"#Flow was made entirely with #Blender and rendered with EEVEE. Each frame took from about 0.5 – 10 seconds to render in 4k. We didn’t use a renderfarm. The final render was done on my PC. There was no compositing, all the colors were tweaked and adjusted using shaders."

Nice to see some #frugalComputing in theatrical #3D #animation, intentional or not. :neofox_uwu:

blender.org · Making Flow – Interview with director Gints ZilbalodisBy Francesco Siddi

Went to see #Flow! Finally! I loved the characters, and the weird but welcoming look of the 3D-cartoon mix! Super proud it was done in Blender.

It raised a lot of questions too - Did the bird die? Were the animals strangely human or were they metaphors for human behavior and characteristic traits played out by animals? Did humans disappear before the flood, or because of?
(I’ve got more of these, but I won’t push it.)

Saw the dialogue-free Latvian animated film #Flow today at the cinema with my daughter and her friend and I thought it was really beautiful and engrossing. The kids really enjoyed it too - the beautifully observed animal characters hit them straight in the pleasure centres - although some of the dreamlike and surreal elements were a bit confusing for them.

Spent the morning with my amazing friend Diána Laurent. We sat in a café, talked, laughed, plotted a short comic, and she did character sketches for the MCs I came up with. It was inspiring and wonderful. Seeing an artist bring characters to life will always feel like absolute magic to me. ✨

(AI can suck it. It will never replicate this.)

I watched #Flow by director Gints Zilbalodis and co-producer Matīss Kaža. It won the Oscar for best animated feature and remarkably doesn’t have any (human language) dialogue.

It‘s a climate fiction fable – at least that’s my interpretation – with a strong message about friendship and solidarity. And it was made entirely with Open Source software (Blender). I liked it very much.
