The Cinematic Art of Overwatch

by Matt Burns

Starting with the announcement trailer in 2014, Overwatch’s award-winning cinematics captured the hearts of millions across the world, introducing them to a hopeful science-fiction world where heroes are needed.
Crafting these animated shorts required the Blizzard cinematics team to explore new ways of animated film making with a bold new art style, more frequent releases, and intimate collaboration with the game team. The Cinematic Art of Overwatch chronicles this journey, featuring never-before-seen art and anecdotes that illustrate how Overwatch's richly imagined characters and world were brought to life through cinematic storytelling.

I already expected the beautiful artwork, but I was pleasantly surprised to see that there was so much insight in the development. It's really cool to see what the team did to workaround limitations, immediatel made me want to rewatch the cinematics
