We’re (sort of) Done!

Posted in Production by Nathan

The Peach Team just had a too-long meeting where we reviewed our final edit of the movie. And guess what? It’s done!

Well… basically. We still need to do the credits, and a few final renders are still processing. But “Big Buck Bunny” is essentially done.

Yayz!

Now it’s time to move on to the DVD work. We have an ambitious set of extras planned. At least, they seem ambitious from this side of the fence. But I want to be all mysterious and whatnot, so I’m not going to tell you what they are. Bwa ha ha. But I think everyone will be pleased.

Wish us luck!

    Nice one – I think BBB is going to really put Blender on the map for a lot of artists who previously might have snubbed their noses at it!

    Hopefully the major pressure will be lifted from you all, and you’ll be able to enjoy stuff like the extras / tutorials / releasing the last pre-2.5 BBB-branded version of Blender!

    Blender rocks!!!

    Hahaha! Nice joke @ndy….. you must have worked too many hours.. sleep a bit and watch some jacky chan movies you’ll notice it’s done. because you’ll be able to watch the complete movies instead of only a little slice of them.

  31. Bmud Writes:

    I see the future…
    “Mail, mail mail. I like mail. Let’s see what’s in the maaaaa–AHHHH! OHMYGAWPEACHBLENDERBUNNYMOVIEINTHEMAILBOX !!” and then I don’t remember what happened after that. I think i ran around in circles, hit my head on the mailbox, and passed out. So I wish I could tell you all how the movie went, but you know… accidents happen.

  32. Fredrik Writes:

    Wohoo! I’m really looking forward to watch your creation :D Well done everyone, and good luck!

    Happy birthday to you, Andy!

  33. John Drinkwater Writes:

    I heard you guys don’t need localisers for the subs as there is no speech in the film… but do you need a hand translating for the DVD/Blu-ray discs?

    (EN-GB fan here ;))

  34. RH2 Writes:

    I’m sure the movie is going to be simply awesome.
    1. characters -awesome
    2. environment -awesome
    3. story -awesome
    4. extras -awesome
    5. new features-awesome

    But isn’t a movie over 10 minutes?
    Project Peach and Orange are nothing but Amazing, Awesome, High quality short productions. Hopefully in the future the
    blender institute will sponsor a movie longer than an hour. I can’t wait to see
    your effort on film.

  35. Ben Writes:

    I’d buy you all a hard earned beer, but I’m living halfway around the globe. Just use the preorder money for a dvd set to pay for a round! Congrats all of you!

  36. jonny Writes:

    Perhaps second tiny preview for us ():-) ? PLEAZ! It hasn’t to be cut like the trailer. Just a scene or a picture, or, or, …! I’m dying to see more!

  37. oddway Writes:

    Looking forward to getting my copy in the mail. The next project should be completely open source, including the subject/script. Like perhaps holding a script competition as well? Just an idea!

  38. Nathan Letwory Writes:

    @ Nathan: stop using my name. It’s confusing

  39. Cathy & India Writes:

    A big happy birthday (slightly belated) to our friend Andy!
    And congrats on finishing everyone – can’t wait to see it. Miss you all.

  40. LOGAN Writes:

    OMG, are they not just pulling our leg???

    I bet the DVD extra’s include easter eggs like jumping people in bunny suits, the happy blender movie and a special making off hosted by that BlenderNation.com guy :P

  41. randomnut Writes:

    You won’t know until you get it. Only they know what’s on it. But it’ll probably be awesome.

  42. rolf Writes:

    April fools?
