Hello Ton! If Gooseberry doesn't happen, will you still continue developing and exploring the possibilities of the Blender Cloud? Also, will the cloud data include books as well as DVDs?

"Could have gone worse"

Try a subscription to The Blender Cloud :) its just $12 per month, all the best training and workshops from the Foundations e-shop are gradually being uploaded as we speak, a total value of around $480 give or take.

Definitely a good film

When it comes to making feature length animated films, Gooseberry is completely breaking the mould. Its receiving almost no funding from investors. Different studios with different styles are working together in close collaboration, the team extends to around 80 artist (correct me if I'm wrong) while big production studios often work with up to three times that number. Often animated films (or any film for that matter) are worked on exclusively by the team, hidden from the public until the film is released. Gooseberry's production will be 100% open, so we can see it as it develops and shapes, from concept to final film. If Gooseberry succeeds it could be a testimony to a new way of movie creation, perhaps even the future of film making. If it fails, it'll not only be a shame but very, very sad :( whatever happens, something this unique is sure to have some impact on the history of film making. If the average Joe loves movies, then its a chance to make film history.
