So happy with how the launch cinematic for War Within turned out! We wanted to try something different with the music and pacing, and I'm glad we went for it. Incredibly proud of everyone involved. Looks gorgeous, sounds amazing. I love it. youtube.com/watch?v=zYdFLU…

Editing this was so much fun, and I could not be more proud of the team for pulling this off. This was definitely a dream come true for the life-long WoW fan in me. youtube.com/watch?v=tBBEt8…

@mhardison3 @Anna_B_Morgan I mean… knowing who that was, they should’ve expected him to commit 1000% when telling him to charge at full force. 🤣

Just want to reiterate this as well. We use live action ref as our foundation and then our animators, modelers, and rig/sim artists added their genius to craft these performances.

Also just because I keep seeing this in comments on YouTube and Reddit: none of this was motion capture. It blows my mind how good our animators are.

It's been amazing seeing the emotional response people have been having to this piece. It was such an honor editing this, and I think the team here is magic. I've been here 10 years now and I am still so in awe of how our cinematics team does what they do. youtube.com/watch?v=o03STc…

@MichaelBancroft I firmly believe that if you feel something when you watch something, you have the editor to thank. And you took it to 11 for this show. You’re freaking amazing! ❤️ Now instead of crying all the time we can go back to our natural best friend skip.

Was my honor to Direct our Lifeweaver origins. He is an imperfect artist who wants to help the world …much like all of us ❤️. And the team put everything they had into it. Thank you for the care and creativity, the tech and the skill, and the passion you bring to work each day.
