Blender was used for some special effects in the movie ‘Snowblind’, a Wreckamovie project.

I work as a video editor and a 3d&vfx artist in my daytime job, but the customer base and the projects over there are focused more on the educational side.
About the movie: I think it is a digital reincarnation of spaghetti western – as in those days, European low budget filmmakers couldn’t afford to film in the U.S., so they used Italy instead – today, budget is even lower so Italy gets replaced by a green wall. ;) It has many of the nuances that the old spaghetti westerns have, quite in all aspects of the movie, but I guess the old film looking visual style is the most recognizable for the viewer.
Snowblind used Wreckamovie to gather people to work on the movie and at one point there was a task about rotoscoping and particles and that got me interested joining in the project. At that time I had just started to make myself available more to the movie world instead of my normal freelance stuff, which basically included creating websites and 3d visualizations. Snowblind was a great way to build movie vfx reel as I hadn’t had any experience working in any movie before that. Also, Wreckamovie appeared to be a very good tool for networking and I’ve already met many from there in person, including Kalle Max Hofmann who is such a great person to work with, but also hang around with too.
Even though I didn’t get any salary (but some cool Wii-games!! ;) ) from working in Snowblind I already got a _very_ cool movie contact (which I don’t want to jinx by telling about it as everything is on early stage ;) ) by showing the material I made in the movie.
