Watch The Crowd Sourced Sci-Fi Short, Tears Of Steel

Isn’t it amazing how a bunch of people from the internet can almost always create something better than the so called professionals? The world of crowd sourcing has not only brought us some great new products, but it has also started to bring us some amazing films, especially in the world of Sci fi. OK, the acting isn’t exactly the best, but isn’t that part of what makes a lot of great sci fi memorable?

Official description:
“Tears of Steel” is a short film made in Amsterdam the Netherlands by the Blender Institute, well known for realizing the open source short animation movies “Big Buck Bunny” (2008) and “Sintel” (2010). As usual these films get financing by crowd-funding in online communities of 3D artists and animators. For “Tears of Steel” the funding target was to explore a complete open source pipeline for producing a high quality visual effect film, with as theme “Science Fiction in Amsterdam”.

Producer Ton Roosendaal invited young Seattle talent Ian Hubert to come working in Amsterdam for 7 months to write and direct the film – assisted in Blender Institute’s studio by an international team of 3d and vfx artists, and with a Dutch film crew and Dutch actors.

The film’s premise is about a group of warriors and scientists, who gathered at the “Oude Kerk” in Amsterdam to stage a crucial event from the past, in a desperate attempt to rescue the world from destructive robots.
