On the Way to a Smile: Episode of Denzel

THE SUMMARY

Four years after Meteor fell on Midgar, Denzel meets with Reeve Tuesti and requests Reeve to let him join the WRO (World Regenesis Organization). Seeing his determination, Reeve asks him what his story is and why he wanted to join the WRO so he proceeds to tell Reeve about his life prior to the fall of Meteor.

His story also narrates Denzel's parents dying when the Sector 7 plate falls, living with Ruvie who is revealed to be Reeve's mother during their meeting afterwards and ultimately surviving Meteor's fall and becoming a scavenger in the ruins of Midgar before being rescued by Cloud.

This Episode of Denzel is an OVA adaption of One the Way to a Smile, a part of the novella set in between Final Fantasy VII and the featured film Final Fantasy VII : Advent Children. Ha, how to say...To put it straight forward, it shows the end results of Final Fantasy VII but this time we view it from Denzel's perspective. To me, this Episode of Denzel is rather not being a story but it is more like a philosopher's life. Even though it is so, but I feel not so bad to watch this anime!

This kid is not just a normal child as he continues striving together with his tale of love and lose. Oh gosh, he is damn serious and mature! I was kept being surprised by his tale. He is such a determined and spirited kid! He is determinded to join the WRO in order to shows that he is an independent kid and he don't want everyone to help him so often. I laughed as when their interview ends, Johnny (Tifa's old friend from Nibelheim) teases Denzel who wanna to be stronger like Cloud but ends up hurting girl's heart. Haha

Big Buck Bunny

Today my colleague send this video to me, saying this video is very interesting and entertaining. So I watched this video. Oh wow... It's Big Buck Bunny, a short comedy story, is about a well-tempered big rabbit, "Big Buck" launching a war against the forest bullies: three naughty small rodents as Big Buck finds his day spoiled and jeopardized by the rude actions of three naughty small rodents. I feel pain in my tummy when I was watching this silly war. Hehehe..

Wow, this story is presented with a great 3D animation. In my opinion, this 3D can be compared to Pixar. Definitely in an equally level. When I first watched this video, I was shocked until my jaws almost dropped.. Hehe..I think it's in par with a lot of current computer animated films being produced by Hollywood. It is really so professionally done in 3D animation.

I heard that it is said that BBB is not only developed by an animator community using open source software Blender but also distributed under an open license that gives artists free access to the entire studio database of assets and files used to make the movie.

-Quoted from Ton Roosendaal, a producer Blender Institute director-

The Primary intent of the movie was to stimulate the development of open source 3D software, but the quality of BBB on an artistic level as well as on technical ingenuity is what you would expect from large animation studios.
