Arcane: Bridging the Rift

If you have even a passing interested in modern production values, world-class animation, calculated risk-taking or just chance business decisions giving rise to something beautiful, then this documentary is for you.

I've never been a great fan of "making of" documentaries myself, since I generally find them rather self congratulatory and trite, but this was truly a spectacular look at the sheer effort of will that went into making Arcane.

We get a tiny glimpse of the trials and tribulations, the pain and the risk taken, the leaps of faith and the sheer chutzpah required to create one of the finest animated series ever aired.

Every aspect of the production is given airtime; concept, animation, sound design, voice acting, production, failures and regrouping followed by the final live screening of the first three episodes.

It times I was amazed, at others I was surprised and a couple of times I was actually moved to tears.

This video-serie is absolutely amazing.

When I thought arcane was a piece of art and trully fun to watch, I've never imagined the amount of effort Riot Games put into this project.

This video-serie that are aired on youtube contains each phase of the project without any boring details , introduces us the the people behind the scenes, their relations, decisions, creativity and the risk they take to make such beauty.

I like how they give everyone credit and how they show how everyone proven himself in the domain of making tv-shows, I liked so much how they admit mistakes they went through, and the decision making of solving their problems.

This shows so much, How much effort is put to make incredible stuff.

This is a solid 10 for documentary.

I watch'ed Arcane 12 times. Then the behind the scenes dropped, and like the show i love it. I went into it thinking it was something i had to do as a fan, I thought it would be boring, but after watch'ed the first episode, I actually really liked it. It is the best behind the scenes series i have ever seen, even though i have'nt seen many of them, I can still tell that it was good. It is describ'ed how they made Arcane in a great way, they talk about every aspect of the creation of a cartoon. I enjoy'ed watching this, but when it was finish'ed I had a feeling, that i need'ed more of stuff as good as this, i felt a bit empty because i knew it was over.

If you are a fan of Arcane, I really recommend you to watch it.
