The Blender Foundation is making the final push in their “Open Movie Project”, named Sintel.  Just this week they released the first Trailer for the upcoming short film which not only looks like it will be an interesting film, but really showcases how far Blender has come.

With big thanks to Jan Morgenstern for the epic soundtrack, which as usual makes our humble creations look so much better!

We have less than 2 months now to finish this completely… imagine the tension that’s building up here to get everything perfect. For today, we’ll celebrate a big step forward. Enjoy!

If you like it, you can go ahead and pre-order the movie now as a 4-DVD set that will include not only the movie as a high-quality widescreen DVD, but an HD version in AVI or MOV format, and all of the .blend files, models, and textures.  All could be yours for a mere 34€.
