Who makes it?
Blender Institute will bring together twelve indie studios from all over the world, who will contribute each using own style and cultural influences.
Work is expected to take 18 months, with 60-80 people participating full time, supported by a huge online community who will be involved and participate as well.
A Feature Film
The film is about Michel the sheep, who's longing to get an interesting life. It will be a funny, absurdist and adventurous love story, directed by Mathieu Auvray.
Script development is currently ongoing and will continue until August.
Coders and Artists
Since 2005, Blender's biggest success was to team up artists and developers to work on challenging short film and game production.
It has been this synergy – to have software developers only work on what's really needed – that makes the investment in content projects such a great development model for open source creation software.
Sharing everying
This film will be 100% owned by the makers. Benefits of a limited exploitation window will go to the people who helped realizing the film. After that, everything will be published and shared freely as Creative Commons.
