Furina vs Nahida: Trial of Archons [HoYoFair Cut] | Genshin Animated Short

[@Enthralpy]

*LET'S GOOOOOOOO* This was my first time working as a storyboard artist and it was so surreal to see my hilariously badly animated 'storyboards' get turned into works of art by the animators Quack and Suji! Glad to see so many ppl enjoy this 😭 Also I got to animate one single shot and it's the Venti flashback at 2:20. Subu liked how I animated him in the storyboard and was like 'hey wanna animate this?' and i was like 'A surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one' fun fact: the 'ahem' at 1:49 wasn't in the script. Ariana (furina's VA) actually coughed in the recording but didnt remove it from the audio file. I heard it and was like 'hehe im gonna do a funny' and put it into the storyboard as a joke. i didnt expect it to make it to the final product LMAO

As soon as Nahida whipped out those 'person', 'weapon' and 'location' cards - I just knew the twist would be they were playing Cluedo the whole time. Well done!

[@enterprisethesylveon5787]

Placing this here for anyone curious, Cluedo is known as Clue in North America.

Finding out that this was written before 4.2 makes it so interesting because the writing here actually would feel like it was written during 4.2 etc. I can only imagine the first time the Archons came in and were like "Let's play!" Furina had multiple panic attacks internally but as she had her duty to do she had to act casually and relaxed as if talking to equals which is funky and sounds in-character. At least to me :]

[@Luucarii]

hi hi (furina’s VA for the animation here!) i actually recorded two separate takes of the entire script, one before 4.2 had dropped and one after having played the AQ and while this doesn’t align itself with canon directly, i did record furina’s lines on that second take with knowledge of the AQ in mind and while only adds minor layers to an overall fun, silly animation, it’s still a performance I’m extremely proud of and am glad to see people pick apart small things like that in analyzing the short!!
