Maybe it's because it's a field a lot of people are not so familiar with compared to 2D animation, and because it's done on a computer that people overlook it. But Arcane seriously has the best keyframe animation I have ever seen.

      You still need to manually clean up and add animations on top of mocap, mocap isn't magic either, you can't just capture it and transfer it, for realistic animations it gives a basis for animations but you still have to change the whole thing, clean up jitters and other things and then dial the body mechanics of the creature you can animating but for stylized animations like arcane, it's all from scratch and acting out the shots by real persons so they can watch and animate.

    • @mutantmagnet

      "Fortiche real animators, no motion capturing." Come on let's not do that. I do think Fortiche has achieved a level of artistry above any long form show to the point you have to start comparing them to animation teams making movies but let's not dump on people making very hard choices on how to craft their shows.
      I never animated in my life but I can still tell motion captured work still gets touched up on by animators, because this happens all the time for teams making videogames having to deal with the idiosyncrasies of making motion capture work in game.
      Everyone in the industry is doing real work but have different artistic sensibilities and their canvas is constrained by budget and time.

      I'm so glad they took the time to get it right, it's such a great performance that now I can't imagine anyone but Ella Purnell as Jinx. As they said, she really captures both the quiet and emotional parts of the character as well as the eccentricity, rage and trauma. While the game version of Jinx might be one of the most iconic characters Riot has produced she was mostly just "quirky". In my opinion the show team masterfully elevated the character in every way not only by (but in great part via) the acting performance.

    The voice performance of Jinx is outstanding! Ella Purnell is Jinx she stole the show throughout the whole thing from the beginning to the end of the first season I hope we get to see more of Jinx! And sees what happens after the cliffhanger at the end of the First Season! Arcane will always have a special place to my heart! The show may have action but it also has sadness and it's about trauma especially with the character of Jinx because she's going through so much between losing her sister by even though she didn't technically lose her she felt very lost and empty and yet when she became a totally different person it makes you feel like you almost feel sympathetic for her because you know what she's going through this show is phenomenal and I can't wait to see what the future happens for Arcane!

      I think it is less sympathy but more that sadness to see her fall this much, especially since she wanted to help but made it worse without realizing it. That song part "what could have been" underlines this so very well. What Powder could have been if this fateful moment did not take place as it did. So if you feel sympathetic it is mostly because you still go back to the wholesome family bond that she and Vi shared when they were younger, and that longing to get it back, even though everyone understands that this will never be.

    the way that fortiche and the animation style of arcane is sort of bringing back some traditional aspects of filmmaking that we don't have anymore thanks to cgi like matte paintings or the prop making but in a more modern way with 3d models and software is amazing. its evocative of the era of sculpting and stop motion with how they texture the models with the paint-like style like if you were making a clay figure. this bts series is great, so glad it got made because it really shows a whole story behind the story that is really worth the watch

    I am 40 years old, and this is the best tv series I have ever seen (animated or otherwise). And I have watched a lot. You people created a peace of art that that will be hard to surpass, but it shows what passionate people with time and resources can achieve. This show was created from a place of vision and passion. I never played league and never will, but I watched every cinematic, music and lore video that was released and will watch anything remotely related to runeterra in the future. You are the BEST. Love this documentary which only solidifies this opinion. I have complete faith that season 2 will be awesome!!

I've spent days listening to video essays and hours of rewatching the MV's and listening to the soundtrack. Maybe its because its a cartoon or video game adaptation , but I feel like the show isnt nearly as popular as it should be. Like nobody I know watches it or even knows it exists.

    The best episode yet. It never clicked but Arcane does shine with French influence. The environments, the architecture of Piltover, the uniforms, even the logo for Arcane is inspired by the Eiffel tower. It's amazing what can be accomplished with passionate people who are determined to go above and beyond along every step of production.
    The fact that one of the best-written episodes came from collaborative input from the director, writers and storyboard artists is brilliant and really reflects the trust Fortiche have in each other.
    Mia is a fantastic actor and should be in more live-action roles where you can appreciate her performance in a demanding role. Can't wait to hear more about the music.

I relate so much with Jinx and with Powder where it all started and to see their relationship blossom and then…..well yknow, hurt so much because that’s kinda how I feel as a lonely only child with 2 working parents (who feels she’s a burden and shouldn’t ask for much, trouble em more when they’re so busy). Ep 3 broke me. Well the whole show did. Powder’s VA is phenomenal. Best kid acting the way she did that I’ve ever seen. And Ella…..man. I have no words.
