Project Gemini

Overview
"Project Gemini is an animated short film project done by pupils of the Animations AG, at the age between 12 to 20, at the Erich Kästner Gymnasium in Eislingen, Southern Germany. Our goal is to produce a short film with a duration of 2-3 minutes until Summer 2012.

Storyline: The film is set inside an asteroid in which there is a colony of robots. They are highly developed, only one gets out of line, an older model from earlier days. Because of his age, he is excluded from society. When the vital-energy generator fails, he becomes the last hope for the colony, due to his independence of the wireless power supply. Can he repair the vital-generator in time?

We use the free software Blender for all 3D tasks and Blender's new render engine Cycles for rendering. Gimp is used for 2D tasks like texture creation. "
