Does no one realize this? popstars music video was like set "at the bottom"( Subway train station, road tunnel, a laundrymat) now they're at "the top"( On top of a skyscraper, expensive looking rooms, fanciness everywhere) it shows how much they've grown.
@@thugnificentrecords is not really about the single video itself but the exposure they got afterwards making them more widely known and therefor making more overall revenue through other ventures of business.
@@thugnificentrecords even in Real life Pop/Stars made Riot more Richer Before Black pink released Full Album Pop/Stars was one of the most successful Kpop songs of all time
Akali going from a mask in her face to a whole bike helmet also with neon in it. Ahri going from sitting on a washing machine to a throne (lit the queen). Kaisa going from going faster than speed of light to altering the gravity Evelynn going from circle glasses to sharped ones BUT STILL CARRIED THE WHOLE VIDEO!!!
@@azeTrom17 In theory, it would be easier to alter gravity than traveling faster than light. If you were to somehow alter the magnetic field around Earth you could alter gravity. But traveling faster than light creates extremely high pressure and heat that I'm not even sure Kai'Sa's "living-skin" could handle.
@@FoxyEntity lol kinda my point Although it should be mentioned that the concept of traveling faster than the speed of light is purely theoretical and doesn't entirely check out mathematically, so plenty of physicists don't believe it's possible. And gravity is just unknown still. Plenty of theories about what it is and how it works, none of which are "confirmed." If relativity is close to truth, each of us are already altering gravity :)
The new Character, Seraphine (The blue haired girl). She's a new champion that's a singer, and she had a very interesting marketing campaign. You see, her K/DA persona actually has social media accounts. You can look up @seradotwav on twitter and instagram. She posts things and "photos" (they're actually just drawings) about her daily life, and we saw her journey throughout the past 4 months or so.And she's exactly that indie singer that covers musics and does everything in her room. Eventually, "she was discovered by one of the members of K/DA and she was invited to collaborate with them."
The first time I watched this I couldn't keep my eyes off the gorgeous animation and transitions. I also agree, this is one of their best videos yet. They should just start Riot Records at this point ahaha
I think that Dutch angle makes her look like a predator, the swipe of her mouth, the slow walk and the tilt. Since she’s a demon? Maybe. That’s my favorite part
6:05 talking about projector rooms: you should read up on how Riot Games held their entire Worlds 2020 tournament in a giant projector room cuz of Covid
@@ShatteredFocusProductions There is a gif of G2(one of the teams) emulating to drop Caps to the "pool" if u want a preview. I think they uploaded it to their Tw page, if u want like a preview.
@@ShatteredFocusProductions check out the opening videos from each stage: you can find them by scrolling down on lolesports.com. They use the projector room with AR and they render it in 32K!
The part you mentioned at 12:54 is actually easily replicable in Kpop because of how consistent the dancers are. You can search up stage mixes on RUclips where people edit together different performances of the same song, and the transitions are so seamless it's kind of insane
5:44 I wholeheartly agree. The video itself is easily better, no question. So much more ideas, so much more creative things going on. And the music, I honestly needed to warm up to PopStars but More was just amazing from the get go
24:09 There are several band posters on Seraphine's wall that are references. I'll go from right to left. The two behind her are from (G)I-DLE (the orange being the cover art for their latest album DUMDI DUMI and the black being a Neverland stan poster). There appears to be a large poster of official art for LOL Star Guardians. There's a big poster of THE BADDEST. Finally, underneath that is a tiny poster of the POP/STARS album. Also on the shelf above her bed there are Funko-Pops for what I think are Ahri, Evelynn, and Kai'Sa in their POP/STARS skins. Idk what happened to Akali.
Notice how it fades through that crystalline effect at the beginning that's also more subtly present throughout the video? Then of course there's also all the teasing shots of Seraphine, with her basically singing along to the music while laying in bed. If I understand it correctly, Seraphine in the main universe lore has magical powers that she can only control via these crystal powered devices, so the crystal motif's supposed to be representative of her and the camera has this crystalline filter to it because we're seeing the world in her POV. The storyline seems to be that this is all her dreaming and we're introduced to the main girls as her own idealized reflections of them. Akali's all cool and street on her motorcycle, Evelynn's this dangerous Medusa-like seductress hanging out in these catacombs, Kai'sa's this graceful dancer weaving through the air in this zero gravity room, and Ahri's a queen in her golden throne room. Then towards the end Seraphine is lifted into the air as her room opens up and fades away, them she enters a reality where she gets to be one of them. So yeah definitely a storyline going on throughout this whole video.
