Hothouse

Hothouse 6 is a wrap and, my, what strange fruit it has born! And with only 3 months from idea to release, it was over before you could say  ‘stereoscopic three dee’. The filmmakers brought a tidal wave of energy, creativity and professionalism to their work and surprised everyone with their quick grasp of 3D filmmaking techniques. Ranging from stop motion to digital drawings to CGI and SANDDE™ animation, each of the films takes a unique approach to 3D storytelling, not to mention the very-short format (1min), and we can’t wait to unveil them to you. The strategy for distribution is now the burning question and we are considering all the options (based on the holy trinity of quality, access and cost). As soon as there is any news we will let you know. In the meantime remember that the blogs this year were posted not here but on the central NFB Blog; be sure to check out posts from the filmmakers and recent interviews by web writer Carolyne Weldon.
