The Blender Foundation is an organization involved in furthering the open source Blender3d project through development in film. Blender3d is (as its name implies) a software package supporting 3d animation for use in film, video games and other media.
Today is the first time I've run across this project and the trailer pretty much got the goosebumps to raise up on my arms, which isn't very common with animated films backed by massive budget production companies. Goosebumps on arms is pretty much how I measure the quality of any form of multimedia, including music - if it causes goosebumps I declare it to be something of rare quality.
Therefore this is definitely something I would highly recommend paying attention to. Since this particular film does not have a traditional producer covering the financing, but instead operates on sponsorship, it is already shaping up to be an amazing production. What's also cool about it is the fact that through their development of this movie they are helping the Blender3d software improve, which in theory should continue to yield further gorgeously animated media.
