Interview with Colin Levy

Posted on 05. Oct, 2010 by Andrew Price in Articles, Interviews

Let me start by saying, what an amazing week for Blender this has been!

It’s barely been 5 days since the release of Sintel and it’s already been viewed over 1 million times on YouTube, heavily discussed on CGSociety, hit the front page of 3d world and is still being tweeted every few minutes (even by celebrities!)

So I think I speak for everyone when I say, “Well done Durian team!” You guys sure know how to get the attention of the public ;)

Last week we interviewed Ton Roosendaal, and this week I’m excited to speak with the director of Sintel, Colin Levy!

In this 57 minute audio interview Colin explains:

Why he was choosen as the directorThe biggest challenges that the team facedWhat he would do differently if given the opportunityHow he deals with criticismHis future plans and aspirations
