This is one of my favorite episode so far! What was the scariest part for you?
FILMMAKER REACTS ON DIABLO III: ua-cam.com/video/09du0lJYcfM/v-deo.html
I suggested it in the comments. It was worth it. Thanks for checking it out. Always great to see reactions of people who really understand what goes on in making them.
Well, Blizzard is very famous for their release trailers. Suggest you take a peak at the ones for StarCraft 2: Heart of the swarm (opening cinematic trailer), Wrath of the Lich King and Diablo 3: Reaper of souls. These are three of my favourites. Really nice to see your reactions.
The three "victims" witnessed the summoning, because they are upside down. How cool is that!
where are u from chris? do u also go to comic cons or Blizzcons before?
The window with the soundcut is the same soundcut and the same scene they have used in the first Diablo. It is a intresting way to begin the new trailer with a old thing. I am a old player and that give me manny flashbacks from the old times.
Maby i can watch you self the cutsceen from the first Diablo to see what I mean.
This was all what i want to say one thing I am not good in english so i am sorry but it will by great if someone can answer my.
I wish all a good day and have fun.
\[T]/
Chris: *jaw dropped*
Me: ... yeah that is pretty much everyone's reaction to a Blizzard cinematic.
Shame the games don't live up to the cinematics these days ;)
@@Adaon2090 is he reaction is always to hyped idk it feels like i am watching sometimes someone with adhs or smth like that lol
Too bad the game are not as good.
right after the non-apology they gave to Blitzchung but not really. still....sheep be sheep. show them grass it solves everything..
Still a shame they don't make movies!
It's incredible to realize that the Diablo IV trailer is NINE MINUTES LONG--and feels shorter than some two minute trailers I've seen of big budget action movies.
Three years later and having played it, the climax cinematic is just incredible
@@4head527he game is amazing too, but blizzard is nerfing the fun out of it, i myself really don’t mind but people get really mad when the nerf hit something fun, I hope they slow df down with the nerfs
I honestly believe Blizzard should convert 100% into a film/animation studio. The one thing that they have never lost was the quality of their cinematics. The best put together thriller cinematic I have seen from a game.
Ever since The Reign of Chaos, I have admired Blizzard's cinematics so I totally agree with what you are suggesting brother.
A 5 minute trailer is different than a 90 minute feature.
@@thisscreensucks i mean theres 1 hour of cinematics in the game, sure they not all same quality as the trailer but its up there
The problem is they get some director and they totally mess everything up. If they used the Blizzard cinematic team to do a movie it would be incredible.
if they had made the warcraft movie animated I believe it would have been far more popular. Looking now at animated shows like Arcane there is clearly a market for it.
Blizzard doesn't screw around when it comes to their cinematics. Some of the top stuff out there
This one is actually pretty weak...
@@JesiAsh lol go back watch frozen
@@MrSuperbear90 I dont feel offended~ frozen wad pretty good 🥰
@@MrSuperbear90 why are you hating on a FORSENBOY
because they don't make it =)
The bird's eye-view is justified, because framing the hole in the floor gives context (or more like confirmation) to Diablo 3 players. This isn't just some church in an abandoned village. This is the Tristram Cathedral, and it's the source for just about every bad thing in the human part of the Diablo universe.
We aren't 100% sure on that though. It's very possible that community/cathedral could be some place different. It's also possible it is Tristrram and the Cathedral, just very redesigned. I'm not so sure lore wise though it really holds up, because in 3 games we explored that place to hell (no pun intended) and we would have seen /heard of that place to summon such an important lore figure. I think the framing of the hole in ground was just to give context that these individuals were mining/exploring some place deep underground.
@@DemonKnight85
We havent explored 100% of what lies beneath Tristram Cathedral, and we only explored it on Diablo 1 & 3, and if Diablo 1 is something to go by, there are an unknown ammount of hidden rooms, caves, cellars and other types of crevasses hidden beneath the crumbling building.
