Hehe, defining "this" might be a good idea. Also, I think whatever it

Subject: [Bf-marketing] new site maintainer needed
Message-ID: <584fe5640603081745t671a655dy2e4cc2f35db4adfa@mail.gmail.com>
A couple of months back Bart stepped down as the web maintainer. The
plan was to put out an annoucement to the bf-webcontent list to see if
there was someone else willing to take over the responsibilities.
Unfortunately that hasn't happened yet, and has largely been my fault - doh!
vizzy (verblendet on irc) has extended an offer to help. It would
probably be good to have additional individuals so that we don't have
a single person bottleneck. Also to avoid burnout from one person
doing all the unfun stuff :)
Personally I'd like to move as much content as is reasonable from the
website CMS side of things to the wiki side of things - in my mind it
would be a good idea to move all of the developer documentation, all
of the tutorial links, and the script links section over to the wiki.
As to the main website I'm sure that there are changes and requests
that Ton would like done as well.
If you are interested in helping out I would appreciate you emailing a
brief description of your background and experience to me.
All decisions ultimately Tons to make. This might be discussed at
this Sundays meeting, I'll try and confirm for certain by Saturday
afternoon.

Elephants Dream, world premiere of first 3D 'Open Movie' in Amsterdam
Friday March 24, 2006
Today the 3D animated short movie "Elephants Dream" has been premiered
in cinema Ketelhuis in Amsterdam. This ten minute short tells the story
of Emo and Proog, two people with different visions on the surreal
world they live in. The voice acting by Dutch renowned movie actors
Tygo Gernandt and Cas Jansen, has inspired the team of animators to
bring two exceptional characters to life. On music by German composer
Jan Morgenstern, the viewer is taken on a journey through strange and
desolate landscapes consisting of machine parts and robotic birds.
This project - nicked 'Orange' - has been initiated by the Blender
Foundation, with as main target to bring together a group of talented
artists to validate, test and help improving the Open Source Blender 3D
suite. Six people have been selected to come over to Amsterdam, and
work for seven months in the Netherlands Media Art Institute to execute
the project. Assisted by Blender's online developers community the
roadmap for the software has gained focus especially in the area of
character animation tools and the entire rendering and compositing
pipeline for film production. Results of this development will be part
of the upcoming Blender 2.42 release in May.
The target to only use Open Source for the creation of a theatre
quality movie also meant a strong involvement of other projects, such
as Gimp for painting, Python for scripting and render-farm control, and
Subversion for the studio database and version management.
Not only will the movie be published under the Creative Commons
license, the entire studio database will be published under the
Creative Commons as well - ranging from 3d models and texture maps up
to all data to recreate the movie entirely. It is especially that
aspect that will make the project a true Open Movie, and first in its
kind to be released.
The dual DVD set with the movie in PAL, NTSC and HD, a making-of
documentary, and all the studio files is expected to be shipping half
april 2006. Shortly after, the movie and database will be made
available for public download as well.
Studio Orange team:
Director: Bassam Kurdali (Syria /USA),
Art Director: Andreas Goralczyk (Germany)
Lead Artists: Matt Ebb (Australia), Bastian Salmela (Finland), Lee
Cocks (Australia)
Technical Director: Toni Alatalo (Finland)
The team will present their work saturday/sunday March 25/26 in The
Netherlands Media Art Institute, Keizersgracht 264. Here the movie will
be shown daily between 13.00 and 18.00 during the two weeks after.

Hi Ton,
I reworked the release a bit. Since being 'open source' is the 'hook'
it should be in the first paragraph. Also added source to the title
(Open is ambiguous, but open source is a buzzword that the press
recognizies and is 'interested in'). I changed the tense a bit, and
recommend putting the release out in advance (the 'day of' seems a bit
odd - probably the 23rd or 22nd would be better...)

I liked Tom's restructuring, and did a little of my own to his edits...
One additional thing that I think would add to it: 'twould be nice to
include a quote in the paragraph that begins "The short film is
unique in its exclusive use" from someone on the Orange team about
how an open resource like this will help along fledgling animators,
cure spina bifada, etc. Probably shouldn't be Ton, though, as he's
the contact.

Hi,
Thanks, the flow is definitely a lot better. A quote is OK to leave
out, is a bit cheesy usually anyway! :)
Some notes though;
- I still prefer using the definition "Open Movie". It's not an open
source movie... that sounds too much like software-only, whilst freeing
up the creative data itself is at least as important. We also have
'Open Movie' in our title sequence, and it is in all PR we did for the
press until now.
- The text takes the emphasis a little bit away from Blender. Improving
Blender remains the first target & goal of 'Orange', we didnt get much
contributions or support from other projects, other than that we used
their products. I don't mind to mellow the press release to have it in
a broader context (validating open source for movies in general), but
that was not what Orange was about.
- the Gnu Image Manipuation Program (GIMP)... do the gimpers really
want that name to be spelled entirely? :)
Let me make version... mailing it soon!
-Ton-

> Creative Commons license.
>
> The film tells the story of Emo and Proog, two people with different

> stunning technological vistas and machinery that seems to have a life

> After the premiere of 'Elephants Dream', the movie and all of the

> Commons' license which will allow individuals the world over to learn
> from, copy, edit, create, and even sell their own animations based on
> the original data files used to create the movie. The tools used for
> creating the movie, such as Blender for modeling, animating, rendering
> and compositing; the 2D paint program GIMP for texture map creation
> and editing; Python for scripting; and Subversion for studio data
> version management; are also available for free under open source
> licenses.
>
> The files will be released on two DVDs with the movie in PAL, NTSC and
> HD formats, a making-of documentary, and all of the studio files. The
> DVD is expected to ship in the first half of April 2006. Shortly
> after, the movie and database of source material will be made
> available for public download as well.
