Elephants Dream, internet release of the first 3D 'Open Movie'

(Blender Foundation, Amsterdam, the Netherlands) - The 3D animated short 'Elephants Dream' will today be released as a free and public download. This is the final stage of a successfully completed Open Movie project which has been community-financed, using only Open Source tools, and opening up the movie itself as well as the entire studio database for everyone to re-use and learn from. The movie and production files are licensed as "Creative Commons Attribution 2.5", which only requires a proper crediting for public screening, re-using and distribution.

Now that we've got all that out of the way, here's the stuff you're really
looking for:
AVI:
HD AVI (1960x1080!) (815MB)
AVI (1024) (425MB)
QuickTime:
1024 (311MB)
720 (145MB)
480 (99MB)

Much more information available AND mobile versions available at http://www.elephantsdream.org/

Now, one last comment, their DVD isn't free (as in beer) but this is a very good argument for releasing movies via a digital distribution medium (like bittorrent) and as such, that's why it's here. If you download the movie and believe they've done a good job of it, please, buy one of their dvds from here .