@@DemonKnight85 The hole in the Tristram cathedral is the same hole that the "Falling Star" created. Spoilers for those that haven't played Diablo 3. So this shows that time has passed. Makes me wonder if we can bring our Nephalim in from D3. And if not, will we get references to them?
As far as exploring the cathedral to "hell and back" maybe during the first 3 games, what we thought was the underground of the church was really just us going into different areas of Hell. Which would explain why in every time you play through the first Diablo, the layout of the underground always changed. And in this one, we actually see what is underground after Hell has been beaten to "Hell and back".
@@dragnridr05 naah, the falling star in the D3 video crushed in a big church, basilika type, and here the hole is in a little chapel without side aisles, and only 3 rows of banks -- you clearly can see the dimensions of those two buildings are waaaay different. blizzard loves retcons due to inaccuracy, but that seems unlikely here
@@eyeofthasky Think about the technology the devs could use. As well as space being allotted for the camera and the characters. Tristram cathedral had to be bigger during gameplay to allow for that, but in the cutscenes, it could be smaller because it would be more realistically scaled. If you look at the layout of the town in D4's cutscene, and compare it to the games, then it is a similar layout. Plus the "Falling Star" wouldn't destroy the entire building considering it's size. Once we get more information, then the matter will be settled. Right now, it's ALL rumors and guesses. No matter how accurate we think we all are, including myself.
gamer: I'M DONE WITH YOU AND YOUR GREEDY WAYS bLIZZARD

VS Big W
Funny lmfaooo
In the Diablo universe, she, the daughter of hatred (ironically), is probably the kindest creature towards the Nephalems. She, as their mother, stood against Heaven and Hell to defend her children, the human race, while her husband, afraid of their children, The angel Inarius, sided with heaven in the decision of eradicating the nephalem. that's the short version of the story, i am really looking forward to Diablo IV, even if the game is not any better than D3, the stories and lore were always on point. And the cinematic are top tier.
I wonder if they're going to change her character in any way. I hope they keep the complicated nature of good and evil as seen in the books and lore, but we'll see.
but remember in diablo 2 we smash our mother ass everyday just for a torch
betting on a retcon to reverse the two characters' points of view
@@Scribby87 yeah feels like what's going on. They simplified SC2 from brood war a bit too in terms of the political faction diplomacy type warfare to an epic adventure of good guys vs bad guys.
Except she cares for the Nephalems not for their sake but for the sake of her army. She wants us to defeat the Primal Evils, with the Angiris council and grant her dominion over all Hell and Creation. We are merely pawns and tools in her plans to overthrow the powers that be.
10:05 is perhaps the purest embodiment of "Do not want, but kinda do want." I've seen in a facial expression lmao.
The sheer amount of birthing, fertility, and womb thematic elements in this cinematic alone make it morbid and creepy.
I mean, it's fitting given who she is. Lilith, Daughter of Hatred (Mephisto, Lord of Hatred, one of the 3 Prime Evils), once lover of the Archangel Inarius, through their union created the Nephalem/Humans and the world of Sanctuary. She is literally the mother of creation in regards to Sanctuary and all within it.
It also makes sense of the "rose petals" seeing as red roses are closely linked to femininity and womanhood.
Was a bit disappointed that he didn't point out the guy with the eye patch going "I know" with that kind of ominous look in his eyes when the cleric talks about just going there for knowledge. It's a subtle hint at the true sinister nature of his character that is revealed later on, but if it's the first time you are seeing it it can be misconstrued as him being a more empathetic type, which feeds into him being the only one that seems to care about the others' lives. And then we find out he only cares about them making it there to be used as tools for bringing back Lilith.
I took it as him not remembering his initial intent, like he forgot it or it was knowledge that was buried deep inside, his recollection of it came back when the Cleric tells him to remember (kind of like a play on how we all have internal knowledge inside of us, we just have to seek it and remember it)
The last scene when Lilith emerges is just... amazing! Goosebumps! Visuals and audio is spot on.
