Butterfly Effect
Patrice Bertrand’s Butterfly Effect is a gecko’s journey in the Parisian metro system. It is full of references to Blender.
Butterfly Effect is about a gecko that gets lost in the Paris metro. It’s also sort of a tribute to Blender with a number of allusions – try to find them all. It will also be an open movie project, with all, absolutely all, material available under CC BY SA, as soon as I find the proper hosting for it. One little thing that is worth noting is the generation of 200 butterfly path with random variations in speed and trajectory around a reference path, using the curve thickness (alt-s) as maximum. Other than that, no fancy technique, just one year of work.

All aboard.. the blend train!
It’s a interesting little story.. I just don’t understand where the water came from..
Some kind of Dutch subway? Cool!
That took a LOT of work, and I loved the Blender references! Was that Ton on Le Monde? While I’m a fan of ’80s Tangerine Dream, I’m not sure that style of music was quite right for the images.
Ton on Le Monde is an idea I’m sorry I haven’t had ! I think I’ll make a special version just for this ! Plus a few little bugs that I know of and hopefully don’t show too much.
0:19 I legitimately thought the train scene is real, any only the lizard was added via camera tracking… although the rainbow chairs were suspicious. It’s only at 0:38 when the doors opened and I saw the (less convincing) train station and the camera movement, that I realized everything is CGI. Fantastic work… it’s when animation can make people think the footage is real that it can be called brilliant! I know that at 0:50 it was real camera tracking though :)
