Plumiferos in the Tube !

Hey this is malefico writing.

Bassam kindly invited me to write something about Plumiferos’ release happening this week. It might sound strange to read something about Plumiferos here but in fact it is not.

Some of us in the team, Bassam, Juan Angel and myself were part of the biggest film project done in Blender so far, and here’s the good news: it is finished. And it is showing in the theaters in Argentina as you read. The first Blender made feature film. Ever.

We are very proud of have been part of it 🙂

It was because of Plumiferos that I met Bassam, Juan and other wonderful people like Andy and VenomGFX. And for that I’m certainly grateful and happy.

Here’s Juan Angel writing…

I agree with Malefico, about learning from it… The best part of it, instead the experience, the learning (technical and human), and getting new knowledge and skills…

But the best part, as the Plumifero’s director (Daniel De Felippo) told me… was knowing those couple of amazing people… Malefico, Pico, Ivan, Diego, VenomGFX, Bassam!, Andy!, Daniel… and some others too…

Cheers… and some hugs… and here some pics !

Happy Birthday Fateh

I’m chuffed to announce the beginning of fateh’s traditional ‘Birthweek’ celebrations.. There will festivities, merriments, sweetmeats and the traditional “defenestration of the salmon” in honor of the glorious occasion. It is said that on the day of her birth, miracles happened: the blind became sighted, new stars appeared in the heavens and processed cheese turned to the finest cheddar.
So happy birthday, and thanks for saving the story (among other things)

Libre Graphics Meeting, Montreal

Soon (6-9 may) is the time for LGM (Libre Graphics Meeting) – in Montreal this year. LGM is a groovy arto-codo-free-softwariconference, where you get to chat and hear people present about Blender, GIMP, Inkscape, Scribus, Krita, GEGL, Hugin and more – many of the programs that we depend on to make tube.

Libre Graphics Meeting, Montreal

Soon (6-9 may) is the time for LGM (Libre Graphics Meeting) – in Montreal this year. LGM is a groovy arto-codo-free-softwariconference, where you get to chat and hear people present about Blender, GIMP, Inkscape, Scribus, Krita, GEGL, Hugin and more – many of the programs that we depend on to make tube.

At least two Tube project team-members will be there- Martin Poirier is presenting about Blender 2.5 (he’s one of those mythical ‘coder’ people), and it looks like I’ll be presenting “Short Tube, Free Pipeline” and about “Video Editing using Blender with Real-World Examples” (at least, my proposals both show up on the tentative schedule.) In addition, there is some possiblity that other team-members might show up (Jean-Sebastian isn’t far away, and Jason and Kursad have both threatened they *might* show up,) giving us the opportunity to organize a late night blend and hack session or two for the project. If you’re in the area, come see us, maybe we’ll force you to work 😉