Spend a few million on visuals, twist a cabbage and vola! lmao
One thing I love in animation is when things jolt unevenly, rather than moving slowly with grinding sound effects. It adds a real sense of resistance and give. Like the centre of the lock rotates. It makes it feel ancient. Small detail, but one that stood out to me :)
Omg YOU ACTUALLY REACTED TO THIS!!! I'm so happy right now lol
I was one of the people who recommended this for you cuz I was so exited for your reaction and opinion for this, So thank you for giving us that!!! Glad you loved it!! I somehow knew that you would! 😊
One of my favorite affects were with the eyes reflection also the scariest moment for me to have this evil incarnate face to face saying "There is no light here" in the most calm and cold tone of voice... lol
But yeah anyways, Thanks again Chris!!! 😊
All World of Warcraft and Warcraft 3 Cinematics
and starcraft
@@nineten5291 Agreed, particularly the Heart of the Swarm opening cinematic.
Pretty much anything blizzard.
All the bfa storyline
@@nineten5291 I think he should react to two cinematics in particular: Battle on Amerigo and Brood War opening cinematic. Also Wings of Liberty opening cinematic.
I think there's a very specific reason why they chose to portray the interior of the church from above. It has all to do with the revelation of the hole in the floor at the altar. For Diablo fans, this a very familiar scene, for the very first game has the player enter the chruch at the start of the game and enter the dungeon through the very same hole in the floor and that game was in isometric view. While not top down, it was still from the above. With the above view they are already setting up the expectations of seeing the hole in the floor for those old fans and as the hole slides into the view, the fans can nod in satisfaction and think to themselves "I knew it!".
Also, while sliding in through the door would have worked similarly, the church would have appeared empty from the get go, while with top down view, you could also expect to see something else, such as the guy who's clearly praying and you would expect him being there, praying before the altar, no? So it's also playing with your expectation. Showing that church is empty would have lacked the same sort of play. So I would say, the top down view is intentionally set up to mess with your expectations from the get go.
I didn't read your comment beforehand, but I wrote something very similar in response to someone else.
The first time I saw this, I expected the guy to be in the church and the place to come under some sort of attack with demons (or angels) closing in. I thought I knew exactly how it would go with a birds-eye-view of the whole area and hundreds of beings encircling the place (Like the Kerrigan scene in StarCraft 1).
By changing the story in my head so quickly it made it much more interesting and that is what they did so well through the whole thing.
This is Blizzard you are talking about. They are always years ahead with cinematics.
You mean Activision right?? Blizzard doesn't really exist anymore, hardly anyone left.
@udlock9 Lol. You're stupid if you believe Blizzard will be forgotten. They literally changed the gaming world with WoW, even though in its current state is horrible.
@@quicksilvermike Then when everything bad started happening to WoW it's because Activision influenced it. On the other side as well Blizzard doesn't own WoW, Activision does now so who wants to praise that? no thanks. The only good game that came out of Blizzard in my opinion was Diablo & Diablo II, sorry to say but I thought WoW was dog shit, but everyone has their own tastes. One reason why Diablo 1&2 did good is because Activision didn't own Blizzard back then. I don't see anything good ever coming from Activision/Blizzard again, Warcraft: Reforged & Diablo 3 is a good example of why. Honestly Blizzard will be forgotten, as the current generation and the future ones won't even know of Blizzard and what they use to be.
For me the moment that hit me the most is the image of the 2 hands coming together it reminded me of Michelangelo's : "The Creation of Adam" imagery, it send a chill down my spine the first time i watched that part. :)
My personal 2 favorite shots (not knowledgeable in filmmaking or anything), were the following:
1: Entering the chapel and seeing the distortion of the light inside on those benches.
2: When you see Lilith, you also see one of the pillars. You don't see the person anymore because he's completely covered in some blood "tendrils", which is an awesome detail in my opinion.
