       | For the unfamiliar, Blender videos are a staple in the video dev
       | community and certainly the most common insider reference you'll
       | hear. I'd go out on a limb and say anyone that's ever worked on
       | any part of the video stack will almost certainly understand
       | references to Big Buck Bunny, Tears of Steel, etc. For example,
       | the first Demuxed (a conference around video engineering) t-shirt
       | was a reference to Tears of Steel and I've had strangers stop me
       | to comment on it:

         | 4K displays. I'm pretty sure I've seen it at Costco a few
         | times.

       | understand anything of what he was saying (candid feedback,
       | please don't misunderstand).

         | edit: very sorry, ... I know I'm horrible, and this is bang out
         | of order but I can't stop laughing. -\\_(tsu)_/-

         | Yeah. I was in the auditorium and could understand maybe one in
         | four words. The acoustics there seem to be bad as well, so
         | maybe the recording is better enough to make the guy
         | understandable.
