Exactly. Lately in other films/shows the female characters are never done justice since they act like being a woman alone is good enough for a character trait sadly which is just patronizing. In Arcane, they treat the characters like actual people that we can understand and relate to.

When they talk about the simplicity about the mechanical arm, I think that's a huge plus. Because my brain can understand every movement and piece going on, so it looks interesting and functional. When I see something like a transformation on the Michael Bay transformers movies I just see a blob of nonsense, it's too complex so I just see visual noise and it's less interesting than this thing that I can read and understand how it works.

[@shaunswieringa171]

Yup agree 100%. Yeah the detail of like the transformers is cool to see maybe once in a controlled environment, but with it always being that way it just kinda becomes visual diarrhea and looks like blurry shapes mashing into other blurry shapes. This arm has that level of detail where I think, Yeah this could actually exist to a degree and that really sells the awesome factor of it.

[@TheRibottoStudios]

"it's part of the performance." THANK YOU for mentioning that. Animation, once it all comes together, it's so much more....IN DEPTH than any live action anything ever. EVERYTHING goes into animation, even a characters pose cause it will say so much about the scene, the character, the tone. Your mind can connect to the body language of what's going on really easily with animation vs live action. You can see Jinx scream and slam her hand against the machine and go "oh she's kinda losing it." or see Powder crouched low on the ground, huddled in on herself and go "she's distraught." a character widening their eyes and their pupils constricting is so much more impactful than a human widening their eyes cause you can REALLY get up close and personal with it. Animation is an art, and the art is putting on a show. More people need to understand this.

[@feral_orc]

Sounds like what actors do, it's not really *more* than anything live action

[@ayblablabla]

[@pearodox]

The only thing I didn't like (and it's very nit picky) is how obnoxiously overemotional Jinx could be at times. I understand it's part of her character, but it got to the point of being annoying sometimes. Like, oh here we go, she's gonna have another tantrum again.

[@DarthRayj]

@@pearodox That's not just part of her character, it's part of how someone who's been intensely traumatized repeatedly from a young age IS. I've been romantically involved with more than one person with Borderline Personality Disorder, one of whom straight up said Jinx in Arcane is highly relatable, and that is sometimes how people can act. Yes, it gets annoying, but like, it's REAL, it's not just Riot being quirky and making the character a trigger-happy maniac (which is actually more accurate to her in-game persona); they actually took the time to write her as if she was highly traumatized. It's part of why you don't ever know *what* she's going to do when she has a tantrum. Her in-game persona would be predictable and blow something up, but with Arcane, she might break down sobbing, she might blow something up, she might pretend like everything was fine but you'd still know something was off, she might blame someone else, she might blame herself, you DON'T KNOW what she's going to do but the possibilities are never good, for herself OR anyone else.

[@wolflahti412]

When watching Arcane, every few minutes my brain had to just step back and marvel in awe at how well presented the visuals were-in artistic rendering, pacing, timing, readability (Alex's "antic" and follow-through).... Normally, this would disrupt my immersion in the story, but in the case of Arcane, it didn't matter because it was so frakkin' good.

[@Nightflash28]

I agree and I cannot praise the show enough for everything it does. Even the blocking on nearly every shot is so incredibly well thought through and adds so much to the visual story telling. I've rewatched the show about 6 times now, and I still find new little details that I hadn't noticed or paid much attention to before. Absolutely incredible.

[@AlbertoDsign]

Alex's antic?

[@shaunswieringa171]

Also totally agree. I spent equal parts invested in the amazing story as I was at the amazing visuals and animation. Then you throw on the great acting and perfect music for the mood and its one of those, just about perfect in what its trying to do, type shows.

[@Jorfy]

my brain had to stopp cause the story is stupid for making me feel shit.

