Flow is very relaxing to watch.
It’s part of its beauty is that there is no speech and the takes are really long with smooth and slow camera movements. I think it doesn’t take a lot of processing to watch.
My dog watches this movie in silence, I’ve seen this movie once. He’s seen it 3 times 😅
Relaxing?
I loved it, but I felt like the cat was about to drown every 3 minutes. Heart strings were taut.
Forgive the pedantry. It’s *taut.
You sure taught 'em!
Thx
THAT’S WHY IT LOOKED LIKE A GAME!!
Back when I first saw the trailer, I instantly assumed it was a game, only to be surprised it was a movie.
The Eevee renderer uses tons of the same rendering techniques as game engines, to achieve its fast rendering speed.
I have to say, when I saw the trailer it absolutely did not make me want to watch the movie.
It looked exactly like an in-engine game cutscene, and that just felt really jarring and disappointing to me, and very visually distracting from actually enjoying the story.
Maybe I should give it a try regardless, but it honestly didn’t inspire me.

It was a little jarring sometimes. The character animations specifically felt very video gamey, like they were being strung together and blended like video games to to allow simi-fluid animations with player freedom. Despite that distraction, the story was great, and the drama of the scenes were top notch.
Honestly I think it happening to a cat instead of a human really made a difference, because we’ve all watched humans fake drown or fake die a million times.
I’ve been watching machinema since I was a wee lad in the 2000s with halo 2 being peak for me. I am so pumped the tech is there for full length feature films! This is like the opposite effect for me, I want “cheaper” methods of making what matters: the story and the narrative using cinematic language. Very glad eevee is getting recognized. Whether it’s hand drawn or rendered in a billion dollar engine that took 50 years to render one frame or with realtime 3d, I don’t care. I just want it to be easy for a kid to say “I have a story to tell and I want it on a screen” and be able to do that without weird criticism like “you did it with the wrong tools”
It played out like a game too
I think the quality of it is impressive. The animation is high quality. The feeling of the characters is well communicated despite the lack of dialog.
With that said, I couldn’t make it more than 20 minutes into it. It was just too painful to watch the cat meowing and in need of help while in mortal danger.
Oh lordy no, between the cat nearly drowning multiple times (I have a long history of recurring dreams of dying by drowning) and the birds torturing the one bird, I’m going to give the whole thing a miss. I really appreciate that whole “Does The Dog Die?” website.
I hope they gave back with some $$ credits lol.
I know paying people in “exposure” is cliche, but I think using your software to make an Oscar award winning film is just about the best kind of exposure you could ask for.
