Entry 6 - Big Buck Bunny / Blender

( http://www.furtherfield.org/displayreview.php?review_id=306 )

Big Buck Bunny is an animated 3d film about a rabbit that fights back against some evil squirrels. What makes the movie special is that it was made with Blender, a free 3d modeling / rendering program, and is licensed under the Creative Common's Attribution license. The source of the project is provided, so anyone who owns a copy has full access to the resources and assets used, and can make derivative works and use it as they wish.

This is very different from the way most media is consumed. Most media is restricted at its very core. This revolutionary approach could be a glimpse of the future of similar media. There's an incredible amount of creativity that could be harnessed with this open source art.
