Sintel - Project Durian

 
Project Durian is Blender Foundations third Open Movie project, produced in the studio of the Blender Institute in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
 

Six artists and two developers have been invited to come over to Amsterdam for at least six months to create an epic action-based 3D short movie with Blender. Lead by renowned Blender artists Colin Levy (direction) and David Revoy (art direction) and with a script by famous Dutch cartoonist Martin Lodewijk, you can expect this to be an exciting project!
 

Just like project Orange, and Peach and Apricot, the end result itself and all of the production files will be published under the Creative Commons, free to be reused and for everyone to learn from. More importantly, the team will challenge Blender itself to the max, inspire the entire development community to prove Blender is ready for feature quality 3D production. Special attention will be spent on massive animation scenes, better library data management, smoke/fire/explosion simulations, new rendering techniques, and faster high-res compositing.
