SXSW is one of the most important music, film and interactive festivals in the United States. It takes place in Austin, Texas every year for 10 days of concerts, conferences, movies and tradeshows. It's the perfect place to meet companies, actors, musicians, directors, producers, agents and sponsors.
We went to SXSW to promote The Gooseberry Project on a booth at the tradeshow. It was an exciting week for Ton Roosendaal, Francesco Siddi and me (Mathieu Auvray). We had to finalize the online campaign and the Blender Cloud, while presenting and promoting it at the tradeshow!
I had the chance to attend conference talks, movies and concerts - more than Ton and Francesco, who were working harder than ever on the launch of the campaign and the Cloud. This video is a short testimony I'd like to share of what happened there.
Crazy good times and wonderful memories already !
Hope this movie reflects that a bit :)
Let us make Francesco still happy:

Thanks Sebastian, that was exactly the explanation I was looking for! And $12/month is fantastic value for money Wow o_0
Overall mood is great! :) Ton is friendly as always!
That dance was sometimes "infecting", that busty girl showed this perfectly )) I like the pieces of it - looks like some part of a music clip with music stars! :) But just dancing... with movie stars )
