There are 5 days left to support their next open movie. (Not sure what happens if they don't reach their goals, but pretty sure the movie will still happen.)
Their goal is to create a 100% open movie project. All the iterations of the script, all assets files, all the work they do will be shared in real time to the world. Everything will be released under a creative commons license.
Here is the trailer:
Instead of going the Kickstarter way where the more money thrown at them, the more perks are unlocked, they decided to launch the Blender Cloud. The idea is that from the time you help found the project to the time they release the final result, you get to see everything as it's being made. I believe their funding goal is $6 million.