[@FanNotANerd]

My favourite part about the boxing scene that they didn't really touch on it how it sells that Jinx COULD have beaten Vi's score if she was more controlled. Between the braids, the follow-through and pose variety they're showing a *lot* of wasted movement, whereas Vi is always tight, controlled and in a centered posture. But of course that's central to both their characters: Vi is typically very controlled, whereas Jinx is right on the edge of losing it at any given time, and this is yet another fantastic example of how that's demonstrated via their respective fighting styles.

[@alpaq6273]

Whenever I watch animation I tend to forget that everything is intentional. Unlike with live action, where things can happen incidentally, every pixel in animation has the thought of its creator behind it.

[@AndaraBledin]

This show was sooo good. And news is that no matter what happens between Riot and Netflix, they're sticking with their animation partner so strong, they went and invested in the crew for future productions, including the next season of Arcane.

@@DarthZ01 Hate to burst your bubble, but... "Riot has faced allegations and lawsuits claiming a toxic workplace culture, including gender discrimination and sexual harassment.

Surprised that no one mentioned how spectacular was the fighting choreography, in special Vi's boxing. It was really on another level imo, how it really feels like real boxing and a real fight, the weight, the speed, the cleanness, it just feels right. Really like how they contrast her with others (most blatant example being in the Enemy music video).

[@iurifrazao454]

@@ianjohnson8419 Ohh thanks, hadn't seen that one. It doesn't talk about the boxing but it a really great analysis on how great these fights are on storytelling. Imo that was the best aspect of the series, the fighting scenes communicate so much about the world, they are pillars of the world building not just action after the world was explained. Jinx x Ekko talks a lot about their previous relationship and hints how they deal their with memories, ekko using his memories for combat and jinx being haunted by her past. Vi and Jayce really shows how confident and experienced Vi is in a fight (sharp, clean objetive hits, dodges) compared with Jayce's anxiety followed by over excitement (overkill hits, slow big swings, close calls). That fight is extremely important to understand why Jayce changed his approach to the situation after he experienced a real fight with casualties.

I've trained my dogs to understand anticipation movement... by doing that same looney toons movement before I dash across a space so now my dog barks and bolts forward just by doing that antic sometime even just doing slow motion movements makes them think i'm gonna run or dash! This further supports that dogs understand that reality has rules this was supported by a study that if a dog was shown a physics engine of a ball then they would be uncomfortable and confused when the creator animated the ball to move in a way that it wouldn't in real life! so I have been applying this methodology since one if my dogs is particularly smart in this area to see how far I could push it and train new rules to build anticipation that it's simply how that works... only to break those expectations by doing something completely different to see if he can understand that the rules I built originally never existed to begin with and can understand that there are rule of unpredictability... it's my hope to train him to think smarter with adaptive thinking by allowing him to understand that some rules aren't set in stone! and that new rules can be made!... I understand in this process if I could succeed i'd be making a monster who will manipulate you to get his own way... but as long as I get him to compartmentalise that to specific situations not situations dealing with humans it would be best... incidentally in this process i've found him slowly become more well behaved i've already trained him to give me his paw instead of barking loudly to say please and when I have a treat he does this now without command putting his paw on my leg or on any surface he can find pre-emptively to say please in advance! the older dog she I still have to say "paw" to... he however just gives me his paw without asking... often resulting in a hand shake because he has learned that if he does this he not only gets the treat but gets praised for being a such good boy! So there have been benefits to teaching my dogs critical thinking, with the older dog it doesn't work so much but due to the younger dog having the mentality of a puppy still... he is curious and fascinated always watching and listening to what family members do... he's studying us and is eager to learn more from us... which means he has untapped potential in intelligence that others could see due to his child like nature... but due to my autism I can relate in that regard used to being underestimated myself i'm developing a strong bond like an older brother! and I perhaps am the only one in the family capable of training and teaching him due to my unique position and my ability to understand emotive behaviour in both humans and animals just by looking and analyzing them there and then! I dunno how the studies of Milo and my training him may bare fruit for society but who knows what the future brings really anyways i'm gonna continue watching and stop tangenting

fascinating to have Alex snow explain what he things and consequently show us the mind of how a animator works. Really awesome to get a sense of how he sees a scene and the work .

