Sintel




SINTEL (aka the durian project) is the 3rd open source film by the blender foundation. The film is about a young woman called Sintel who finds a baby dragon with an injured wing, she names Scales. Some time goes by and scales can fly again, but as soon as he’s flying once more an adult dragon grabs Scales out of the sky and flies away. Sintel now is on a quest to save scales and ventures though different lands, such as snowy land, bamboo forests and rocky cliff sides.

The 15 minutes was produced by Ton Roosendall (who is the chearman of the foundation) and directed by Colin Levy who is an artist at Pixar animation studios. 






The concept art for the durian project was done by David Revoy he did the deigns for Sintel. The city, young/adult Scales, and others

i like the concept art and the movies because unlink the previous two films, As the 1st film big buck bunny was animals a big buck bunny, and three squirrels whereas the 2nd elephants dream contained two characters both human formed, but with exaggerated feathers. i.e. long faces/fingers, bodies, and ever exaggerated movements. But Sintel is human.
The film has no set time period, and I have no idea what time its from, but I think it’s set around the time before modern industrialism, before technology, where swords magic and wonder rules the lands. I like this idea so that’s why in my character designs are  influenced by this trying my best to sat away from tech or future weapons

his work on Sintel can be found on his website, as well as other work he has done
