Groove Jones worked with the Verizon 5G and Riot Games‘ League of Legends teams to create a mobile virtual production using the power of 5G.
Through 5G MEC (Multi Edge Computing) ultra-wideband we transformed League of Legends super fans (Matt Higginbotham, Juan “JayJ” Guibert, Zaqueri Black, Herculyse, and Britanni) into Jinx from the new Netflix Arcane series in real-time.
Since the experience was utilizing a mobile device, I was also tasked with recreating the series intro title Lock-up, but in a portrait format. I achieved this using Cinema4D with Octane Render.
The Arcane series occasionally utilized stylized graffiti overlays, associated with the Main Character, Jinx. I was tasked with organically recreating these overlays with a paintbrush, scanning strokes, and then manipulating them in After Effects.
