It's been almost a year since the initial announcement of the Agent 327 project, but I guess the movie industry moves slowly. The Blender Institute crew has now started with initial tests for the projects!

In February and March we’ve caught up with tutorials and other content duties in Cloud. This will continue in the coming months, everyone here now has Monday assigned as “cloud day”!
But we have a studio for other good reasons too - to make compelling content and push Blender further with it. Last week we’ve decided to pick up last year’s project with the (world famous in Netherlands) Agent 327 cartoon series. Hjalti pitched a very funny fight scene in a barbershop - which will serve very well to explore the character of the secret agent and the universe he lives in. We visited cartoonist Martin Lodewijk in Rotterdam last week to discuss the work and we’re delighted that he loves it as well.
The Agent animation test will last about 80-90 seconds, has at least 3 characters in it (10 if I spoil the ending) and is expected to take us 4 months to complete. Expect only the best!
