Peach Interviews: Sacha Goedegebure

Bart · February 6, 2008

Last week I visited the Blender Institute in Amsterdam, where I had a chance to talk to the members of the Peach team (and a member of Apricot as well!). I taped my conversations with them and for the next week, we’ll publish one interview each day. Today part four: Sacha Goedegebure, Peach Director.

Author Bart

I have a LONG history with Blender - I wrote some of the earliest Blender tutorials, worked for Not a Number and helped run the crowdfunding campaign that open sourced Blender (the first one on the internet!). I founded BlenderNation in 2006 and have been editing it every single day since then ;-) I also run the Blender Artists forum and I'm Community Lead at n8n.

That was great when Nathan hopped through. :)

I’m glad to hear the music is very cinematic; I can’t wait to hear it!

Srange about the questions though, its already well known how long the movie will take and that Jan Morgenstern will do the music. I want more NEWS, not OLDS :p lol

I know Sacha’s secret with women– he sits under a tree in the park with his sketchbook, and they all come by and write their phone numbers in it.

Nathan is cinematic too, but I hope he’ll cut the crap before the next conference. I don’t want to get a neckache when I talk to him again. :P

See you in October Nathan! I assume you’re going to give us a making of presentation at the conference.

8 minutes is not enough to enjoy,but it show what blender can do with it new tools.

Nathan is such a screenhog. Maybe that’s how he animates. He acts like a rabbit for inspiration.

Good interview!

I was so expecting Super Wu’s name too pop up, on that last question.

I want to hear the excellent cinematic music! please. :)

oh yes! I want a 10 second music teaser. @ DramaKing, a lot of animators animate that way. Look at the behind the scenes for the newer starwars movies, you get to see nerds doing yoda’s lines in front of a web cam. In this case I think Nathan has just excepted the fact that he IS the bunny and the bunny IS him.

@ yokljo, I had hoped for full length too but that will come in the future I think. :)
