Trainings on Open Source Multimedia Instruments

Here are the final videos of the participants this year. As you can see all of them are really amazing concerning the short working period.

Team The Pigs – Luciano A. Munoz. Gabriel Chiritoi, Krum Petrov

Team Probot – Lucas van Wijngarden, Alexander Spasov, Marton Szabo

Team Michelangelo – Patrick Tew, Zlatka Uzunova, Toman Tomanov, Ekaterina Kolcheva

Team Tosminvasion – Dorian Santner, Nelson Goncalves, Martin Marchev

That was all folks. After this great experience that everybody received with the help of Bassam Kurdali, Sebastian Koenig and Miro Brozovic things had come to their end. We had the pleasure of seeing the final projects of each group and everybody was really amazed by the result. I must say that this year’s projects were one of the best for all this years. The experimental dividing into four smaller groups rather than two big ones lead to unexpected success. Now we have 4 final videos with even greater quality. Soon you’ll be able to see them all. Congratulations to everybody and to those of you who couldn’t manage to come: don’t forget to apply for TOSMI 2012

It’s day 5 and Bassam ans Sebastian have just finished their last lecture for this year. The participants have one more day and from now on they will spend their entire time working on their projects. As usual all the people are extremely motivated and will stay to work during the night.

Day 4 continued with some more shooting outside. All the teams were introduced to the green screen technology and many scenes were shoot in front of it ready to be cut out and integrated into something else. There are only two more days and all the people are working really intensive. Soon we’ll see the results of their labor.

Yesterday evening (9th November) Bassam Kurdali and Sebastian Koenig held a presentation at the cinema house. They talked about the advantages of the newest version of Blender (2.6) and shared some information about their latest project – Tube and Mango. The presentation continued for about an hour and a half and over 80 people came to see it. Here are some photos of it:

After two days of theory it is time for some practice. Day 3 was a shooting day and everybody went outside to take some footage for their movies. After that the footage will be camera tracked and some 3d element will be put.

Hello guys. It’s day 2 and all the people are separated into groups now. Like last week we have 4 groups of people (The Pigs, Smoker, Probot and Michelangelo team) who will work on their projects. Day 2 was about camera tracking. Tomorrow is the first shooting day and participants will shoot some videos outside and will try to integrate them with 3d. Photos:

And every end marks a new beginning so here we are on Day 1 of the Advanced course. Sebastian Koenig has joined the team and with the help of Bassam Kurdali and Miroslav Brozovic the very basics of compositing were introduced. Here are some photos and don’t forget to check our Google+ page where all the photos will be uploaded at the end of each day.

Every good thing has its end and the time has come for the final day of the General Blender course. During this day there were no lectures and the teams were concentrated on finishing their projects. As usual the day become a little longer than normal but lets say that there was no need of day 7 At the end we had the pleasure of watching the final projects of each team and pretty soon you’ll have the opportunity to watch it too here on the website. Needless to say everybody did their best and all the short movies were really amazing concerning the extremely short period in which they had to be done. So, congratulations to everybody… and of course some photos.

It’s the end of day 5 and the course is almost over. The teams have only one day to finish their projects but as we see their progress the movies will go to their proper finish. Today we had Veselin Zografov who helped the participants to produce their sounds. He encouraged everybody to experiment with the object that surround us and the whole process went by with lots of fun.
