Really liked it when they said "its cinematic time" and then produced a better cinematic for a skinline than the 2023 cinematic that needs to make us hyped for the new season
I like how this cinematic has characters in it, thats never been done before in the history of riot's cinematics, maybe next, they'll give us dialogue and characters at the same time, amazing, i cant wait to see the day we have movie-tier cinematics with combat and realistic cg models and the like. Just imagine if one they they're no longer a small indie company and can give us a series based on lore.
Yeah i hope one day they can make billions of dollars and give us a great masterpiece as a cinematic, with great voice acting as well. I wish to this small indie company the best of luck
Well riot’s main audience is Chinese so it would make sense to do so??? What are you complaining about? The world revolves around money, not around you
I’m so glad to read this! I composed the music and was sent sound files of the voice actor doing all kinds of riffing and lines, so I chopped them up to fit the tempo of the music! It was a blast to do!
There is no way they had no time/resources for a new season cinematic but they produced a full art-styled cinematic for Chinese new year. There is just no way...
@@Yokai_Yuri and what’s even sadder is that the season cinematic isn’t even supposed to be catered to the west at all. Like Chinese players are also mad about it so riot is literally just stupid.
That was the idea of the video director. I was the Creative Director on this. We had a meeting with the music team and we kept making noises with our mouths to describe what we wanted. I was making fun of our team beatboxing skills. That’s how it reminded the Director that there was a B-side track of Zoe beatboxing. So we added it. I am very happy about that addition, it makes a difference. Our goal was to make something with personality and different.
Thank you. I was the lead Creative Director on that project. We wanted something fun and cute indeed. I wanted to showcase the joy of LUNY, the spirit of fun & celebration. Initially, this piece was supposed to be entirely made of paper but we didn’t have the time, unfortunately.

This was so adorable, can tell alot of time and care went into making this and it came out great. Now just wish riot took this mentality more and puts effort in all places

@@thegames4565 They're forced to make it this good to please Tencent, so Lunar Revel won't ever disappoint unless Riot wanna make their Chinese overlords unhappy.
no, more like "the call" they fell down so far in one year its sad, in that cinematic there is more detail in pantheon's hands than there is in the whole of the 2023 one
While I want to agree, compared to the one we just witnessed, yes this is much better - not necessarily as good as it is supposed to be. (I'm not trying to be a pessimist, just saying that when comparing what we saw, anything is better and good compared to that.)
@@marllenns you know you can sound at least close to offensive by spelling the word right? Anyway, didn't expect uneducated people like you to have some reason.

os cara deu mais importância pra animação de um evento que completamente nichado do que a animação de começo de temporada que é algo que todos que jogam esperam pra ver
Claramente é pq esse evento tem um apelo por parte dos povos asiáticos, a Riot não tá nem aí o nss dinheiro não é nada perto do lucro q o mercado da Ásia entrega
even this one looks better than 2023 cinematic
Well, it is a chinese event...
Not a high bar.
Big daddy tencent splash money everytime a Chinese events comes. There's no wonder in this 😂
I agree
Well it’s actually got a plot and probably took more than 2 minutes to conceptualize so yeah
Really liked it when they said "its cinematic time" and then produced a better cinematic for a skinline than the 2023 cinematic that needs to make us hyped for the new season
Man you are harsh, they were just revealing new neeko midscope ability smh
Don't forget that's a chinese targeted skinline, makes it even more maddening.
"needs to make us hyped" 💀
it was so bad i didn't even realise it was the season start cinematic and thought it's just one of these short videos riot made

Of course a skinline cinematic looks better than the 2023 opening cinematic, just shows where riot priorities are.
This indeed looks better than the previous one but judging from the performance it's low budget also. I wonder where they invested the money.
The cinematic made for us vs. The cinematic to satisfy their Chinese overlords

Definitely and I bet this is just the teaser cinematic I am sure they have alot more

Yeah I'm sure they put there budget for new league Clint:)
Riot: U know me
Love the Blizzard and Diablo reference
Remixing Zoe's noise from her voice lines has more effort than the entire 2023 cinematic
Riot is the type of goof to have "ca-ching" sounds played whenever they see a profitable event or a large sum of money
That was the idea of the video director. I was the Creative Director on this. We had a meeting with the music team and we kept making noises with our mouths to describe what we wanted. I was making fun of our team beatboxing skills. That’s how it reminded the Director that there was a B-side track of Zoe beatboxing. So we added it.

1. Transportation
2. Yordle
3. Sadness (but soon happiness)

old polygon? the cinematic was trash compared to The Call but it was a pretty nice looking map

Wow, Riot Games is so good at prioritising the budget and effort of their cinematics.
Said nobody ever
but this is also low budget lmao

The fact that I have no idea who some of these Characters are supposed to be really shows how much visual clarity has gone down the drain.
the artstyle is so gooooddd, much better than the 2023 cinematics tho lmao

This is the 2023 season cinematic for me from now on wp riot
Maybe the real cinematic is the friends we made along the way
its like an ester egg hunt! look guys we found some of the league of legends budget!
Much more love and wholesomeness - and emotions in general than in the season 2023 trailer
why this look better then 2023 cinematic
So telling that Riot gives a better cinematic to a skinline than its actual, you know, main game
Yes I'm sure this cinematic will make them more money 🤡
It’s the magic school bus!
I loved it, Irelia looks STUNNING!
all future cinematics will be better than the 2023 cinematic
Not very hard to achieve 💀
aside from the lack of budget, the cinematic also felt unispired and devoided of meaning.
Here we have it guys, reason why the cinematic was the way it was, just other priorities
