so .. if the open source software is free, what did they spend the $4 MILLION on, catering ? strippers ? donations to *RUMP ?

Hiring animators, writers etc., advertising—animation ain’t cheap lol.

rheuphus.bsky.social•1 day ago

Nothing's cheap anymore.

Like Godzilla Minus One winning for effects on a $15M budget.

It took the teams 5 and a half years I believe, but yes to everything else!

Good

Ok now I really need to watch this movie

FLOW is on Max now!

Watched it tonight. Must have been a protest vote. Serious reservations ... Felt like I was watching my kid play Minecraft.

Viva Latvia!

That film had a great story and super creative people behind it too. GO GET IT, indie animated films!

I’m SO glad “Flow” won! Amazing film!!!! 🎥

Is this the new Shrek?

I've not watched any of them, but I saw the commercial for a VERY baby-book looking movie.

Hold your applause.

Its about the animated movie Flow. Its a phenomenal film. Don't judge a book by its cover

melissawoodruff.bsky.social•10 hours ago

I wasn't, someone mentioned the "new" Shrek, and what I saw of it, I concurred.

I've heard of "Flow"--haven't watched it yet.

alabasterffxiv.bsky.social•10 hours ago

Ah sorry, my misunderstanding! you should check out flow if you can 💜

Almost like giving artists a chance to make what they truly want works. Who could’ve known? 🤷‍♂️

Disney needs to have their boots shake. They're making all kinds of mistakes.

I worry it might make TPTB crack the whip harder on their fx folks.

pepperjackgayming.bsky.social•1 day ago

Which movie was it? (I'm currently not watching the Oscars)

samadams.bsky.social•1 day ago

Flow!

pepperjackgayming.bsky.social•1 day ago

Oh, the one with the cat! I gotta check it out 😺

Beautifully done film. Just watched it this afternoon and laughed and cried.

Good.

Seriously. WTF does Maya still cost $2k annually?!?!?! For the same modeling tools made over 20 years ago?!?! Stop leaching off artists already!

kenfromchicago.bsky.social•18 hours ago

See also #MicrosoftOffice and #AdobePhotoshop. Insanely expensive prices even for old software.😠

jawstudios.bsky.social•1 day ago

Oh wow, didn’t know that about the film. Awesome!

mario-y.bsky.social•1 day ago

And it’s now the third year in a row Disney hasn’t won it

moviesandheists.bsky.social•1 day ago

Good

When it's up against a movie that looks like paint, a low-budget Latvian movie on open-source software, a stop-motion movie, and a foreign claymation movie...

Inside Out 2 is the Odd Man Out

#Blender FTW! 👍

Yes Virginia, Flow won the Oscar award.

Bro hit him with a snarky Francis Pharcellus Church lmfao

From Latvia...

hyrosen.bsky.social•1 day ago

Same thing for The Brutalist, but it's not really a good thing to have people working at starvation level for years to produce art.

rroseperry.bsky.social•1 day ago

It's such a lovely movie. It deserved this win.

Heard they didn’t even delete the default cube, legends.
