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.

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

Ever got a song stuck in your head? Well essentially that is the concept here as a man opens a box which is labeled as being dangorous (sic) but containing great power. He of course opens it and finds a jazz trio inside but he has no time to worry about that now as he has an emergency to go to – although so does the jazz trio.The short film really only has one joke but it plays it bigger as it goes and it delivers it in a cool and stylish way. The animation is slick and stylish (albeit perhaps an overly familiar style) and the music is catchy from the trio; these two areas of delivery work well together and carry the one joke along to the conclusion. It is not hilarious but it is amusing and it is well delivered and can be enjoyed as a cheerful little throwaway with a catchy soundtrack and cool animation.