21:33, Evelynn is a demon, the form that we see her is not her actual self, she can change her form to whatever leads her to eat more, and she eats agonizing human flesh you can see why a voluptuous woman can be effective to attract men to do dumb things like follow her inside a forest or empty building hahahahaha Of course that's her lore on the main game universe, so on the K/DA universe maybe she can just change her arms like Doctor Octopus...
Something I noticed when listening to the first chorus, is that when they sing ‘I got it and I’m never running low’, the moment they say got it and do that fist motion, the camera pivots to the fox woman (I don’t play lol sorry!) as if grabbed in that moment. It’s as if they’ve grabbed your attention, and is a nice sly detail if you look in that moment. GG whomever did camera and special effects here ùwú
I wouldn't mind knowing the cost. That would actually be really interesting. Especially if we can find out how much it actually cost. It would be interesting to compare.
@@ShatteredFocusProductions Not sure if you are going to do a video of this, but my prediction is 900k ~ 1.2 mil. Then again the length is rather short so I may be wrong.
I love how you passionate you get when talking about the technical aspects of making videos. Truly inspiring and heartwarming. I was waiting all day for this reaction too! Keep it up my dude!
If you look closely before ahri appear from the smokes there's a silhouette of her nine-tails with some glitters and then she appeared with only one tail, THE DETAIL IS AMAZING!
What about that shot where Akali is driving her motorbike and there's a tiger running next to her and the whole effect. It looked 2D mixed with Akali being 3D
Evelynn's scenes were definitely a reference to Medusa! Especially since they focused so heavily on her eyes, which is how Medusa turns people to stone. The statues, as well as the fact that the close ups of her thrashers look like snakes are a definite nod to mythology.
I love how the concept of that push out of Ahri was the camera angle zooming in. Kinda telling us "you can look but not too close. Don't get too close to the queens" 😳
I don't know if anyone explained the crystal with Kaisa, but that's most likely a reference to how her original design has an exoskeleton suit that adapts. Her suit is very similar to Venom from Spider-Man, so she taps the crystal and her exoskeleton adapts to be the crystal... If that makes sense.
@@ShatteredFocusProductions No problem! Kaisa has one of my favorite lores in the game. Essentially her suit (the purple one from Warriors) was a creature she encountered when she fell into the void. As a kid, she stabbed it and before the creature died, it's skin peeled off the creature and attached to her. Now since then she's been living a symbiotic relationship with it. The crystal launchers on her back are what remains of the creatures old wings.
I enjoy your breakdown of this video from a videography perspective. I'm a visual person and it's so interesting to see how you analyze it. I've watched so many reactions to music production but didn't find any videos like yours.
I do believe Evelynn the Demon character has a lot to do with Medusa. As a Greek i can see a lot of references in her character, her yellow glowing eyes, her tenticles, her sexy appearance, and her always staying close to her statues. Medusa's power was closely related to her feeding on the fear and agony of people who fell into her trap, so I guess the set for Evelynn in this mv is quit fitting.
For future reference, the demon/succubus's name is evelynn and her "weapon" are lashers. Thank you for the video! It's really interesting since I don't see many reactors point out the different techniques and transitions.
Crystal touching part with Kai'sa (Jaira Burns). Her line at the time is "I got different D.N.A." would be a reference to Kai'sa the character being a once fairly normal human girl who got trapped in the void and survived (later thrived) by forming a symbiotic bond with a void creature that is essentially her "catsuit and jet pack". On her Blades skin her jet pack is crystal and when she touches the crystal it extends down her arm. So you can see the allusion to her core lore even here.
i like how it feels like u got hit by that orb thing in that first transition to the chorus, cuz.... that hit different i got goosebumps road to 10k tho pog
Id argue theres some smaller animation and environment details that just dont reach the same level as Pop/stars. A lot of it is really good and maybe even better.
This is the first of your videos that I've watched, but this was super interesting! The actual filming process is super interesting and I'd be super interested in finding out how much it would actually cost (and how you would do it) if you were to do it in real life. Also, realtalk, "stingers" is close enough to how they function in the game
So for Kai'sa and the crystal thing.... What that represents is what she does in game. She adapts to whatever she touches, in game it'll change how her abilities work. Visually she can litterally change into it.