Gives me the feeling that having their bones broken and blood drained for that triangle wasn't the end of their suffering.
Maybe you saw that when Lilith reaches for the hand the background looks like an iris, which smoothes the transiotion from the priest to this shot. Also by far the best shot for is showing Liliths full scale.
great catch!
Awesome breakdown of this cinematic. A few points I''d like to make; one of the goals for the Diablo 4 team was calling back to 'the old days' and legacy of the series. The opening scenes of this cinematic reflects that. The first shot with the cross reminds of the first shot of the opening cinematic of the very first Diablo (it was a sword there) and the crumbled town and shutters slamming even more so. And in both Diablo 1 and Diablo 3 the game started by going down into a church to fight the demons within.
For a long time fan of the series those opening scenes were awesome. But as said, great breakdown!
I must have watched this cinematic at least 20 times. I see different things each time, little bits I didn't visually see the previous time. Your technical breakdown was great, gave me some real insight into how these things are created. This is the first reaction I've watched from your channel so hats off. One of the best bits that I only caught when viewing it through for maybe the 7th time was the heart beating in the chest. It's only a brief shot, but it looked amazing through the use of the translucent skin. Thanks for the video, I'm off to see what other cool games you've done! 😀
"Most of them are not going to make it"
Pretty accurate prediction there!
I love the way the torch light hits the characters and in certain parts it actually outlines them. Very atmospheric cinematic, had me floored and on the edge of my seat when I watched it.
i've watched a hundred of these Diablo 4 reactions and yours is by far the best to me. your film making insight and breakdown of every shot is great. thank you for the 35 minutes of entertainment. also, blizzard is, in my opinion, the best at cinematics in the gaming industry
Yeah, since very early on it's what set them apart from other games developers. When they made Warcraft 2 in 1995 they set up a seperate cinematics studio alongside the game development studio. Their cinematics have been ahead of the rest of the industry because they invested in it early on.
100%
18:22 I wish you would’ve touched on the fact with subtle storytelling, when he says “I came here for knowledge” and Rathma responds “I know” hinting at some deception
I've seen it like 6 times and it was just as good as the first every time. One of the best trailers I've seen in a long time.
hey dude, first video of yours that i saw. i really enjoy watching someone who is a professional in a field reacting and breaking down something, and you did a magnificent job. one thing i want to point out though (i saw this watching your video) is in that scene where the priest is looking into the eyes of the pale man, as he accepts his fate and his eye lids shut just over the top of his eyes, they cover the pale man’s white head, leaving his eyes to reflect nothing but darkness. this, to me, is kind of like the light leaving his eyes as he “dies” on the inside
Check:
1. Final Fantasy 15 Cinematic Intro
2. WOW Shadow lands
3. Assassins Creed 3
4. Starcraft 2
5. Battlefield 1
Wrath of the lich King WoW cinematic. Best one .
You really shouldn’t watch Shadowlands before watching the other ones, if you’re planning on watching others (and you really should, because Blizzard has been on the frontlines with this for a long time).
I admit that it’s hard to decide what to recommend without it getting overwhelming... Pretty much every promo cinematic up to Legion, then Jaina and Sylvanas Warbringers, Old Soldier, BfA promo Battle for Lordaeron, Lost Honor, Crossroads, perhaps the cutscene before they march on Orgrimmar, Reckoning, and then Shadowlands. And throw in the Azshara Warbringers somewhere as well.
The Saurfang series is fantastic, and a must see.
Any of the world of warcraft would be cool... actually any cinematic from blizzard will be, they are masters of cinematics (i love overwatch ones btw)
The foreshadowing in this cinematic is awesome!
Notice how it's all about going DOWN (to hell)
1. You have a hole you go down, followed by an overhead shot of the explorers going down (screen wise 16:35) with the occult triangle pointing downwards as well.
