Crazy to think Fortiche started with 5 people. I can't imagine the stress of the initial team. I'm sure this was a hugely collaborative effort from Riot to help Fortiche scale along with the show. Goes to show that if you bring something unique as a small studio you can actually make companies like Riot ignore other larger and more established studios.

So, there's an entire live action version of the Arcane series, starring French animators in their own apartments and with plushies and other kind of weird objects as placeholders. I would buy a bluray pack to actually see this
@kirachandesuu
it's insane that KD/A's first MV was literally for Fortiche to stay afloat
@Thecrunkcoco
9 years of production. Insane! Truly something special.

After having had a almost 30 year professional 3D computer Animation career. I have to say , this is THE BEST animated masterpiece I have seen, EVER ! It is fantastically gorgeous ! Even better then the stuff we made at Pixar during my almost 20 years stay there. Way to go Fortiche. btw ... I also started in Europe. Belgium to be precise ...
@radhikaart2096
Just finished season 2. This is the most gorgeously animated thing I have ever seen. A masterpiece.

“Jayce” and the pillow hammer sent me. Bravo for bringing that to life!
@marclenraymagdaraog691
Combining 2D with 3D is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.. it's mixes so much. not to mention the addition of Camera movement making things feel like. it's being filmed by a person is insanely good.
@wXllflwer
This gives me hope that studios out there will continue to be authentic and real instead of using Ai. I really want to be an animator one day. I'm so happy to see this
@Sherif-the-Watcher
Season 2 premieres tomorrow, which is my birthday! Wouldn't miss it for the world
@immocker
Arcane and especially season 2 is the best thing I saw on screen this year. An amazing, non-obvious story full of plot twists. Heroes who stay in our memory, situations we experience with them. And this animation... This animation looks amazing! I'm in love!
@djork6518
this is amazing bc they have to be somewhat quite capable actors too to conscientiously pull off subtle movements and facial expressions the jinx ref animator IS KILLING ITTTTTT
@mmirzoan
5 people at first is honestly INSANE. Wow.
@Sisyanor
There is no going back from this level of excellence and this approach of seemlessly blending 2D, painting and 3D animation. Bravo.
@folkengames
04:10 this dude modeling Sevika makes so much sense. She has such natural swagger.
@snowy2619
Fortiche ABSOLUTELY cooked with Arcane, insanely beautiful art and story telling. I appreciate this video a lot as it really shows how much love and effort is put into this show from all ends. ❤
@darney_marks
Arcane has inspired me so much. It’s my favourite series of all time. Such a masterpiece in storytelling. The charcater designer, animation, sound design, score, voice acting and writing are truly outstanding. I’ve always wanted to become an animator. Instead I went to film school out of fear of failure and insecurity in my ability’s to do animantion. I recently just graduate and working as a production designer. And needless to say I’m not happy. It can be fun work, but it’s not my calling. Sometimes, I cry at work just because I feel unfulfilled. I’m going to dedicate the next year of my life to creating a portfolio to getting animation school. Since arcanes second season release, I feel the need to do it more than ever. Thank you for this video. It’s truly an inspiration to see the Fortiche and Riot games create such beautiful work
@PL4Ymsc
I believe we are just witnessing the life work of some artists here. I am OBSESSED
@Bonafide_Shaun
I think we need to give credit to the animators for their physical performances. I love the movement Jinx had @3:53 when she raises her gun
