Flow is an enchanting film about the journey of a cat. It is notable for a few reasons – no words are spoken as the cat makes friends, gets out of scrapes, and generally survives a (post human?) drowning world.
It is also the first Academy Award nominated movie made in Blender! With a budget of only $4 Million, it is a testament to the power of open source.
Blender spoke with the director Gints Zilbalodis:
…Blender’s mission, where a small, independent team with a limited budget is able to create a story that moves audiences worldwide, and achieve recognition with over 60 awards, including a Golden Globe for Best Animation and two Oscar nominations.
How did you learn Blender?
I learned a lot online, but it was great to have someone with more experience next to me (Konstantīns). He did a lot of rigging and was much more technical than me, so I could ask him for advice. Sometimes, I needed something specific in the animatic, like the deer moving in a spiral, and he would write a script to automate it. This was before Geometry Nodes.
