Best animated film of 2024 according to Césars and Oscars and it’s from Latvia (with help from Belgium and France)
And its the first major movie completely made in Blender! An amazing free and open-source 3D modelling program from the Netherlands
Wait, Blender is Dutch? Cool!
Yeah the foundation is in Amsterdam I think.
I only watched the first bit of it but remember the perspective seemed strange and then a few times it was “shaky” as if the camera man had moved while holding the camera. Was that a stylistic choice by the makers or a learning curve coming into animating within a 3D modeler like that?
Stylistic, it takes extra effort to do that
And created using Blender, open source!!
That was the strangest/best shout-out at the Oscars.
Wait what I didn’t see it, did they call out blender during the speeches.or something?
Yeah, he thanked a bunch of people and slipped in Blender. Unless it was a slip and he meant to thank Bender from Futurama…
I briefly click through it after downloading and thought I accidently downloaded one of those chinese knock-off movies. But apprently it really is supposed to look like that.
Guess the story must be really, really good if that was the best animated movie that year.
