Open Source Content Improving Dramatically

What can I say? As time marches on the cinematic quality of CGI improves. All you have to do is compare the run of Pixar films over the years to see the improvement. Do you think that Open Source has a chance here? If you said no think again. Watch this trailer –

Oh and the free full run movie is here. The movie was done totally with open source tools. [eg. blender]

For the carriers this just another example of open content that is going to rain on their parade. I don’t think we will see Big Buck Bunny on the pay per view channel anytime soon. But Mom will be watching it with the kids. When there are thousands of Big Buck Bunny content sources their income model for premium content will crumble.

Interesting times.

The movie itself was also an open source project. New concept - open source film making with lots of volunteer contributors.
