Hi all,

I just wanted to present our last project of a 2D animation film (digital cell animation) drawn fully with GIMP, in case you haven't heard of it yet.
The movie will also be released as Creative Commons BY-SA (so that's an Open Movie!).
And we will use the time to also improve GIMP and other Free Software (Blender for editing, Ardour for sound…). You may know I am one of the devs on GIMP.

You may have seen already some artworks of our director, Aryeom. For instance she draws the "Wilber & Co." comic strip in GIMP Magazine, she also drew the current logo of the "GIMP users" group on Facebook, etc.

So let's go straight to the point. We are currently crowdfunding the project, and you can read more about it there: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/zemarmot-libre-movie-made-with-free-software/

You will see a 1-min teaser on the funding page. And before anyone ask (because someone did at our Libre Graphics Meeting's talk), yes this is 100% GIMP-drawn, from scratch, no hand-painting scan, nor any other drawing software. For anyone who says GIMP can't be used for drawing, just link them to the obvious truth. :-)

Anyway, I hope you like it, maybe will contribute, and also share to friends, family and others. :-)
Bye!

Jehan

Just a small email to say we are in the last 45 hours of the crowdfunding. If anyone is interested to sponsor a Libre Movie made with GIMP, here is the time! :-)
