Elephants Dream
Elephants Dream
Elephants Dream is the story of two strange characters exploring a capricious and seemingly infinite machine. The elder, Proog, acts as a tour-guide and protector, happily showing off the sights and dangers of the machine to his initially curious but increasingly skeptical protege Emo. As their journey unfolds we discover signs that the machine is not all Proog thinks it is, and his guiding takes on a more desperate aspect. Elephants Dream is a story about communication and fiction, made purposefully open-ended as the world’s first 3D animated “Open movie”. The film itself is released under the Creative Commons license, along with the entirety of the production files used to make it (roughly 7 Gigabytes of data). The software used to make the movie is the free/open source animation suite Blender along with other open source software, thus allowing the movie to be remade, remixed and re-purposed with only a computer and the data on the DVD or download.

Reviews

Robert J. Maxwell
1943/01/01

A typical training film from 1943. If you were to fly the twin-engined P-38, you watched this first.It's narrated by an experienced test pilot who's friendly but sticks to the subject. "There's no need for prolonged inverted flight." And, if you stall below 10,000 feet, "the ground may come up fast and slap you in the face." It isn't really very technical. For the first few minutes you learn which buttons to push and which levers to set in which position but, for the most part, there are pleasant scenes, shot in color, of this queer-looking airplane in flight over snow-topped mountains and castellated clouds.The airplane itself is an ugly looking thing in its own way but sleek too. It was not that maneuverable but fast, well armed, and had more range than most of the fighters of its period. It was in production from the beginning of the war to the end, and it was P-38 pilots who intercepted Admiral Yamamoto's flight that resulted in his death.