It’s amazing how you are able to catch so many small details in only one or two views. I watched the video like twenty times and only noticed a few of the things you noticed! Tbh tho I was mainly focused on Akali’s (Tiger Girls) Arm bump and expression on Seraphine in that last shot (Mostly just because I adore the two lol)
Congrats on 9th subscribers! As usual, I loved your reaction and analysis! I think an IRL MV breakdown would be a cool series for you to do. K-DA is going to release an album in November if you could please react to it! By the way, I am surprised. I can't believe that you knew Christina Grimmie (RIP), Sam Tsui & KHS. They are my favorite cover artists.
That last one the cute girl is seraphine she is the literal meaning of looks can be deceiving she killed many people (not literally but it is) For just a pair of Headphones
@@EM-vs6sg So then tell me why the crystal helped her? It continued to sing to her “KINDLY” and when she used the crystal is gave her information to help her; also canonically she can communicate with the crystal. If the crystal didn’t want to be used... don’t you think it would’ve said so? it’s really silly to think that people see her as some evil girl torturing the souls of bracken... when the story portrays exactly the opposite. Sera seemed endeared with the crystal, and the crystal even showed her how to connect Zaun and Piltover which was a major problem at the time. Also help it?? It’s land got torn apart and ravaged- and if skarner wanted that crystal back then it’s no problem for him to go to seraphine.
I dunno if you know this, but period and comma can be used to skip frames forward and backward on youtube so you can get a more direct frame that you're looking for.
Does anyone notice like right before the first chorus how Ahri's tail in the powdered atmosphere, smoothly unifies into one tail, I feel like that's one feature nobody is mentioning ( 1:37 )
Funny you mentioned the Sinbad animated movie. Just recently checked it out too, having never watched it when it came out. Eve definitely has the sultry personality of that goddess.
In CG it would have been easy to just play video elements on some geometry in the back for the projection room. No... they went to the trouble of creating the rigging and trusses and made sure you see the individual pixels in some shots like you really would. They tried very hard to make everything in this feel like a real music video. Obviously some impossible things, but even at the end, you get the long shot of them dancing on top of the building and the zoom loses focus for a second and then corrects. There are so many little things they nailed. And like you said, simple transitions, but done extremely well. The quality of this and popstars is pretty incredible. If I were going to do the dance in changing sets, rather than rely on the dance to be perfectly timed in each... which would be possible but a crap ton of work, I'd film the empty sets with a programmed camera move. Then film the girls dancing on a green/blue stage with the same camera move programmed. It would take some post work to mask/roto things going in front behind them but would likely give a much cleaner dance than trying to physically do it 4 times. I love that coming up out of Seraphine's bedroom, they didn't just fade the room out, which would have been super easy in CG. Instead they employed a theatrical trick and pulled the walls out from the floor and slid them into darkness. You see things like this done in The Nutcracker on actual real stages with real physical sets. It's a nice little touch that makes the whole thing feel more real. A lot of camera moves react to the singers as well. The push in at the very end transitions to a pull out up when they throw their hands up. Evelynn singing "fall at my feet" and the camera drops through the floor and comes down from above the throne to fall at the throne. In the very beginning with Akali's rap she throws her hands up and sends the camera up through the ceiling and trusses of the projection room into the throne room.
Kai'sa (the one with the propellers behind her) has an empowered form in the game and when she's empowered with that skin, she turns into diamond so they were teasing that with the crystal taking over
Honestly Love Sinbad the animated movie I know exactly what you mean when Evelyn dragged her claws across the statue it looks just like the X Eris has over her heart.
Every champion in League of Legends has something unique to help identify them. Like Ahri is a fox, with nine tails, Evelynn has what we call "Lashers" which are her two snake-looking features on her sides.
Checking reaction video for videography and animation. 1. Shatteredfocusproduction= √ √√ Checking reaction video for musical perspective. 1. Joey Nato = unchecked. Dude u don't know how much I waited for your reaction video for videography and animation perspective. Lots of love ❤️ to you.
@12:59- Okay but this a pretty common Kpop thing I think? I know for a fact CL recently had a similar thing done in her newest dance vid, CL+H₩A Dance Performance Video+ and everyone did an amazing job!
For that matched choreographed shot you mentioned that would take weeks, could you in theory use technology similar to what was used in The Mandalorian to recreate that a lot easier now?
