First time I watched 'Flow' was at the cinema, but upon second viewing I can now confirm that the internet was right about the effect that the film has on cats. Can also confirm that it remains a masterclass in visual storytelling, and a beautiful and tender tale about survival and found family that evokes thoughts and emotions without the use of any dialogue.

Such an incredible achievement by a small team, all done with open source software. People keep repeating how impressive it is that it was created in Blender for good reason, because it is legitimately one of the most stunning animated films that have been released in the recent years. 100% worth every bit of praise it has received.

Unlocking Inner Peace: The Benefits of Reiki Nature Meditation

Unlocking inner peace begins with embracing the transformative power of nature meditation, a practice that nurtures the mind, body, and spirit while fostering a deep connection to the natural world. This serene approach allows individuals to quiet the chaos of daily life and encourages mindfulness and self-awareness, inviting a sense of tranquility that permeates every aspect of existence. Immersing in the sights and sounds of nature, whether through a gentle breeze rustling the leaves or the soothing rhythm of waves crashing on the shore, helps dissolve the stresses and anxieties that often overshadow our lives. This meditative journey enables clarity, rejuvenates our energies, and cultivates a profound appreciation for the beauty that surrounds us, guiding us toward harmony and balance within ourselves.

New Earth is manifesting with geographical and solar changes. As part of the Earth’s creative process, energetic frequencies are raising. What is not in tune or in harmony with these higher frequencies will not be supported. The shifts occurring are welcoming Divine Feminine energies as the old patriarchal beliefs and structures fall away. This alchemy of Creation is palpable. Allow the Light to flow through you and ride the waves of rebirth through the breath. It’s a process and requires time. “Creation” (C)2025 Karen Ollis https://www.ollisphoto.net #KarenOllisPhoto #FLOW #FINEARTPHOTOGRAPHY #NATURE #FRESHWATER  #CONSERVATION

"#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.
