About the work.
Four figures move across a vivid pink stage in Airi Pan’s FIRESTARTER cover. The early thumbnails show different ways to arrange the group before the final image places their long shadows at the center.
Grafit Studio’s group portrait brings Ahri, Akali, Evelynn and Kai’Sa together against a light background. The accompanying sketches reveal alternate poses and compositions alongside the transition from monochrome to color.
For the music video, director Marietta Ren and animation supervisor Rémy Terreaux spoke to 80 Level about Fortiche’s process. Ren described combining 2D and 3D effects for the fire, while Terreaux explained how the camera moves with the choreography. Explore their full interview through the video credits below.
