Artist Interview: Can Inkscape-made artwork compete in an international film festival?
Which tools did you choose for making ‘Ladrón de flores’ (‘Flowers Thief’), and why?
My journey into Open Source was born out of necessity but turned into a conviction. Initially, I planned to use a well-known proprietary creative suite, but my trial period ended, leaving me without software to start the project. This led to an intense period of research through videos, tutorials, and forums.
I must give a special mention to TJ Free; his YouTube channel was decisive in helping me select the right tools. After discovering the potential of Inkscape, Krita, OpenToonz, Kdenlive, and Audacity, what started as a temporary workaround became a declaration of principles: I decided the short film would be created exclusively with Open Source tools to prove their professional capabilities.