I love your analysis, even though its an animation you talk about what would need to happen in real life and you approach it as though it was real, I really like that view of things
a lot of kpop music videos actual use the mechanical arm thing and the transitions (see stray kids - god's menu) so yeah, if this were made irl they'd probably use it!!! g-idle (the two kpop idols in kda) actually did a royal-themed music video (lion), so maybe you could compare the sets from there!
@@ShatteredFocusProductions oh lmao it looks like you’re saying some foreign word. Anyway thanks & also, please do post the video about how this video would be achieved IRL
I always love hearing how this would be made from a shooting viewpoint. That’s always fascinating about music videos and cinematography. Riot definitely raises the bar when it comes to MVs with their music groups. Enjoyed the video as usual. 😁
as an inspiring storyboard i find your videos really interresting!! always super interesting to know how "you would do it in real life". Animation has some results you cant always achieve in real life, and it works the other way too, so it's fun to have someone explain how it could be done, and what to use to achieve certain moods. also the idea of a longer video talking about the budget and go into more detail about the camera works sounds really interresting!!!
About that Sinbad movie character he keeps referencing to, her name is Eris and she is the Greek goddess of strife and discord. I can see how she could be an inspiration for Evelynn.
Evelin (the demon) is closer to the mythos of the succubus than Medusa, League of legends already has a character based on the medusa myth by the name of Cassiopeia, who's myth also influenced the character.
A quick feedback bro, you should put the video fullscreen and you should be the one on a corner. We love to see you and you explanation, but not only is the whole thing about the video, it’s kinda hard to see what you mean in certain details when the video is that small.
I like all the references in Serapine's room. Besides the THE BADDEST poster, there is also a Star Guardian poster and on her shelf are little figures that you can actually buy. Among them I can see K/DA Evelynn, Ahri and Kai'Sa, then there is also True Damage Senna and Odyssey Kayn. But then there are 2 more figures that I don't recognize.
In the seraphine room scene would it not be easier to have a camera on tracks at a distance as opposed to actually rotating the platform? Id love to see videos on breaking down how to do a video. Also react to the wild rift trailer!
About the claws scene, it actually reminded me of another movie: Osmosis Jones. The bad guy (red virus dude) has really similar claws and everytime he touches something leaves a "sign" (actually infects everything lol)
Fun fact:
Ducati actually released an exclusive Motorcycle for League and Akali's rap part was basically an advertisement for it, so cool!
Oh wow thats crazy👀🤠

The actual filming process is super interesting and I'd be super interested in finding out how much it would actually cost (and how you would do it) if you were to do it in real life.
Also, realtalk, "stingers" is close enough to how they function in the game
Awesome man, am learning from your videos as always! Keep up the good work 🙂
"K/DA! Sould we show 'em how we do it everyday"
Akali that girl, Kali go grr Kali Don't Stop,Kali don't skrr"
🤠
XD
So for Kai'sa and the crystal thing.... What that represents is what she does in game. She adapts to whatever she touches, in game it'll change how her abilities work. Visually she can litterally change into it.
30 seconds in the video and i've never seen him this hyped! Makes me hyped myself for his reaction :D
Always great seeing a new video from you. Also, it would be cool seeing you explain how some of the things in the video could be done in real life.
I got ya🤠
@@ShatteredFocusProductions :D
It’s amazing how you are able to catch so many small details in only one or two views. I watched the video like twenty times and only noticed a few of the things you noticed! Tbh tho I was mainly focused on Akali’s (Tiger Girls) Arm bump and expression on Seraphine in that last shot (Mostly just because I adore the two lol)
😂 yea its a cool nod to the comic
Congrats on 9th subscribers! As usual, I loved your reaction and analysis!
I think an IRL MV breakdown would be a cool series for you to do.
K-DA is going to release an album in November if you could please react to it!
By the way, I am surprised. I can't believe that you knew Christina Grimmie (RIP), Sam Tsui & KHS. They are my favorite cover artists.
like bro yes this is "better" than pop/stars like the MODELS, the SETS, the ANIMATIONS, the CAMERAWORK
HUNNNIIIIIIIIEEEEE
Waiting for this guy whole day now where is that joey nato guy
😂
haha im waiting for him 2 xD
Got my videographer perspective , now need my music production perspective
Lmao same
SAME! I found Luce and Joey at the same time, they're both my go-to after every LoL song now 😂
I love how you instantly get everyrthing even though you don't play the game.
