Manuel says: 10/08/2015 at 18:29 Hats off to all of the team! This was outstanding! The quality of the images, the animation, the sound, the smoke, the hair, the composition! A true milestone! I am optimistic this episode ensures the support for the continuation of this fantastic story. :) Reply 3. Lukasz says: 10/08/2015 at 18:36 Open source is getting more and more powerful. Great work, Blender team! Reply 4. Mason Menzies says: 10/08/2015 at 18:37 Do you think i could get the frame for a wallpaper (in the video it’s at 7:50) it’s a fantastic shot. i would love the full res frame of it if that’s ok. fantastic work on the pilot. when will the creation of the rest start? Reply Stephen says: 10/08/2015 at 19:20 It’s all open source, if you’re a Blender Cloud member I’m pretty sure you can download the project files and render it yourself :) Reply Aclariel says: 10/08/2015 at 21:48 Like Stephen said, there should be actually around 32 GIG of PNGs (Every single rendered frame in high definition) available. Reply 5. moises torres says: 10/08/2015 at 18:47 so cute I hope you are very successful and congratulations to all Reply 6. Yves PERERA says: 10/08/2015 at 18:54 Hi, This is (as always) amazing !!! Yet, starting from 58 seconds, the rope that pulls the log disapears and reappears quite noticably :/ having such a mistake directly from the begining cuts out the awesomeness of the whole thing (because then we tend to look out for more disturbing details like the un-smoothness of the earphones wire ^^’) Nontheless there are some astonishing views !!! The landscape, the sky, the ocean, … it just amazed me ! Congrats for all that hard work, can’t wait to see next cycle ;) Reply UnintelGen says: 10/08/2015 at 19:51 Funnily enough, you might be wrong about the rope. It’s covered by the tall thick grass which shields it (the rope) for the shot. You aren’t suppose to notice the rope until it’s being tugged, which is evident when Franck tries to pull the log away from the frame. The popping of the rope in and out of the grass helps to sell Franck’s burden. It has to be lifted up very high when he tugs, and on the ground when he releases. There are probably some inconsistencies; I for one feel the smoke sims are a bit ‘off’… Somehow. I can’t really articulate it. The storm mainly; the washers are freaking perfect. I too cannot wait for the next cycle… It feels like it could be awhile, but it will be worth it. Reply Manuel says: 10/08/2015 at 19:55 The rope is being under tension when he pulls, then the tension is released. When its under tension the rope straightens out, thus is visible, when its released, it falls down, thus “disappearing” in the grass. Nothing wrong there ;) Reply Yves PERERA says: 11/08/2015 at 18:48 Hey thanks for the replies :) I did notice the tension effect from the scene that was “shot” further away from Frank (and on the side) it helps to understand why, from a close up, the rope is disappearing like that. ^^ I understand the whole will to memphasize the dificulty of the labor. Yet I’m just saying that at the begining, the disappearing and reappearing is a bit to sudden and looks quite fake (like there is an “appear” button turned on and off). However if that scene seems normal to everyone else than that’s great (it’s just me imagining things ^^’). In my opinion that was quite a big and obvious flaw… All the better if isn’t. :) I agree with the smoke sims being a bit “off” (as you say Unintelgen) however I liked the storm… It’s the cigarette smoke that’s bugging me more. ^^ Reply 7. Marc Binsted says: 10/08/2015 at 19:05 Bravo! Reply 8. lol768 says: 10/08/2015 at 19:22 Is there a download available? Reply Ton Roosendaal says: 10/08/2015 at 20:30 Downloads will be available later, we didn’t setup mirrors for it yet. Cloud subscribers will be able to download it within a day. Reply Tombert says: 11/08/2015 at 02:11 I am so damn impressed with how good blender has gotten. This is professional grade, and it warms my heart that it was done with open source. Great work guys, I *cannot wait* until the next one, hopefully soon! Reply 9. Clemens says: 10/08/2015 at 19:41 Congratulations for the best and most genuine open movie to date! Such a shame it’s so short, but I’m glad you didn’t compromise on quality. Now celebrate and enjoy the rest of the summer! – And then find a way to give us more of this. Reply 10. Ray J. Braz says: 10/08/2015 at 19:58 Congratulations! Reply 11. doakey3 says: 10/08/2015 at 19:59 It looks epic! I really liked that colorful tornado and the music. The wool on the sheep was pretty awesome. Too bad there’s an F-bomb, I was hoping to show it to my nieces and nephews. Reply Chris Hamilton says: 11/08/2015 at 14:12 Yes I was very disappointed to see that kind of profanity. Shame on the directors. I’ll watch it again once its out and someone has the decency to make some edits. It’s amazing how such a beautiful production can be trashed with just a few moments of gross indiscretion. Reply DomTheHerb says: 12/08/2015 at 14:08 Honestly, that’s ridiculous. Using the word “fuck” (oh yes I said it) only adds to the atmosphere since frank wouldn’t give a damn about which words he could use or not given the situation he is in. And by the way you’re missing a lot of fantastic movies when you have a problem with cursing. Reply Thomas says: 12/08/2015 at 16:31 You do realize the entire project has adult themes? The video starts with a clear attempt at suicide and the main character is clearly depressed and ready to attempt suicide once again. Thats the obsession we place on language yet things like violence, suicide and depression are perfectly ok to show to kids. Language is just words and shouldn’t hold so much power and fear over people. Reply 12. Dennis Hatcher says: 10/08/2015 at 20:07 SPECTACULAR !! Reply 13. apaza610 says: 10/08/2015 at 20:12 Really a perfectly done job, it’s so beautiful congratulations. Reply 14. Adam says: 10/08/2015 at 20:20 Outstanding work. Quite moving as well with the music and all. Reply 15. Stev says: 10/08/2015 at 20:40 I am incredibly proud! Another milestone for Blender. Visually stunning, technically moving the barriers higher again, and a film with characters and a story that will absorb people’s interest. Reply Stev says: 10/08/2015 at 21:16 You can delet this comment , sorry Reply 16. Bart says: 10/08/2015 at 20:50 I enjoyed it! It turned out great! Love cycles. And this is only the first! Reply 17. Voodoo says: 10/08/2015 at 20:55 Fantastic work ! No 1080p though ? How come ? :( Reply 18. Stuart Bowes says: 10/08/2015 at 20:55 Well done to everyone that worked on this, it was definitely worth the time and effort! There is a lot of detail and subtelty and it gets better with each viewing. Thank you. Reply 19. Eduardo Inke says: 10/08/2015 at 20:57 Amaaaazing!!! Congratulations guys! Reply 20. darren says: 10/08/2015 at 21:07 Beautifully shot with a great music score. Looking forward to more :) Well done! Reply 21. BernAr says: 10/08/2015 at 21:10 Thanks everyone for that great experience. Let’s make sure the next cycles will come soon :-) Reply 22. Alessandro Passariello says: 10/08/2015 at 21:23 Ragazzi, siete uno spettacolo!! Reply 23. blender_casual_user says: 10/08/2015 at 21:59 This is awesome!! Trailer was a little disappointing but this? It’s amazing! Good work everybody! :) Reply 24. Aclariel says: 10/08/2015 at 22:00 Stunning! The visuals, animation, facial expression, music score, everything is just amazing! Again, this project is one to be really proud of. Congratulations, and thanks to everyone on the team! And also, a from the hearth thank you to the supporters.
