My Arcane Recreation

Final project for animation I

This assignment was to recreate a piece of video using household objects. I chose to recreate a scene from the first episode of the animated drama Arcane.
I made this very difficult on myself by choosing to create what amounts to a full bipedal skeleton for my main character. Moreover I chose a difficult scene to reproduce! The main character powder slides down a steep slope and immediately lunges off to swing from a ledge. Needless to say there were many sleepless nights creating this animation.
Because the animation was the main focus of the assignment (and the class :p) I did not flesh out the environment beyond what is interacted with by the characters. With hindsight I see that the beige backdrop makes the wiry paperclips difficult to focus on, especially towards the end when the camera is further away from the characters. When powder gets pulled up by her sister it’s almost impossible to make out the 2 of them.
I want to return to this project, look over the animation one last time, darken the background and light the paperclips more directly, and render out a more definitive version to add to my portfolio, but for now. this will do nicely <3
