Blender Studio releases Sprite Fright
The latest open movie project produced by Blender HQ’s creative arm has been made available online. Sprite Fright is an 80’s-inspired horror comedy written and directed by former Pixar story supervisor Matthew Luhn and co-directed by Hjalti Hjálmarsson. Andy Goralczyk, who worked on the very first open movie project Elephants Dream, served as art director. As with previous productions at Blender Studio, the short film was made with the intention to further advance Blender’s capabilities. This time the main focus was on pipeline development, on tools and systems to help artists collaborate and work more efficiently. Watch the film and find out more on Blender Studio.
