Big Buck Bunny is the second open film project headed up by the Blender Foundation, an open film being one created entirely with open source software and with all production materials being made freely available to the public upon completion. The first project, “Orange,” produced Elephant’s Dream, a dark, trippy short, heavy on dialogue and featuring human characters. For the second project, codenamed “Peach,” the emphasis was on cute and fluffy. The result is Big Buck Bunny, a large rabbit who has to deal with some small, and very cruel, rodents. In my opinion, this second project is more successful in almost every way. The final video is available for free on their homepage, and you have the option to buy the DVD if you want to support these open movie projects and the blender foundation.
