Bassam Kurdali
(Fediverse, Twitter)
talks about using Blender
(a free and open source software suite for making 3d artwork)
for open movie projects such as Elephants Dream
(the world's first open movie project, which Bassam directed!)
and Wires for Empathy,
as well as use in teaching it to college students studying animation.
