Jinx animation for Arcane AnimChallenge

Here is an animation I made for the Arcane AnimChallenge. It took me around 30-40hours to make. I tried to animate it with constant curves since Arcane seems to be animated on 24 fps with a keyframe every 2 frames. The result is not as good looking, but, hey, I had a lot of fun. Hope you enjoy!

Made entirely in Blender.

I think you did a nice job, especially with the braids!

(For what it’s worth: They mostly commonly animate at 24, not on twos. Though the effects (smoke, fire, etc) are on twos.)

It makes more sense that there would be 24frames. I moved frame by frame on netflix and there was 2 identical frames each time. Maybe I counted wrong :sweat_smile:

They do get fluid with it, for sure… so you might have found a 12fps moment. Occasionally they’ll do something like 4fps, as well.

The on 2s is true sometimes. Depending on the action. I think, its utility for anime because they get paid differently as animators so if they could do a shot or scene with 200 or 300 less frames and it still looks, okay. They do it. The audience turns it into a principle when really its a guy just trying to save some time for sleep and showering.

Very cool animation! Love the feel of it and the style.

I featured you on BlenderNation, have a great weekend!
