'Flow,' an animated film created by Latvian writer and director Gints Zilbalodis, is gaining international acclaim and is nominated for the Best Animation Oscar 2025. Made entirely using the free 3D modeling software Blender, the film follows the journey of a dark grey cat. Gints chose Blender for its speed and flexibility, improving the animation process significantly. With the addition of experienced riggers and collaborators in 2022, they enhanced character animation, showcasing how a small budget can still produce high-quality art in animation.
Gints Zilbalodis, writer and director of Flow, credits Blender's speed and customizability as crucial in creating the animation, making the process smoother and less frustrating.
The arrival of the Belgian and French co-producers in 2022 was pivotal in expanding the team, allowing them to develop more tools and improve character animation.
