Reminder – September 15th for Credits!
on September 9th, 2009, by benHi all!
First of all, thankyou so much to all of you who have supported us so far – both financially with the DVD pre-sale campaign and through positive and constructive comments on the blog, forums and all the other digital forms of encouragement sent our way. It is really affirming to have so many people cheering us on at such an early stage!
Not really wanting to plug the money side of things too much because I know times are a bit tough for many people at the moment, but this is a gentle reminder that if you want your name in the credits of the film as a supporter, the September 15th deadline is coming up.
Also, to clarify some things previously mentioned to do with the pre-sale:
- The DVD will still be available for pre-order after September 15th and we will still love you for helping out the project! Your name won’t be in the credits though.
- The reason for not having a Blu-Ray presale is not because we overlooked it in some way, but because of the setup costs involved. (If you would like to help us out in that regard, please let us know!)
Once again, thankyou for your support on behalf of the team!
-Ben

Hi Ben,
what would happen if after months the person who bought the dvd moves and is not living in the same city/country anymore?
How can you handle delivery in that case, and is it easy to contact you and update the contact informations?
Thank you!

Ahhhhhhh!!!! I’m not going to make it….. again!!!!
I hate being broke!
Still at least I can get it later without my credit I guess.

I don’t have paypal and I don’t want to open a paypal account.
I have a Visa Electron: is possible to buy the Durian DVD with that card?
Thank you in advance
September 9th, 2009 at 16:29
@bautz: you don’t have to open a Paypal account. You can click the Paypal link and use the method without the account (on the left IIRC of the page). It’s just like any other bank site. Works very well and no Paypal account is required.
September 9th, 2009 at 16:30
@bautz : Dunno about that card, but can’t you simply pay with a bank transfer? That’s what I did, and it works just fine
Otherwise, just try and see…

Visa Electron sometimes isn’t accepted on the internet.
So I’ve done my order with bank transfer.
Yay!
Tomorrow I’ll go to pay.
Go Durian team!

i have an idea for the BI to make a little bit more money! Posters of concept art! i’d buy some of that
September 9th, 2009 at 17:05
Im from south-america and i want pay the dvd by bank transfer, but they (my bank) charge me around 35 dollars only for the transference (obviously not includes the cost of the dvd)… so, imposible for that way.
If anybody knows a better way to pay (without international credit card or paypal), please tell me…
September 9th, 2009 at 17:18
A crazy idea: maybe send the cost of the dvd for DHL, Fedex or some company directly to the Blender Institute. Its that possible? Its expensive?… i dont know…
September 9th, 2009 at 20:53
Visa electron worked for me..
September 10th, 2009 at 07:30
Only 594 to go. I got mine ages ago, but just may buy another one and donate one to my friend… Ideas guys, come on. Blenders source files were bought within two weeks of being offered by the community back in 2002. Let’s rally behind these guys.
September 10th, 2009 at 08:47
I’m also broke
Ill get it later. 
September 10th, 2009 at 09:56
+1 ordered.. had to do it, like every others blender’s projects: can’t wait to see it
Keep up the good work
September 10th, 2009 at 18:41
My name is going to be hard to spot with all you other guys!
Is it going to be alphabetic or in the order they were donated/purchased?
September 10th, 2009 at 19:42
@Simon: the names will be ordered alphabetically, that’s the only practical solution I think.
September 10th, 2009 at 21:00
the new curve looks very promising
And if it gets even faster, 2000 could indeed be reached in the last 5 days…

1500 should be easily archeivable

Is there no blender animation award this year?
I didn’t see any announce over here
September 11th, 2009 at 00:17
Is there no award festival this year?
September 11th, 2009 at 00:36
BlendNMix, do you mean this?

September 11th, 2009 at 03:34
kram1032: no the festival award during the conference
September 11th, 2009 at 11:47
I’ve done my part! Don’t let me down
September 11th, 2009 at 12:02
It’s weird that you guys have alot of support and sponsors and we on our project don’t.but it seems that’s more like the software than the movie.
September 11th, 2009 at 16:07
@ bautz
just pay via bank transfer as I did. it worked well and fast enaugh. but you have to do it today. otherwise you won’t be mentioned as a supporter in the movie credits.
September 11th, 2009 at 16:40
I just got mine ordered…. I can’t wait!!!
September 11th, 2009 at 20:12
Me too. Good luck guys!

Me llamo asdrubal y soy de Colombia.
Felicitaciones por esta pelicula, que estan realizando, pinta bien. Me gustaria poder separar un DVD, pero, primero mis condiciones economicas no me lo permiten, y segundo, no tengo tarjeta de credito.
De todos modos, estare pendiente de los avances de esta pelicula.
Blender forever.

I ordered mine, but I have in idea, to show how many people are using and supporting this software around the world, how about putting the country after everyones name? This would show the world wide acceptence of the software, and the wide support it gets.
September 14th, 2009 at 04:10
Oh Nooo! give us more time! Please!
I have problems with the bank on-line
September 14th, 2009 at 09:13
1 more week!
:(:(
1 more week!
1 more week! please.
I want my credit.
September 24th, 2009 at 02:20
The 15th deadline is up but the web page still says get your movie credit. Is this true or has the site just not been updated.
September 24th, 2009 at 02:24
Just read the answer to my own question. Sorry
September 28th, 2009 at 07:08