That last one the cute girl is seraphine she is the literal meaning of looks can be deceiving she killed many people (not literally but it is) For just a pair of Headphones
👀
what do u mean by that?
@@EM-vs6sg
Yes and? So does Caitlyn, vi, blitz crank, jayce, jinx, ekko, Camille, viktor, hemerdinger, and orianna.

So then tell me why the crystal helped her? It continued to sing to her “KINDLY” and when she used the crystal is gave her information to help her; also canonically she can communicate with the crystal. If the crystal didn’t want to be used... don’t you think it would’ve said so? it’s really silly to think that people see her as some evil girl torturing the souls of bracken... when the story portrays exactly the opposite. Sera seemed endeared with the crystal, and the crystal even showed her how to connect Zaun and Piltover which was a major problem at the time. Also help it?? It’s land got torn apart and ravaged- and if skarner wanted that crystal back then it’s no problem for him to go to seraphine.
@@Meowgang123 ok, you're right.
I dunno if you know this, but period and comma can be used to skip frames forward and backward on youtube so you can get a more direct frame that you're looking for.
Does anyone notice like right before the first chorus how Ahri's tail in the powdered atmosphere, smoothly unifies into one tail, I feel like that's one feature nobody is mentioning ( 1:37 )
Seraphine's entrance to K/DA in the end reminds me of Lavraft Dreamland
Funny you mentioned the Sinbad animated movie. Just recently checked it out too, having never watched it when it came out. Eve definitely has the sultry personality of that goddess.
In CG it would have been easy to just play video elements on some geometry in the back for the projection room. No... they went to the trouble of creating the rigging and trusses and made sure you see the individual pixels in some shots like you really would. They tried very hard to make everything in this feel like a real music video. Obviously some impossible things, but even at the end, you get the long shot of them dancing on top of the building and the zoom loses focus for a second and then corrects. There are so many little things they nailed. And like you said, simple transitions, but done extremely well. The quality of this and popstars is pretty incredible.
If I were going to do the dance in changing sets, rather than rely on the dance to be perfectly timed in each... which would be possible but a crap ton of work, I'd film the empty sets with a programmed camera move. Then film the girls dancing on a green/blue stage with the same camera move programmed. It would take some post work to mask/roto things going in front behind them but would likely give a much cleaner dance than trying to physically do it 4 times.
I love that coming up out of Seraphine's bedroom, they didn't just fade the room out, which would have been super easy in CG. Instead they employed a theatrical trick and pulled the walls out from the floor and slid them into darkness. You see things like this done in The Nutcracker on actual real stages with real physical sets. It's a nice little touch that makes the whole thing feel more real.
A lot of camera moves react to the singers as well. The push in at the very end transitions to a pull out up when they throw their hands up. Evelynn singing "fall at my feet" and the camera drops through the floor and comes down from above the throne to fall at the throne. In the very beginning with Akali's rap she throws her hands up and sends the camera up through the ceiling and trusses of the projection room into the throne room.
22:00
I don't think u'ld make money to cover the cost of it, buy I'ld love it for sure haha
😂
Kai'sa (the one with the propellers behind her) has an empowered form in the game and when she's empowered with that skin, she turns into diamond so they were teasing that with the crystal taking over
this reaction made me fall in love with you! you're so adorable and insightful!! a king truly!
Honestly Love Sinbad the animated movie I know exactly what you mean when Evelyn dragged her claws across the statue it looks just like the X Eris has over her heart.
Right!😂🤠
I’m waiting for the video about how much it would cost irl. I love your content, keep up good work!
Every champion in League of Legends has something unique to help identify them. Like Ahri is a fox, with nine tails, Evelynn has what we call "Lashers" which are her two snake-looking features on her sides.
In the room seraphine sings at first, the posters are (G) IDLE covers!
Oh dope!🤠
GREAT reaction, always nice to see reactions from people who know their stuff! :)
Also WHY IS KILLING THE DOG SADDER THAN KILLING THE HUMANS
😳
Checking reaction video for videography and animation.
1. Shatteredfocusproduction= √ √√
Checking reaction video for musical perspective.
1. Joey Nato = unchecked.
Dude u don't know how much I waited for your reaction video for videography and animation perspective. Lots of love ❤️ to you.
