Sintel Release Expected Thursday, September 30th

Bart · September 23, 2010

Tension is mounting: in a press release, the Blender Institute has announced that Sintel will be released on line next week Thursday, September 30th. The official movie poster has also been released. Pablo Vazquez shows the production steps on the Durian blog.

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.

Cant wait!!! :)

btw, as i remember for BBB, shouldn’t we first got DVDs before online premiere?
i guess this way they prevent it from leaking to early?

pretty impressive – cannot wait till I can see it.
the new render improvements must have worked out well for this style
judging by the work we saw sofar.

Good Job.

Gooooood! Can’t wait to see the movie! So in Thursday, September 30th will be “The Sintel Day”? Maybe I should take a day off to enjoy that red-letter day! :)

Can’t wait to finally see it!

The 3d work on the poster is nicely done, but the positioning of the title looks out of place imho. Surely it would be better placed in the top quarter of the poster(across the forehead) where it would be more legible.

Currently the S in Sintel is somewhat obscured by the graphics on the bottom left, especially when viewed on the thumbnail size. Just my immediate reaction anyway.

Of course everything else about the project is top notch :)

BTW without trying to sound like an evil bs (and I’m off topic I know) I would also like to see blender dot org with a new look. Sintel’s website looks 1000 times cooler imho.
