A few days ago we returned from a fascinating and effective trip to Amsterdam - the capital of tulips, bikes, red lights, marijuana and state-of-he-art 3D technologies (!). The aim of our trip was to meet Ton Roosendaal, the creator and developer of Blender Foundation.
Despite the fact that we had too little time to talk with Ton - coz his team have already started shooting Mango Open Movie and they've got lots of work in the studio - this meeting was a success! Ton welcomed us at Blender Institute and saw us around the studio. There we saw a very detailed storyboard for Mango, consisting of almost 170 frames, the technical equipment of the studio, and had an opportunity to glance over the animators' sholder. One of the amazing and funny things was a huge gun - made out of a usual toy, but with a realistic lazer backsight and a night viewing device. It looked like a real one. Ton also showed us two posters of the previous projects, so we could compare Elepant Dream with resolution 2k and the later Sintel with resolution 7k. And buy the way, we were very surprised to find a compatriot among Blender developers :)
By-turn, we told Ton about Levitation Studio and about the action "Say YES! to Levitation Studio project", in which he was quite interested and gladly agreed to take a picture with a dutch "JA!" (we gonna print out this legendary picture and put it on the wall, for good luck:)
Besides current question we've talked about Blender prospects: e.g. soon you will be able to use it on Android platform, and a special social network for Blender users will be created to give us an opportunity to share our views and exchange experience. It is amazing what great future Blender has! Soon it will develop into a full-fledged studio for film-production, where you can do absolutely anything: edit frames, cut and edit scenes, work with chromakey and much more!
