I couldn't believe how great this film was when I finished watching it. I think I'd choose to watch this 10 times in a row over any full length Hollywood film.
WOW this is amazing, i loved it,acttualy this was the first movie the made me cry. Great work from Blender Foundation, this just made me want to work harder with Blender, stick to it until i can´t more. 100 thumbs up for Blender!
Amazing. I was not expecting to be so emotionally invested in the film.
And I really liked the character design - including the dragons. They were familiar enough to fit into dragon cannon but unique enough to be there own thing.
technically really masterful but story-wise? wtf is the point? its just tragic, they just do something tragic and ugly for the sake of drama and emotional kitsch
what the open 3d community does is technically amazing but storywise they are usually suckers for corny clichees and cheesy heart-candy
Wow it is so amazing what you can achieve with blender! and it is open source! Thank you to all those who spent 1000's of ours creating blender for people to use for free.
Shes not a killer..it shows how she lost track of time and how engrossed she was on looking for the dragon. Thats why when she looked at her reflection she saw how time has affected both her and the dragon.. Shes got white hair cant imagine how many years shes been searching... its sad though that both there loyalty caused them pain at the end.
By the way her dragon I believe could be a girl or better yet they might be unisexed like earth worms. How ever there was a baby that was being guarded so I assume is a female dragon that she searched and cared for first.
@ignamatador150 He attacked her first out of instinct; she also probably assumed her dragon wasn't that big yet and didn't realize what was was going on.
The lyrics in the main theme shed some light on why exactly she journeyed for so long to find scales, I suggest you find them to get a deeper impression, such as the fire-y eyes she does when she makes her choice.
Incredibly depressing though... go through all that not just to have a dragon but for love and then to be screwed over by so much of it (although how could you really hate the adult bringing its baby back so much...)
Wow. A 10 on a scale of 1 to 5. This comes from a person that really doesn't care much for animation but this is very good. I can't wait for the day when computer animation is equal to that of reality. Right now it looks like a Xbox game.
I saw this when it first came out with 302 views over a year ago. Still absolutely brilliant. Great animation, general graphics, setting, soundtrack, cinematography, everything! Just so very brilliant.
To be honest I'm probably most impressed with the story!
@0EEVV0 The render time was around an hour a frame if I remember correctly, but it depends mostly on the scene. They had a fairly beefy render farm set up in a closet though, so the film did not take too long.
@ChiefRunningWall just going by my own scars. some fade away if they're light enough to begin with. but the bigger ones stay and can look bigger as they stretch with your bodies' growth.
The writer is obviously sadistic, the so called "dragons" look like flying Guinea Pigs with sheep horns, there was no point whatever in the pathetic story and they could have spend the time on making a graphics demonstration.
My alternate ending: after the dragon stops in its attack tracks, and sniffs Sintel, and figures out who she is ... Sintel takes advantage of that moment, and prepares to attack .... but looks into the dragon's eye ... and sees her baby ... and stops ... the rest is loving denouement .... yep, call me Disney Q. Rockwell, I'm totally for happy endings !!! [ Along with 95% of the population, who know that real life is tough enough, we look to fiction for Hope !!! ]
Only great, imo, if you see characters as chess pieces playing games. If you let them come to life, and touch your heart, no, painful sad endings are not great, they're crap. 'surprises' of this nature are just stupid pet tricks by hipster cynical immature hacks.
@JJ420365 It just loaded at 1080 much faster than i could watch it. I don't think the film itself deserved a thumbs down because YouTube wasn't quick enough for you.
@drwwong66 well, the software is free, the only thing that should have been costly was the time taken away and the tools used to hand draw the renders
man if only they could change up the user interface and make it neater. don't get me wrong! i can handle it. but it's look so disorganize. they should give it a nicer look and a greater control over it. i would like for blender to raise up to the rest of those commercial 3d programs and show them what the word free means as to $3000 for a software like Maya or 3ds.if they where cheaper at least may $500 cheap on download. software are infinite once made they would make more even more money too.
@dsavix4 "Hey, let's not be condescending now." Taking your own advice maybe?
I was just saying that the effort they put into making it look passable in blender would have made it look amazing in an industry standard 3D program.
I have underestimated the cinematic quality of Blender. Sintel is a brilliant short film, a true masterpiece. My hats off to the Blender Foundation and the Durian team.
