Recently I realized that we never really made a complete Blender Institute tour after this project started. Sure, there was Ton’s first round trip waaaay back, but we needed something new, shiny and classy like this to show you how great this place actually is! Luckily Nathan, our master of rigging, animating and hugging, agreed to improvise a very sincere and pertinent guided VIP tour through the marvels of our beloved work- and living- space.
Welcome to the Blender Institute!
Really funny. Happy people make happy product :-))) This made my day (although it is already evening. Nathan is really cool guy!!!
xD Merci pour la visite
Really funny!!!
Thank you nathan!!
[…] colleagues from the Peach project have produced a video tour through the facilities (complete with Apricot team cameo!). Highly recommended. Read […]
Hilarious! :’)
Hey hey! Don’t forget Andy, who masterfully filmed and edited this!
i’m sooo happy i’ve watched that video =)
Hehehe, very funny! Well done Nathan and Andy.
oh :D this is amazing :D
My best Wednesday night… Ever :D
Who cares about that thing called PIXAR, I didn’t see there a Italian expresso machine :P
Excelente performance Nathan and excelente work Andy!
This really is extremely funny :)
“Also known as eppell-juice… -sep”
Lovely piece of geek humour, especially the ending was great, and the super-spontaneous laughter when reading the book.
Damn, I laughed out loud from behind my computer, that doesn’t happen often :)
Hehe :) Funny stuff.. Happy is happyness :)
Thanks you guys, it really makes lot a happier and realistic impression than our first tour through your wonderful Blender Institute :)
And I more and more realize of the foolishness I have committed when I visited the institute: not hugging Nathan… Sacha tried to warn me but I did not listen. I’m truly sorry Nathan.
All the love and happiness is hereby wished from me to you.
Sander :)
PS best luck with all the work done on this project!
Geez Sacha, I just notice you haven’t moved one inch since my last visit! Are you sure they are letting you out of that building now and than?
Net nog operatie gehad aan keel, niets wilds, maar wel een verliefdheid opgelopen dat heeft geresulteerd in een relatie! Houd dus vol, er is hoop!
Het beste ermee!
That’s great news, Sander!
And thanks for sharing this with the entire world!!
That was so funny!
“Also known as ap-pel-juice…sep… in Dutch!” Genious. :) I also really cracked up about… everything else.
You guys are my heroes. If I ever get to work there, I hope I work with the spiritual successors of the Peach team! (you’ll all be working at PIXAR by then, I’m sure)
Waiter…
“I´ll have what he´s having”
Hehe….very good, Nathan.
I like the “Shut the F*** Up” room…very funny…
Nathan looks like the Big Buck Bunny.
It’s a shame… you forgot to present the blender of the kitchen.
This made me happy… now time for bed…
Absolutely fabulous!
I’m wondering if Nathan is always so full of energy. It should be exhausting to work with him. :)
Nathan, what kind of vitamins do you eat at breakfast? :)
“This reminds us of how much we suck”
Haha
eheh…well at Pixar there are a lot of italian cookers :P
Nathan might as well work for Blender.
good to see hard-workers ….. in blender Institute XD
What a riot! I’m glad at least one of the team is having fun, or losing his mind.
Who wants a .GIF of Nathan?