2. The mechanism to open the door is on the floor (could easily have been on the wall).
3. You have to kneel and slam your hand DOWN to open it surrendering to her
3. Once inside, the characters get slammed against the pillars upside down with their arms apart portraying an upside down cross (often associated with satan and hell)
4. Then we see a shot of the blood platform (from above) and the camera manoeuvers around it and flips upside down to reveal the arrival of Lilith.
Fantastic work by the creators, an amazing trailer.
The statues are very reminiscent of old fertility goddesses, look at their bellies and breasts. The characters are put upside down on the bellies of the statues, like a baby would be just before it's birth. Lilith is the mother of mankind in the Diablo-universe, and so it's a play on birthing. She birthed mankind and is now herself being reborn into a physical form, and so the ritual mirrors childbirth. This is also why she is translucent, like a fetus in it's early stages.
Great great work. Very entertaining to watch you reacting to these videos and explaining how and why things work in the way they do. I do also like how you try to think of how the effects used in the movie could be created without CGI. I hope you continue this video series :)
I Highly recommend watching the Overwatch Animated Short "The Last Bastion"
. Another blizzard masterpiece and one of my personal favourites
The overhead/underlook shot transition helps establish how deep underground they may have gone and we see how far up "daylight" is once the 3 men get inside the temple/gate.
Hey man. I just watched your reaction videos to different game trailers and it's interesting to see the videos analysed and the techniques discussed because I feel like games are always overlooked as legitimate creative work. So hopefully more people see your videos and think about the work that goes into them. My favourite game trailers have always been for each expansion of World of Warcraft. They're high-budget and epic. If you've never seen them I would recommend watching them all, but it's hard for me to pick which one would be best for your videos.
When it comes to their intro cinematics, i have never really seen Blizzard fail
If you like this one i highly recommend Starcraft 2 Heart of the Swarm intro, really good
Legacy of the void was better, had goosebumps all over...
Uncle BobMarley i still fight tears when the templars fuse into the archon. Just the mix of action the music and knowing their sacrifice ruins me. Im getting teary eyed just typing this.
@@UchihaOokami2596 POWER. OVERWHELMING. And how the Archon just cuts the Ultralisk's arm like it's made of glass. That was awesome. And the scene with the broken Zealot re-igniting his blades. I loved that cinematic. But in terms of creativity and telling the story through cinematic art, Diablo IV reveal cinematic is just... in a league of its own.
Man I love your reactions, they are so lively! I feel like they amplify my own.
I watched this trailer so many times, normally I'm very picky but this truely is a MASTERPIECE! from start to finish.
nice react. I will say the other reason for using a bird's eye view in the chapel rather than a first person perspective zoom is because it helps build anticipation better because you never see what is coming until it is in frame. A walk in shot would be more dramatic, but this early on we are still in suspenseful setting building mode. The above view pan also helps because you get a more gradual dying of the light and growth of the darkness and the hole remains hidden until the last moment.
Blizzard is well known and much loved for their cinematic trailers. The trailers from Diablo III are top notch and Overwatch is awesome. I'll add my voice to those telling you to watch World of Warcraft trailers
Try checking out World of Warcraft Wrath of the Lich King Cinematic, there are a few interesting effects.
Yup, a classic masterpiece from over 10 years ago.
the snow
I think he'd like the story of the lich king cinematic. The narration shows King Terena's wishes for his son, but the actions show Arthas corrupting every one of his father wishes.
This man needs to see that cinematic trailer..
I still think the cinematic for the end of act 1 in D3 is my favorite... "You cannot judge me! I AM JUSTICE ITSELF!" Epic!
There is epic cinematic called reaper of souls check that out
Tyrael's Sacrifice, it's one of the most epic game cinematics created.
Love how he jump at 1:41 hearing the banging sound of the door. Happen to me too. NOW that sound effect.
Awesome insight, really enjoyed it! I'm so excited for D4!
29:20 - The one problem I can see with this method is managing how gravity would affect hair/clothing during filming and how that would translate to the actual rotated shot, but it's a cool practical technique to try!
