
| together to develop an open-source game they hope will be of a professional 
| quality and deliver an industry standard 3D gaming experience. This game, now 
| called Yo Frankie, was supposed to be released at the end of August, but that 
| deadline wasn't met. However, released now is the first technology demo for 
| the Blender Game Engine. This tech demo is playable and includes a small 
| level from Yo Frankie, but to be released soon will be a more game-oriented 
| demo that includes additional characteristics and game-play options.

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?

| one version containing the "best DVD quality widescreen format" (both NTSC
| and PAL are available), while the second will feature an HD version of the
| 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
| their work, has done much to facilitate open source creative work, including
| filmmaking,
