O brother,… Elephant dreams ?????
I thought the movie was called Elephants Dream?

Is there a jury report somewhere on why ED won this price?
Seems to me it was #1 in the category Orange OpenSource Creative Commons (yes the OOCC), o right, it was also the only movie in that category… :(
Can't ED win a real price somewhere?

Congratulations Elephant's Dream – you're film is extrordinary and any such awards as this are of course going to be pretty subjective. In my opinion your production rivals any $100 + million dollar production I've seen in any movie theatar or DVD! You guy srock.

ElBarto: Nope, I'm afraid I didn't model Divine Application in Blender (it was modelled and animated in Maya 7), but I did all the editing and a decent part of the post production in Blender. And let me say this: Blender's sequence editor absolutely absolutely rocks :) I did use plenty of other open source software too – I also used Gimp, Terragen, and DrQueue.

Well done to all the guys and gals behind Elephants Dream, it's a well-deserved award. If the award had to go to anyone, I'm glad it was you! :)

I'm very happy to present as the founder of Webcuts the Special Award at the Blender Conference in Amsterdam :)

BTW: Devinne Application was modeled in Blender too.

Well, I have just had time to see "Video 3000", and a funny thing happened when the character ckicked for the first time on the remote control : my PC has rebooted !

Obviously, I found it funny only after viewing the movie completely !o)

I think ED is better animated and better designed as the other winners…
