I’ll quote the Webby mail below: Congratulations! On behalf of the International Academy of Digital Arts & Sciences, it is my pleasure to inform you […]

Cosmos Laundromat just won the Jury’s Award at Animago, a worldwide renowned contest in the entire field of 3D animation, still, visual effects and visualization! Pictures below: the award catalog with great cover! And the jury report in German. I’m sure someone will post a translation here :)
The internet premiere was last month, but yesterday we had our real festival premiere on the Netherlands Film Festival, together with three other animation shorts.

Producing blu-ray discs (BD) means you have to make a master that survives the strictest (into the extreme) tests with Sony software in a reproduction factory. No way you can do this with free/open source software. So we tried it with Adobe Encore first – it gives a good working bluray video disc – but […]
A couple of days ago we received the DVDs and Data Cards from the factory! Anja has been busy packing and sending hundreds of them, worldwide. If you pre-ordered, check your mailbox in the next days. The Blu-Ray production is still in progress (due to the official Sony digital mastering guidelines), so they will be […]

Francesco and Sergey worked here all night to get the masters ready, quality demands (wrong gamma) required last night to make a complete new film export from the OpenEXRs and encode it all over. Looks even more great (and less dark) now! The guys left this […]
