Elephant’s Dream

I’ve just downloaded and watched Elephant’s Dream – a short animation showcasing computer animation tools made by the Open Source community. The tools may be fine, but the film sucks. Visually quite inventive, but the storyline is tired, acting terrible, and the continuity girl was obviously on holiday when the film was thrown together. It’s billed as a project "bringing together a diverse team of artists and developers from all over the world". Clearly, the elephant has turned out to be a camel – a horse designed by a committee.
