Roadmap for Blender - Mango Project

Ton Roosendaal at SIGGRAPH 2011 was held a presentation on the future of Blender and the planned VFX Film Project mango. It&s a lot of information gathered, we want you to summarize briefly: The next film of the Blender Foundation (to Sintel), should serve the possibilities of the upcoming Blender VFX versions expand and simultaneously to demonstrate on a real project. The focus will be on motion tracking, keying, compositing and color correction. Should occur while a sci-fi short film of 5-6 minutes in length, set in Amsterdam. Hubert was hired as director Ian, who has put so much already in his London Project to Blender. It is also interesting that Google appears as a premium sponsor. Already in September it will start with the concept and script. In November the usual DVD launch pre-sale campaign. From January to begin the storyboarding. For three weeks in late March are scheduled filming. The post production will then be completed by the end of July. We are more than eager to see how Blender will strike at the entire production of a VFX short film. That here also a lot of tutorials and insights should fall in the production are considered secured. Perhaps we have next fall really is a working Allround-Editing/Compositing-Werkzeug in the hands, which is still to open source.
