Tears of Steel: New film production Blender Foundation

[macxi]

Hi,

I copy below the news about the new movie Blender, full of special effects, very, very professional, impressive.

New film production Blender Foundation

Tne film Tears of Steel.

The goal, among others, was to make Blender feasible for film production and more focused on special effects.

Note: Blender has a very interesting history, it was proprietary software and today is an excellent free software (see oficial site and wikipedia)


Moderator, I think I created this topic in the wrong room. Could you please change this topic to the correct room? I think it is in "The Wizards Lair"

FWIW

A special effects movie in the ( American ) theaters
now is:

Resident Evil: Retribution
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1855325/

A sophmoric tale of Zombies and mayheim aimed at
13 year olds . But, the entire movie was videoed
end to end using

digital cameras. Especially the ability to shoot 4k
RAW video at 120fps. What this results in is extremely
HiDef low speed scenes. It's quite something to see.
Do leave your brains and the door. You won't be
needing that.

I had the opportunity a couple weeks ago to sit
with a RED Engineer and actually get videoed using
an Epic just like what was used in this movie.
What did I look like on a 20x35 projection screen?
I'll never be a Movie Star.

There is some stress but communication between

www.red.com

and

http://ffmpeg.org/

to get the RED Camera codecs in ffmpeg. We can only
hope. The upcoming movie "The Hobbit" was videoed
using 60

cameras. The engineer I was with sold those cameras
to Peter Jackson.

Pretty much all the videos presented here were edited on
my Intel i7 / Mageia / OpenShot platform. I do put that
in most of my notes for each video.