@12:59- Okay but this a pretty common Kpop thing I think? I know for a fact CL recently had a similar thing done in her newest dance vid, CL+H₩A Dance Performance Video+ and everyone did an amazing job!
Love your breakdown! One quick thing, since you spent a lot of time looking for the right word: Evelynn's demon appendages are called Lashers =)
🙏🙏🙏
I just call them tails lol
@@nosequenickponerm 😂
I call them slappers they look like you can use it to slap
@@nosequenickponerm appreciate ya🤠
Love your reactions and breakdowns. Always entertaining, interesting, and educational to hear a professional react.
XD nice,1st vid I see from you,subbed
I love watching people react to this :D
Talons?thought that's how they are called idk,love Eve,she used to be my main and wow she looks so good here
For that matched choreographed shot you mentioned that would take weeks, could you in theory use technology similar to what was used in The Mandalorian to recreate that a lot easier now?
I love your analysis, even though its an animation you talk about what would need to happen in real life and you approach it as though it was real, I really like that view of things
a lot of kpop music videos actual use the mechanical arm thing and the transitions (see stray kids - god's menu) so yeah, if this were made irl they'd probably use it!!! g-idle (the two kpop idols in kda) actually did a royal-themed music video (lion), so maybe you could compare the sets from there!
I wasn't expecting an in-depth comment to this video lol. Def good stuff 👍
23:30 it's all about her lore. She was sendded to void where to survive she had to adapt(after earing one of void creature).
Can someone tell me what is the term he uses at 20:22 & 20:24, can’t figure out how that would be spelled
Shallow depth of field🤠
@@ShatteredFocusProductions oh lmao it looks like you’re saying some foreign word. Anyway thanks & also, please do post the video about how this video would be achieved IRL
Darn online classes, but finally I'm here omgg
Ay glad to have ya🤠
@@ShatteredFocusProductions your reaction vids are so Lit🔥👌
I always love hearing how this would be made from a shooting viewpoint. That’s always fascinating about music videos and cinematography. Riot definitely raises the bar when it comes to MVs with their music groups. Enjoyed the video as usual. 😁
"Cause that's the only drop they'll be So take a look Better Recognize, A queen"
Awesome video as always, been looking forward to your analysis! Will you react to the Wild Rift cinematic that got released yesterday?
as an inspiring storyboard i find your videos really interresting!! always super interesting to know how "you would do it in real life". Animation has some results you cant always achieve in real life, and it works the other way too, so it's fun to have someone explain how it could be done, and what to use to achieve certain moods. also the idea of a longer video talking about the budget and go into more detail about the camera works sounds really interresting!!!
I like "reactions" that are more like an analysis. Keep up the work man, very interesting.
About that Sinbad movie character he keeps referencing to, her name is Eris and she is the Greek goddess of strife and discord.
I can see how she could be an inspiration for Evelynn.
Evelin (the demon) is closer to the mythos of the succubus than Medusa, League of legends already has a character based on the medusa myth by the name of Cassiopeia, who's myth also influenced the character.
1:42 is literally the same movement I did when I first heard/watched it lmao
Oh ya, make sure you check the lyrics, the part in parenthesis is the translated part for Korean and Chinese
3:44 I think you mean Eris(or Iris) the goddess of discord and chaos from the movie Sinbad?
I really like the "that would have to be a helicopter/drone" details.
A quick feedback bro, you should put the video fullscreen and you should be the one on a corner. We love to see you and you explanation, but not only is the whole thing about the video, it’s kinda hard to see what you mean in certain details when the video is that small.
Her name's Evelynn and her "tentacles" are lashers. Amazing breakdown as always
I like all the references in Serapine's room.
Besides the THE BADDEST poster, there is also a Star Guardian poster and on her shelf are little figures that you can actually buy.
Among them I can see K/DA Evelynn, Ahri and Kai'Sa, then there is also True Damage Senna and Odyssey Kayn. But then there are 2 more figures that I don't recognize.
In the seraphine room scene would it not be easier to have a camera on tracks at a distance as opposed to actually rotating the platform? Id love to see videos on breaking down how to do a video. Also react to the wild rift trailer!
to me the best part was the Evelynn yes appear in the led screen and transition to her, that was amazing to me
About the claws scene, it actually reminded me of another movie: Osmosis Jones. The bad guy (red virus dude) has really similar claws and everytime he touches something leaves a "sign" (actually infects everything lol)
