Elephants Dream [HD] | FULL MOVIE Short film (2006)

THIS IS THE COMPLETE SHORT MOVIE, NOT A TRAILER
now in HD resolution 1080
from the guys that brought you Big Buck Bunny and Sintel
Elephant Dreams is the story of two strange characters exploring a capricious and seemingly infinite machine. The elder, Proog, acts as a tour-guide and protector, happily showing off the sights and dangers of the machine to his initially curious but increasingly skeptical protege Emo. As their journey unfolds we discover signs that the machine is not all Proog thinks it is, and his guiding takes on a more desperate aspect.

Elephants Dream is a story about communication and fiction, made purposefully open-ended as the worlds first 3D animated Open movie. The film itself is released under the Creative Commons license, along with the production files used to make it (roughly 7 Gigabytes of data). The software used to make the movie is the free/open source animation suite Blender, along with other open source software, thus allowing the movie to be remade, remixed and re-purposed.

All content, including the production and render files, is release under a Creative Commons license, which means you can edit remix and basically do with the mocie as you like. Find more details here: http://orange.blender.org/

This is my interpretation... Emo is actually blind and what we see is happening in his head, it is the way Emo imagines the world, as a big machine. The machine changes shape as he finds out he was wrong about imagining something. For example at 4:05 he imagined the endless pit, but it wasnt there in reality so his mind changed it. At 6:39 he was attracted by music, which actually led to a dangerous place, so Proog stopped him.

I was following this project when it was in production, and even now I still want to find out what drugs did those guys use when they came up with this idea.

@panjawel2 What's the matter with being a hobo?

There's so much rapidly growing technology, automation, and "machines" that it almost seems like it has taken on a mind of it's own and we have to carefully walk through life trying to avoid all of the machines dangers and pitfalls. Cross a crosswalk with a red light and maybe get run over by a vehicle, go on the wrong website and you can have your identity stolen, all of our mechanical transportation (air, rail, vehicles) just a slight miscalculation away from fatal disaster. My interpetation.

I think the message of this movie is that "nothing can be anything."

@attonator The drugs of the mind, the cells that make you think, the things that make you imagine! the great wonderous stratosphere of YOUR MIND!!!
