Orange Open Movie Team
Producer

Elephants Dream » the team
Ton is the producer of Elephants Dream, responsible for planning, overall coordination and “big picture” decisions. He is the
original creator of Blender and the chairman of the Blender Foundation. Ton was also the lead software developer for the
project. (Amsterdam, Netherlands)
Director
Bassam Kurdali
As the director, Bassam handled the overall scene breakdowns and editing decisions, while also being responsible for
overseeing the animation and acting performances. He worked as a character animator on many of the shots, as well as
character modeller, and also did the entire rigging and setup for both Proog and Emo. (Syria/US)
Art Director
Andreas Goralczyk
As the art director, Andy guided the general visual look, feel and colour of the movie. While he spent most of his time on
concept design, sets, texture painting, lighting and compositing, he also animated most of the typewriter dance, among other
shots. (Germany)
Lead Artist
Matt Ebb
Matt’s work was focused on the visual aspects of the movie, working mostly on concept design, sets, texture painting, lighting
and compositing, as well as a number of animation shots. Matt was also responsible for creating the title sequence, credits
and other 2D design tasks. (Sydney, Australia)
Lead Artist

Elephants Dream » the team
Bastian Salmela
Basse’s work mainly involved both concept design, sets, and animation. As well as substantial character animation, he also
did all the environment animation in the final scenes. Basse’s unique design sense was also responsible for the design and
modelling of all the ‘duck’ characters. (Helsinki, Finland)
Lead Artist
Lee Salvemini
Specialising in animation, and lots of it, Lee animated a large proportion of the character animation shots in the movie. He
was responsible for most of the ‘physical’ animation, such as manual cloth work and the destruction of the machine, and also
some modelling in the switchboard set. (Adelaide, Australia)
Technical Director
Toni Alatalo
Toni handled all technical aspects of the production, from equipment in the studio, to networking and file storage, and
writing scripts to manage jobs on the render farm. As well as systems administration, he used Python scripting within
Blender for procedurally animating the many hundreds of wires in the switchboard scene, as well as other useful tools. (Oulu,
Finland)
Music/Sound Designer
Jan Morgenstern
http://orange.blender.org/theteam (3 von 20)29.12.06 16:29
Elephants Dream » the team
Jan’s studio Wavemage was founded in 2003 in Lüneburg (Northern Germany), after doing freelance music and sound
design for some years. Collaborating from Germany, Jan was responsible for all audio in the movie, from sound effects and
foley recording, to post-production, score composition and music production. The audio was produced in 5.1 surround, and
the soundtrack is available for download here. (Lüneburg, Germany)
Movie Credits
As above, also with…
Emo
Cas Jansen
Proog
Tygo Gernandt
Cas and Tygo are both experienced professional actors in the Dutch film industry. They spent a day in the studio recording
both characters’ voices, footage of which is available on the DVD.
Screenplay
Pepijn Zwanenburg
Pepijn took our original rough concept and developed a script and dialogue, that we later broke down into individual shots
and animation.

Joeri Kassenaar
Enrico Valenza (Italy) spent two weeks in the studio in Amsterdam, helping out with last minute texturing and modelling.
Roland Hess (USA) worked online full time for a week on texturing many set elements. Robert Ives (Sweden based)
animated one of the shots (the first after the switchboard), and Joeri Kassenaar (Netherlands) helped with texture
groundwork for the elevator shaft.

Elephants Dream » the team
We used a lot of open source software throughout the project, but these were the open source projects that helped us most,
either through their applications, source code sharing, or advice.
Rendering Services Provided by
Bowie State University Xseed
Dr. Calvin W. Lowe, President
Prof. Mark Alan Matties, Director
http://xseed.bowiestate.edu
For rendering the movie, Bowie State University in the USA generously donated access to their Xseed supercomputer cluster.
Prof. Matties volunteered for us, providing local technical assistance. At the peak of our rendering load, we were using 160 of
the 224 dual G5 Xserve nodes.
Hardware Sponsored By
Sun Microsystems
Sun donated a 64-bit workstation that Toni used in the studio throughout the project.

HDCam Conversion
BBP Digital Intermediate, Amsterdam
BBP performed the conversion from .dpx image files and audio to digital HDCam SR tape, used for projection at the
premiere at Cinema Ketelhuis, Amsterdam. BBP helped us very generously, sponsoring us time in their studio on multiple
occasions to proof-check colours and oversee the conversion process on their Quantel IQ HD/2K system. They also saved us
from last-minute disaster, coming out to the cinema on premiere day to help troubleshoot audio problems.
