This cinematic was actually hand animated for a change, they didn't do any mocap and just had a couple act out the scene for reference. It's even more impressive they were able to translate it so well by hand.
One thing can be said about Blizzard, they have ALWAYS released S-tier cinematics dating all the way back to the early 90s. This is probably the best cinematic, visually, I've ever seen. Also, Chris Mezten confirmed that no mocap was used to make this cinematic, which is all the more impressive!
Yep, there's no mocap, there's no human actor. Just pure 3D modelling.
That’s impressive, I think this is the first cinematic that crosses the uncanny valley for me. This animation was so realistic I thought it had to be mocap
@@AVikingNerdright?! The performance from Anduin was absolutely perfect. The facial expressions were masterfully done. The thing that I found incredibly impressive is when Thrall teleports in and it's focusing on Anduin's right eye. Watch the muscles around his eye and how they move when he blinks. Insane how that was done by hand.
Is Mocap when people wear the suits and do the acting in a blank room?
@@DadsCigaretteRun Yeah.
Time heals all wounds, but if you don't do nothing in that time nothing changes. Time by itself heals nothing
This cinematic was fantastically done. I'm hoping for a series of them like they did in the BFA series.
Right?! Old Soldier was easily one of the best cinematics Blizz has ever released.
BFA had amazing cinematics! A shame the expansion was fairly shit 😂
@@SweetsourGamer call me cynical but i just wonder if those lines they took from Old Soldier mean anything or are just nostalgia bait.
I really love the fact that characters in most fantasy universes just don't have casual clothes, they may be in times of peace in the msot secure olace, but they will stay in the bulkiest armor they found on the wardrobe
Anduin doesn't have pauldrons on. On Wacraft terms he is practically naked here.
I don't remember a bad WoW cinematic. Blizz are really on top of their game when it comes to them
only thing there good at
@@ExelArts unlike your spelling
@@ExelArts Likely goes around whining on every wow video
visually yes. Those repeated lines give me pause, though.
Also, according to Blizz official, there was no mo-cap in this. All done by the artists.
i simply cant belive this ... props to bliz if this is true. This is some avatar level cgi. the lips the skin ... wow
I was just about to comment this myself! The fact that this had no mo-cap is astonishing. Doing this level of work with mo-cap is ALREADY an achievement (see BG3 and its CGI with the mo-cap system), but to have this level of realism without triggering the uncanny valley feeling, while also not using mo-cap as a base....as always, Blizzard's art and graphics teams are legends in their own right.
Anduin has suffered so much. And all because of that foul Banshee Sylvannus Windrunner!
Ah but there's a flip side to that. People tend to forget what Sylvanas went through at the hands of a human paladin
@@TheBlaert A lot of what she did, she CHOSE to do once she was free of Arthas, she didn't give Anduin a choice, just like Arthas didn't give her one...in her beginning. It F'ed her up so she in turn F'ed up Anduin. Two wrongs don't make a right.
@@stephaniec3759 Exactly 2 wrongs don't make a right. But the woman had her literal soul ripped out and enslaved. Of course she was going to go after humans at some point
@@TheBlaert and the Kaldorei. Lest we forget she burned down Teldrasill with all its inhabitants.
@@stephaniec3759 yep that was horrendous. She also killed my favourite character of all time. Varok Saurfang. I'm just saying her back story is one of the worst .
Hi! First time viewer here! Liked your reaction, but i do want to point out that World of Warcraft cinematics do NOT use motion capture, not even for faces/eyes. It is 100% animated, which makes it even more impressive! Heard you mention mo-cap so wanted to bring it up :)
Not shure this time. Look up the actor of arrow. This is exactly his face. Even his beard.
@@momenteimlicht3375 And he is not the actor for Anduin. So wouldn't make sense to mocap him.
Im not saying some random things. This is just fact
@@momenteimlicht3375 THANK YOU. I knew I couldn't be the only one who saw it. But no, it's actually not mocap. just very close
I absolutely love the parallels with the "My son..."+Anduin's raise sword stance mirroring the Wrath of the Lich King cinematic with Arthas.
Nice catch, I didn't realize it till just now.
Anduin also does the same pose that Arthas does in the WOTLK cinematic, ''I watched with pride as you grew into a weapon, of righteousness'', when pointing his sword at Thrall.
@@123froozen That's literally what I already said in the original comment 🤣
If you've missed any of the cinematics that go with this story, here's the list.
World of Warcraft has done a great job of going back into these and pulling out the story for the new The World Within cinematic. There are 12 of these, I’m giving the title, the name of the channel that has it, and the length of each. Where needed, I also give a quick name to the characters involved. These are not totally in order, there is a change in the in-game order for the Battle for Azeroth cinematics because Old Soldier actually comes before the announcement cinematic in chronology.
