Animation Students React to: A New Dawn | League of Legends

[@AniValleyReacts]

A blast from the past! This was my first lol cinematic i saw. Which one was yours?

[@TheDonmayo]

My first one was A Twist of Fate.

[@OrAngeAnArchy]

I feel like it was mostly, yall gushing over the beautifully rendered scenes, characters and animation. heheh still great to watch. Oh! you guys should watch some of Blur Studios VG cinematics.

[@JPaekk]

I think it was "Trails if the Poro" , but i am not sure.

[@agnivela]

Mine is Ignite MV!

[@trymetime]

this is still such an amazing cinematic even now 9 years later 🤯 I come back to this one every so often cuz it's just so special! Loved how a lot of the analysis about the personality of characters is so uniform for everyone. Like it's so obvious to everyone watching and reacting to this how these characters behave and are as people that everyone draws the same conclusion and that conclusion is only drawn from movement and visual cues! Absolutely amazing work by the (in-house) animators involved.

[@AniValleyReacts]

Yes! I was so happy to hear that everybody appreciated to super nice acting and animation. Really goes to show how good of a job they did on this cinematic

[@JPaekk]

And that's what I love about this film, not a single word but everyone gets what it's about. And the fact that it's one of Leona's few appearances in cinematics.

[@AniValleyReacts]

Yesss!!! Leona needs more love! This is just what I love about animation, you can tell a story without dialog and it doesnt feel weird or unnatural but makes it even better

[@jaimecardona92]

This was also the og cinematic for me, amazing how well it holds up. Thanks for the breakdown, you guys opened my eyes to stuff I hadn't noticed before.

[@AniValleyReacts]

Ahhh thank you for watching, happy that there are more people who appreciate this cinematic :D

[@TheDonmayo]

When I first saw this animation I was blown away, all these years later it still holds up so well!

[@AniValleyReacts]

Agreed. Usually cgi ages really bad but this still feels really fresh even almost 10 years later

[@Adonna2424]

I hope they come back to doing something more cinematic battle like like this. It really hasn't aged much - still fantastic! Thank you!

[@AniValleyReacts]

Yeah i agree. I really enjoy the more story driven things they did in the more recent years but i will never say no to a action fight sequence like this one :D

[@arturoflash]

It's 19 years old and it's still so good. Such a good cinematic. 1am brain is not the most optimal brain to comment

[@foxy-uo1nm]

if you think this is 19 years old than you are sick my friend, no offense

[@AniValleyReacts]

Maybe a typo ;) but the fact still stands, this still looks amazing even in 2023

[@arturoflash]

@@foxy-uo1nm Yeah. I think I heard 2004 while watching the video at 1am 😂

[@nukaakalund-mathussen1076]

what a great episode more of this please, everyone was excited about the video, and had great and interesting insights that non animators could find interesting

[@AniValleyReacts]

Thank you!

[@ifapollovisitedtajmahal5273]

The og cinematic still holds up, simply beautiful

[@AniValleyReacts]

100%

[@imbranc]

Oh a classic!

[@AniValleyReacts]

Hell yeha!

[@Crescent-Adam]

I also hope they give us more battle cinematics like this one but with the updated models. Lore and music videos are cool and everything but I feel like their best ones usually involve fights.

[@AniValleyReacts]

Yeah, also with all the new champions, i'd love to see renata in a fight man

[@PappyMandarine]

This is still my favorite cinematic from League of Legends. Which is yours? :)

[@malingenlockne8156]

nice reaction into details! League really has very top tier cinematics 🙂Btw I wonder if you guys could also react to World of Warcraft cinematics...Their animation is also par with league 👍

[@AniValleyReacts]

True, i really like them and how realistic the shading is. Sadly we are now officially done with reacting
