Project Gold Update

The past several months of development and pre-production for project Gold have been creatively and technically challenging, and while we have achieved some exciting advancements, as we head into production it’s clear that there is not enough creative energy left to execute the project at the level it deserves.

After careful consideration, and in consultation with the Blender Studio crew and with the director, I’ve taken the sad and difficult decision to stop the production of project Gold after completing the current phase of preproduction.

With this in mind, we will create a showcase featuring a selection of shots and breakdowns, executing them to the best of our abilities and delivering it to the Blender community as a demonstration and tribute to our efforts. Along with the showcase, the studio will make sure that the complete process and data will be shared through assets, production logs and blog posts on the studio website for all subscribers to enjoy.

I’d like to sincerely thank Jericca for supporting the proposal to rework the project into this form, all the additional creative contributors to the project, and the Blender Studio team for rising to this new creative challenge.
