Talking to the director of an open source movie
Ruslan Kulski interviews Bassam Kurdali, director of Elephants Dream
From the site: Elephants Dream is the world’s first open movie, made entirely with open source graphics software such as Blender, and with all production files freely available to use however you please, under a Creative Commons license.
Ruslan Kulski: What was the catalyst that brought all of the contributors together on this project? What was inspiring all these people to contribute?
Bassam Kurdali: The contributors for the project were primarily (a) blender users, (b) interested in film making and animation, and (c) interested in making an open movie and a contribution to open source film making. Inspiration probably was personal for all of us, so it's hard to say one thing for the entire team.
