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.

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. https://t.co/LHK3GCGpFV

@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. 🤣

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. https://t.co/R7ARtgWGjq

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.

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.

[Michael Bancroft @MichaelBancroft]

@vanillabeaniez Thank you! That means a whole lot.

Its finally released! My first Overwatch prerender! I'm so happy with how this turned out. Everyone who worked on it did such an amazing job, and I'm excited everyone gets to see it now for the very first time, right? ...right? #TeamSpiritSprinkles https://t.co/yAOOihwa8w
