League of Legends Mini Reel

Hey Everyone,
I would like to share a little reel showing some of my animation work from the last two champions that I worked on, Xayah & Ornn.

If you have any questions or comments then let me know!
Thanks!

Awesome work man! How long do you get to work on each animation? An attack vs an emote for example.

Nice work, big fan of your stuff. Your combat stuff on your Vimeo channel is insane!!

Great stuff as usual, Warren!

Solid work. Love the small touches like shuffling his hands on the hand for readjusting and gripping. Keep crushing it.

@AnthonyAnimation - We luckily get around 5 months to make a champion so at the beginning we can take more time when needed to explore the animations/ideas. But as time goes on and the deadline approaches we have to be a bit more strict. So I think on average about 1 week for an emote (more or less) and 1 week for an Attack (including exploration), but as we have 3-4 attacks if we figure out the style/rhythm of one attack and it takes a week, then the next 2-3 attacks only take a day or two each so it prob brings the average down.

Thanks @AGoodFella @_adamturnbull @KielFiggins!

Woah, that's a pretty quick turnaround. A day or two for an attack? I'm guessing it also depends on the complexity and length of the attack.

Good to know.

Holy! Awesome stuff. LOVE the dance anim for the female character (don't play League, forgive me lol).

AnthonyAnimation · Aug 2017

Awesome! I really enjoy the animation Dev blogs and previous breakdowns you've done. I hope to see more soon.

@AGoodFella That could actually be considered a lot of time. It really depends on the studio and game, but my current job is about 2 animations per day.
