OPENING CINEMATIC

FORGING NEW CONNECTION BETWEEN FAN & FICTION

As a rabid Blizzard fan since my first days with Warcraft on the PC, I couldn't be more excited to direct their 2018 Blizzcon Opening Ceremony Intro Cinematic. Our concept Worlds Unite explored the many cinematic visions found in the Blizzard universe through one unified metaphor — a shimmering artifact known as the world-soul. At the heart of our piece, we’re showing that it’s the viewer’s perspective — one of a fan — that truly breathes life into Blizzard’s greatest stories.