The Peach team had found the true happiness answer.
Tomorrow i’ll try to hug a big buck bunny.
Maybe the first step be happy!
Thx all the peach team!
Drugs are wrong, m’kay. :D
Forget BBB: I want to see “Nathan, the Movie”!
Nathan! I hope I’ll meet you again, the next Blender Conference. You are inspiring.
I am so HAPPY to see you Nathan. I feel even over here the happiness.
Happy greetings from The happy Hague
Roemer and happy mother
Nathan I looooove you!!
Wow, that was great. I don’t think I’ve laughed so hard all week!
And AniCator - that GIF is great! Loops seamlessly!
Man, I love you guys. :-)
lol, that was hilarious. Great job, Nathan, Andy….. Keep up the good work! :D
What are you smoking? xD
Hilarious! I want a movie with Nathan as the main actor star! :D
Hilarious — thanks Nathan et all!
:D jejejej! really fun tour! thanks nathan!!!
hahaha that was hilarious…thank you for this, both of you.
You make me smile. You brought the sun on a cloudy day.
is there something in the water that keeps Nathan so happy :D
Can we purchase those body parts
from the e-shop?
I would love to own a little piece
of a very very happy person!
HEY! I read those books too. I laughed soooo hard at siggraph proceedings 2003. You guys should check out “Flight”, and yeah I’m actually not kidding about that.
haha. the shut the #^@* up room. priceless.
hello
congratulations for this extra realistic documentary!!
this is soooo real :D
it’s really a mine of inspiration
Funny!!!
Hey, the Peach project is very good… great work…
[…] apresentado por Nathan nesta página. Só não repare que ele é um pouco louco. Visite também o post original no Blog do projeto […]
“Oppression and happiness: not necessarily mutually exclusive.”
‘Bout peed in my pants on that one. Dear God, that’s funny!!
That was a very fun tour. I’m happy that the people at the Blender Institute are kept happy so that the happy work they do gives happy results to keep the viewers happy.
…so, do they, uh…really lock people inside the e-Shop room for days?! Can’t be too fun to be in there with the boxed body parts ;P
Keep up the great work, guys.
YOUR ENTHUSIASM MAKES KITTY SCARED!!!
That’s good stuff.
Ha! That made my day. Thank you Nathan, Andy and the Blender team! I can’t say any more than that.
Really.
Except _maybe_ these clips would be an excellent addition as “Bonus Features” for the DVD.
So was Nathan one of those locked in the e-shop?
I’d probably be kinda strange after being locked up in a room with dead bodies too!
LOL, so you keep woman around for… happiness :) Thanks for visiting the Institute Andy. Obrigado!

Nathan has just become my favorite person on the planet.
[…] Nathan в довольной веселой форме проводит экскурсию по Blender Institute. “Happy workers make happy product” - есть над чем […]
OMG! I’m Ian’s favorite person on the planet! @_@
The guy who made SBFP!!!!!!!! AHHHHH!!!!!
I love you Ian!
[…] de animaci
You saw SBFP!? That totally makes my day!
I love you too, Nathan! Yay!
Heh… after watching this video, I think you can stop working altogether because I seriously doubt that Big Buck Bunny can get any better than this ;)
Yall should keep a marijuana plant in the kitchen and be like “It especially keeps us happy.” :P
Hi:
I am very happy to see such a nice production coming out of such a small yet creative group. I would love it if you take a look at my senior thesis and help with any feed back.
Best of luck.

thx for the intro! maybe you should go into sales and marketing ;-)
I showed my friend and his first words were, “Oh, is that the trailer for the new pixar movie?”
^meant to go on the trailer post
Lawwwwwwwwwwwwl Nathan, what’s up man. I thought you were up there working, not ****ing around!
[…] pat siūlau nepraleisti pro akis žemiau esančio dienoraščio papildymo tai “The Happy Blender Institute Tour“. Su blender institutu jus linksmai supažindins Nathan - vienas iš linksmiausių Peach team […]
Ha ha, hee hee and ho ho! Awesome movie. Could be that my senses are dull and that I overlooked something, but the mention to the blade of grass made me (coincidentally) think of Bethesda. Ahh, those lovable idiots are about to butcher the Fallout series by meddling with it’s already-epic format. But, as we all know, blades of grass are VERY important.
Why not whip up a game? Let’s call it Annihilation. The gameplay will horribly suck and will be bearable for a maximum of a week, but we’ll be sure to stuff it so full of eye candy that people will be too dazzled to care. No two blades of grass shall be the same!
Bitching aside :) Great movie. Happy workers make happy products, ha ha!
hilarious presentation !
LoL that was quality … i now feel happy inside
