Hi all,
The day after – hangover day for the people with bad habits (like me). It’s been a blast! The film screening was great – last minute grading was surprisingly good, even while watching it on a regular projector (the DCP failed). We had a wonderful participative audience, laughing and cheering for us. Can’t have it better! After the film we had a load of fun with the film team, the actors, the blenderheads & fans, and of course the entire Mango crew! Oh, and I only had 1 complaint about the script sofar! We’re improving :)
I’ve had so much fun that I only took very few pictures… during dinner and at 2 AM when I left a nightclub. (Excuse me; I had to be up early to bring Roman to the airport! We’ll post more impressions of the premiere here soon.

Awesomee guys!, you’ve done some great work!, congratuletions!
Had a great time at the premiere; Loved the movie, it looked beautiful! :D Also pretty funny :P
Best summary I heard: “Robots, Bangs & Heartbreak”.
so, where is the link ? :)
I was there! I even spoke to Campell and Brecht and exchanged a few words with Ton too. The movie was impressive and I was really struck by the quality of the keying and the 4K rendering. I also spoke with Ton’s niece, who did the makeup and is quite handsome ;)
Maybe I’m mistaken but I didn’t see the actress who played Cilia during the premiere. All the other ones, including Derek de Lint, were present as far as I could tell.
Saw Ian Hubert too, but didn’t recognize him at first because of his haircut. Didn’t have time to speak to him, though.
I was really glad to be there and meet all the people who make Blender possible.
If I remember correctly, Ton said that she was out of the country or something like that.
Denise (Celia) was in USA, Vanja (Thom) filming on location… but four of our star actors showed up though, very cool.
Congratulations for a project well done.
Were the actors happy about how it turned out?
Hi Ton,
good to see that you guys had a great time at the party. We left already around 22:30, but we had a great time at the pre-premiere. You’re not only a good producer, but also a very good host!
When do we get to see it? :)
Give us 4 weeks to wrap the entire project up. Work now goes to docs, tutos, cleanup of data and presenting it well for the DVD box set.
Congratulations Guys! Its a massive milestone for Blender. Just can;t wait to see what you have wrought. I am sure the suspense is killing us all. :-)
Congrats guys – it’s a huge project and you should all be proud. Cant wait to see it! And also see the upcoming tutorials!
HOLY FRIK THIS LOOKS AWESOME!!! I AM SOOOOO EXITED FOR THE PREMIER!!!
Whoa! Ian’s haircut!
Thanks for posting the images and the update, Ton.
Hello Sister Unit! Yes! I shaved it all off! It’s slowly growing back.
