WING IT! - Blender Open Movie

--

An uptight engineer gets an unwelcome visit from a enthusiastic wannabe-pilot, causing both of them to be launched into the air inside an out-of-control space shuttle.

Blender Studio is the creative part of the Blender. A dedicated team of artists and developers challenge themselves with creative-technical targets to help Blender users and to drive Blender development forward. This happens in an open source production environment and by sharing everything they make in an open and free license.

Getting a Blender Studio subscription is a way to support the future Blender 🧡

Every Blender Open Movie beautifully demonstrates how capable Blender is, and this is no exception. I especially loved the behind-the-scenes look during the credits.

I don't know why but now I want a full-on animated series with these two.

That blend of 3D with 2D style is as smooth as butter.

This one was exceptional.
Probably my favourite since spring.

1:26 i love how the wings got stuck during the start lol

[chris-hayes]

I can't tell where 2d ends and 3d starts, really well done. I like that Blender bounces between serious and comical movies.

just when I was thinking my videos are finally looking decent I come across this masterpiece.... 🤣

Noone's gonna talk about the sound design now?
That was a giant leap!!!

Watching this at 6am was like taking a time machine to my childhood before-school cartoon binges. Such good vibes, and presented perfectly.

Thanks for reminding me why I became an animator in the first place.

This is a great example how you can combine Grease Pencil with 3D 🥰
Great job guys!

Putting tools in the hands of everyone, allowing them to freely explore different passions (and not just the one the can afford to commit 100% to/get a job in/the one their survival is coupled to), and bringing soul back to these arts, wonderful.

[shawnjolicoeur]

That was fantastic. I'm showing this to my advanced animation class today.

I like the character dynamic between them, and I liked the part where the cat gives a nod of appreciation to the dog for doing something good for once.

I love how Blender keeps pushing the 2D/3D hybrid style of animation. For people who prefer one over the other, I feel like the mix of the two is the best approach. I hope gaming could implement more of this 2D/3D style.

Behind the scenes are wonderful! The cat's shading + the dog's mouth rig. Impressive as always, Blender team!

[vectornull]

Blender always breaks paradigms and makes it clear that it allows you to "step out of the box" whenever you want. Congratulations to those involved!

I saw somewhere that this portraits very well a developer/artist interaction in the Blender community, and it makes A LOT OF SENSE.
While the developers are wanting to make sure that the features [0:54] are working perfectly fine until we're ready to use in a serious/big production -- or flying in this case [1:25] --, most of us, artists, want to take charge and dig into all the tools we see [0:45], even if they are not optimized or fixed, which causes many crashes, just like the space shuttle did [2:44]. Fortunately, in the community we are not piloting a literal space shuttle, so we are allowed to crash it as many times as we want, so we can acknowledge the developers what's wrong and what can be fixed.

This animation is SO cool!!! It's amazing how powerful Blender has become- especially considering its a FREE software!!! Massive respect to everyone who worked on this and to everyone who works at Blender!!!

[PierrickPicaut_PDESIGN]

That was just perfect :)
What a fun short, love the art style and animation!

I've always enjoyed watching all of the videos made with Blender ever since Elephant Dreams.