[@DUHRIZEO]

I would love to hear more of this guy's thoughts on this level of work from a smaller team, especially coming from his perspective working on massive Disney projects. I feel there are probably loads of benefits to cutting out chunks of red tape and management from a big company production. We already see tons of this with indie game studios with lots of them being run by people who used to work at big corporate places. I'm excited to see where film and animation is headed with smaller powerful teams.

[@donovan802]

ARCANE?!?!? LET’S GO!!!!! I’ve seen many people say that the reason it took roughly 6 years to make was because the developers were trying to use the animation software that they thought was best for the show, and many said it was Houdini

[@ksemi]

And mostly because the animations are hand-made, frame by frame, they havn't use any Motion Capture. It's also the case for most of the VFX, they are 2D hand-drawn.

[@rraptor158]

So what was it animated with?

[@denvermiller5091]

They weren't actually working on it for all 6 years either, though. A huge part of that was preproduction stuff or just it being on the backburner.

I'm pretty sure they were only actually MAKING the show for about 2-3 years. Before that was a ton of pre work and it being ignored.

Nope, first episode was written in 2015, shelved for three years, resumed in 2018, announced in 2019, slated for release in 2020 but got delayed to 2021 because of COVID. It took so long mostly because they didn't want to outsource.

Hey guys! I really think you guys should look into the "Love, Death & Robots" anthology from Netflix, some of the best, most high-quality animation and CGI i've seen in a long time! I rewatched both volumes recently and after watching your 'React' series I have a new-found appreciation for it. A LOT of the episodes use more realistic CGI (some episodes also seem to incorporate comping, mo-cap, or real footage), but many of the episodes use more stylised 3D-animation, I think you guy could give some really interesting criticism and/or feedback. But regardless of whether you see this or not, I love Corridor content and i'm glad to support you. Keep up the fantastic work!

This NEEDS to be the future of 3D-Animation. It looks so good, not just from a "oooh, this is so clean" perspective (like let's say Frozen 2, or Encanto), but from an artwork perspective. This is just beautiful art

[@cabnbeeschurgr6440]

I think that stylised feel is lost in a lot of the new Pixar movies, they'd rather have hyper realistic textures and environments

[@wisgarus]

I love the animation of it it's just so... full and whole with so many details and satisfying movements. And I love the look of it with it having so many muted colors accented by bright glows. However the 2D effects I am not the biggest fan of. They're not of poor quality and they are very smooth, but you can tell they were composited in. In some parts it feels natural like the smoke or steam coming out the gauntlet vents, but say when they clash weapons, it feels like the effect is just on top of everything like a sticker as opposed to a natural part of the scene. I think the issue is that it doesn't correspond and commit fully to the perspective and focal length and all these different factors you need to keep track of in 3D. I think it'd be better if they had these 2D effects in the 3D software to align them better and make them feel more like they're happening within the scene as opposed to on top. There's just a lot of other productions, both high budget and indie, that managed to do 2D effects in 3D a lot better, I feel. And I think here it'd be better if they just did a lot more 3D VFX in the mix with 2D.

[@senatordodo4240]

you think so? I never noticed it, i thought it was really good throughout and never thought it felt off

@senatordodo4240 My eye just immediately jumps to it. It don't look right to me. IMO they should have done their effects more low-key and just a little less cartoony, while still being cel shaded and true to the art style. Honkai Impact 3rd's cinematics did it a lot better IMO

Nice We need more stuff like this. it is beautiful, and almost like Invincible in that it's almost R rated. I almost prefer animation to live action bc you're not constrained by what's physically possible, some stories just can't be told through live action. THis and SPiderverse are good examples. film and tv is so focused on making it look photoreal, when that was never the point. the point was to make art, and art doesn't have to look photoreal. From a writing standpoint, this show is just a masterpiece. there's like over 80 analysis videos on this one show, each one covering a diffferent aspect of the show. that's really saying something. truly an inspiration to all artists out there
