The amount of money used to create the effects-filled and dramatic The London Project movie was shockingly low as its producers used a crowdsourced platform for the editing of the film.
Filled with more than 780 advanced computer-generated effects throughout, The London Project was created through the work of individuals in the Blender Community, one which was created under the Blender website, a crowd-coded 3D package.
It is a testament to the new age of collaborative film-making, showing how although the Internet initially is viewed largely as a negative for independent film-makers, it does still have a positive aspect. If you're waiting on The London Project to make its debut, you'll have to wait until midsummer.

The London Project Movie was Created With Little to No Budget
Trend Themes
1. Crowdsourced Film-making - Crowdsourcing is becoming an increasingly popular method for independent filmmakers to get professional, advanced quality for a low budget.
2. Collaborative Editing - The ability to work together in real-time on digital film projects, regardless of physical location, is set to revolutionize the post-production industry.
3. Open-source 3D Software - Open-source 3D design and animation software like Blender is fostering a new era of collaborative, accessible digital art, film-making and new media production.
Industry Implications
1. Digital Film Production - Crowdsourced film-making is posing a serious challenge in the film production industry by cutting down production costs and increasing collaboration opportunities.
2. Animation and Special Effects - Use of crowd sourcing models in the Animation and Special Effects industry is revolutionizing the production of advanced computer-generated effects.
3. Open Source Software Companies - The success of Blender's community-driven 3D package system shows that open-source software companies can pose a real threat to traditional software vendors in industries like film-making.
