Creative Commons Interviews Ton Roosendaal
There’s an interesting interview with Ton Roosendaal on the Creative Commons weblog. He discusses Blender development, the Open Movie projects at the Blender Institute and his thoughts on Free Culture.

Interesting interview, as always. I like reading informations directly from the Master.
I too am a sucker for all news about Ton. Thanks.
“But each time I meet people who work in this field, it’s mostly theorists, not practicists. so I’m a bit biased […] people who talk about free culture don’t seem to make it (at least here in the Netherlands, at conferences or meetings). I get regular invitations to talk on this topic. I do it sometimes, but the blah-blah level disturbs me a bit. Free culture is about doing it.”
Well said, Ton.
A stereographic version of Sintel would be great!
My favorite quote “but the blah-blah level disturbs me a bit. Free culture is about doing it.”
I don’t know how Ton does it, dealing with all the static and random inputs and strong personalities and he succeeds! Think about it, Blender is only 8 yr old and most of the crits of the movie have been artistic, not about Blender. That is a tremendous accomplishment, perhaps overlooked by some.
As the saying goes ” Those that can, do. Those that can’t, teach. Those that don’t understand, judge.”
