The Linux Foundation Video Site:: The origin...

User-submitted video from The Linux Foundation Video Site

The origin. Made for the I'm Linux contest. I wanted to stay away from live footage, or any usual representation. Instead I looked for a more abstract form, trying to touch symbols (they tend to be stronger). Everything is symbolic in this video and has a purpose, from the very beginning with the cell/egg form representing the beginning of life, the metamorphosis, multiplication, then fusion to build something better and stronger (only with collaboration you can go higher), etc.

The intelligent part about it is the i (Apple) + You (Google) + We (Everybody) = Linux

Nice equation for the current trends in market and development. Even a 5 years old can understand it!

I did some research, here's his reply to the question:

"I only used three softwares in here : After Effects, Pixelmator, Soundbooth. I first had a very ambitious project with a lot of 3D (using blender and houdini), but timewise it was impossible and on top of that rendertimes wouldn't fit the deadline. So I took the decision to rebuild my hole concept and do it on a more Motion Graphic way (but keeping some of that 3D perspective)."

aha.. I totally forgot about it

[nathan8BIT]

It was probably made in blender if it was on linux

[O0rAX0O]

I'm more interested in the program used to make this, or did you make it in a Windows application??? please answer..
