Sprite Fright is an 80’s-inspired horror comedy, set in Britain: When a group of rowdy teenagers trek into an isolated forest, they discover peaceful mushroom creatures that turn out to be an unexpected force of nature.
As with previous Open Movies, Sprite Fright challenged Blender’s development team to create new technical capabilities within a production environment. This time the main focus was on pipeline development; on tools and systems to help artists to collaborate and work more efficiently.
Focus was also placed on storytelling, by involving former Pixar story supervisor Matthew Luhn as director.
