And yeah they also said that reason, but the very existence of that reason implies Lancaster even more because -sadly- the community likes to ship, they couldn't do anything for -the obvious- BlackSun because it was part of the script. Also, do you know how to animate? If not, then your reason becomes null; I know a little, having to move two people to embrace each other takes more time that you can imagine, outside of the animation. Imagine to have a dialogue already written, but ideas often comes during the development, then you have to change the script, you have to change situations to make it even better or to explain certain things; workers getting sick, power outage, malfunction of a machine, vacations, familiar situations. Is much more than just sitting in a pc to work, anything can happen anytime.

Also, if they wanted to lie, they wouldn't say anything about the hug in the first place. Is just that people getting worried (because again, people like to ship) was reason enough for not putting the extra effort. Again, that look meant something, and it was the first romantic implication between the two. There is no place to deny it. 1. I did not say that it's a lie on their part, I was saying it's a lie on your part, though I admit I jumped the gun a little.

2. Motion capture. They use it for a lot of the casual scenes. With motion capture, they would just have to suit up two people, have them hug, and then make the necessary adjustments by hand. It's not like that would take way more hours than animating Jaune putting his hand on Ruby's shoulder, when both can have the bulk be done in motion capture with two people.

3. How does that further prove Lancaster, when they literally said they didn't want the fandom to think of the hug as romantic? To me, that says that they don't want Lancaster to be canon. They wanted it to be a friend-hug, but they felt that the fandom would think of it as romantic, so they went with the shoulder touch instead.

And, uh, they have gone pretty obvious with Black Sun, it's just that Bumbleby shippers want to deny any possibility of Blake and Sun ever getting together. On Sun's side of things, Sun asked Blake if she wanted to go to the dance together, which is a pretty obvious "I have romantic feelings for you" move. On Blake's side, she actually blushed when Sun pointed and winked at her in New Challengers.

4. To me, that look means deep friendship, Jaune reassuring Ruby that he and his teammates are there because they want to be there with her, and Ruby being thankful.
