The article discusses the challenges faced by the team behind the animated Latvian film "Flow" regarding the use of real animal voices for character authenticity. The director, Gints Zilbalodis, shared that while the voices of the other animals suited their roles, the capybara's natural sounds were not fitting for its character. After experimenting with a tickled capybara, which vocalized more like a barking dog, the team decided to use a baby camel's voice instead, maintaining the character's desired chill vibe. The article also hints at the possibility of incorporating the original capybara voice in an alternate version of the film.
Capybaras, while visually charming, are not ideally suited for narration in films; their real voices can detract from the intended character portrayal.
The decision to opt for a baby camel's voice instead of a capybara, noted director Gints Zilbalodis, was crucial for maintaining the character's chill demeanor.