World of Warcraft Legion Cinematic Trailer-World of Warcraft 4:05 (photo of Anduin as a child in the compass of his father. The big gray worgen is the King of Gilneas, Genn Greymane)
Death of Varian Wrynn: World of Warcraft Legion-Tom’s Hardware 4:07 (the man at the end is Genn)
Patch 7.2 In-Game Cinematic: A Found Memento: Raising a King-World of Warcraft 2:51 (Anduin is seeing the memories of his father’s death)
Sargeras Impales Azeroth Sword Cinematic/Illidan’s Sacrifice-Athelarius 3:35 (how the sword happened-the Titans deal with Sargeras)
Cinematic: Old Soldier-World of Warcraft 6:21 (set-up for the war and Anduin’s friendship with Varok Sarfang, the troll is Zekhan)
World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth Cinematic Trailer 4:39 (Sylvanas, Genn, Anduin using his priest powers)
Cinematic: “Lost Honor” World of Warcraft 3:18 (Anduin, Genn, and Sarfang)
Cinematic: “Reckoning” (spoiler) World of Warcraft 4:12 (Sarfang and Thrall. Thrall is a shaman and the retired Warchief of the Horde)
Anduin Finale Cinematic/Shadowlands Patch 9.2 Eternity’s End-LeystTV 3:52 (the end of the raid where Anduin finally breaks the Jailer’s hold on him)
Sylvanas Windrunner & Anduin Epilogue Cutscene World of Warcraft Patch 9.25 LeystTV 2:45 (Anduin has to go find himself)
Which is then connected to this one, the War Within Announce Cinematic that you commented on.
Each of these has elements that are echoed in the War Within. It covers 2016 to 2023.
Hope this helps.
A lot of these I may have done already. As I mentioned I recorded a heap of these back in the day.
"There's always something dark coming"
That, whilst true, made me laugh
It's so heart breaking to see Anduin like this. He reminds me of Hayden Christensen.
I like that they didn't actually show Anduin grabbing Thrall's hand, because human hands would only be able to grab like a single finger lol
Funny thing you mentioned Mo-Cap. They didnt use Mo-Cap for this particular cinematic. They've used for the others. This was just acted out, and then used for reference for the animators.
Sword? What sword?
Finally someone noticed it! 3 expansions later.
Asmongold did
@@hallkaften3052 Someone of value then :P Likely metzen coming back wand giving the writing team a kick
@@OhNoTheFace metzen isnt any better with all the retcons he does
I am really interested in seeing what they will do with Anduin. After the events of Shadowlands, I could see it, if they made him to a warrior, like his father was. He said it in the video, he has no light. And since I would consider it wise not to trust “the light”, being a warrior-kind class would fit Anduin's character.
I think this will be about him getting back his faith/conviction
I wish some streaming service would throw some money at Blizzard to do a serialized show.
By the way..festering wounds don't heal..not even with the passage of time..
Welcome back Barry ;)
I appreciate the comment. But I’ve not actually gone anywhere. I’ve been uploading EVERY DAY for 6 years. Lol.
@@DeanBarryStuff i mean that you are back watching WoW cinematics!
nobody can touch blizzard on cinematics...the level of detail is amazing to say the least
Nobody has noticed that the pose that Anduin makes with the sword attacking Trall is the same as Arthas in the Lich King trailer
People laughed at me back in the 90s when I stated this would be the future of cinema, especially when AI design capabilities get more advanced.
You will be able to make your own movie by telling a story and getting an AI to recreate your thoughts on screen, sounds scary to many and I understand why. On the other hand, assuming we survive ourselves that will be the future.
I absolutely hate the idea of AI creating “art”. It looks horrendous from what I’ve seen so far.
@@DeanBarryStuff It´s not in our future Dean, but it´s in the future, and yes, the capabilities are thus far quite limited but they are already growing fast.
Doesn’t change my mind.
@@DeanBarryStuff It should. A large reason why the majority of films and tv shows suck these days is because of the barrier to entry for those who would make competing products. If anyone - regardless of skill - can transform an idea into a compelling piece of art in a short period of time with minimal effort and little to no capital the number of high quality works of fiction (or otherwise) will increase exponentially. Aside from unlocking the creativity of billions of people, the cultural impact will be unparalleled. Imagine being able to consume brand new masterpieces every day. Imagine seeing the ideal version of your favorite series with all of its plot holes fixed and its story beats further perfected and refined. This is what will be possible once AI reaches maturity.
But it’s superficial. Seeing a “masterpiece” everyday takes away the magic. Nothing is perfect. And it shouldn’t be. I’ll take imperfection over artificiality every time.