Beauuutiful!!!!
Go play Diablo 3 and react to the "Reaper of Souls" expansion intro.
you dont need to play the game to watch it :P
you can just search it up on youtube haha XD
finally, been suggesting this for the last few months! love this trailer!!
I have nothing to do with filmmaking and yet the way you explain why and how the different techniques are used is extremely interesting. Thank you!
The background of the story really adds to the depth of the movie, as it pulls together some really fantastic story elements as well as posing some new questions to the viewer. I don't think elements like that really are appreciated when people craft an opening cinematic/opening scene in a movie. 'Lilith' was featured prominently as a "oh this is cool, but it does not relate to what we are doing right now" element in the previous title, so the images trigger memories associated to her that fill out some of the elements shown on screen, which gives an enhanced emotional response from the viewer.
The 'Priest' is a member of an organization you have been working with since the first game, so seeing him in this situation draws you further in to the scene as you have an existing emotional attachment to a character that is going through this.
The church is in the very first town in the first game in the series, that place has become a gateway to hell, so the viewer *knows* something is going to happen, which makes the first cut to the shutter clanging in the town have more of an effect as you are already in an excited state because of the setting.
When a sequel trailer is requested, I would suggest looking up the trailers from the earlier games as it gives background for you to fall back upon so the smaller details become much more akin to Easter Eggs, which I think is a super important part to any sort of extension of a mythos/story, as getting those Easter Eggs in the trailer is actually a big part of crafting a satisfying trailer.
That being said if you just want to react to the effects, you can ignore what I just said :D
Great work on the breakdown as always. I also suggest looking at the opening cinematic for World of Warcraft. it's from 2004, but the effects are still well done and I think you would get a kick out of seeing the earlier work Blizzard has done and how far they have come, while still (in my opinion at least) be slightly shocked that it is content from a 16 year old game.
The portal turning into the cape was fantastic. The whole portal-creation overhead shot blew my mind. Lilith is the mother of humanity, who joined with an Archangel to create their own army who could harness both the powers of heaven and hell. They wanted to stop what was called the "Eternal War" between demons and angels. So it makes sense that she, "our" mother, would be born into the world in a similar fashion as we are (placenta and embryo). But you know, in an appropriately fucked up way. lol.
Please also check out the Warframe opening cinematic. It's phenomenal.
And to add onto that, the pure white dude at the end is most likely Rathma, one of the first generation Nephalem _and_ the first necromancer _AND_ also Lilith's son.
For this film maker this is art.
He's blown away.
love the reaction part but even more it's a very in depth insight to how some scenes are made and found that really interesting. good job :)
Glad you enjoyed!
WoW: Shadowlands and the cinematics from the Elder Scrolls Online are just as awesome. Please add them to your list.
wow and eso cinamatics in general you mean. their legendary. for instance, all I have to say is arthis or Nord vs corrupted Breton and you already have the cinematics in your head
Honestly if he does a Wow cinematic he should start with Wrath of the Lich King. By far the best of the WoW Cinematics.
I agree. The Blizzard cinematics are some of the best ever created!
@@mojolotz ya its rather that or old solder. both are cinematic marvels on both vary different spectrum of action yet vary similar do to its interwoven threads in lore and execution.
@@mojolotz I've always loved The Mist of Panderia Cinematic. Good expansion and the cinematic was fucking beautiful. They're all good though.
Final Fantasy XIV Cinematic "End of an era"! All the FFXIV ARR and expansion cinematic are amazing!
Just found your channel yesterday, love what I've seen so far
Hey, Chris! What a treat, thank you! I wasn't sure if the cinematic had its effect on non-Diablo players, but I see it totally does :) Oh man, I'd been waiting for this announcement for years. When Blizz finally gave us the trailer... it was memorable, to put it mildly. The following morning I had the worst hangover for the last ten years at least.
Very nice tips and reactions, thanks again!
The guy who finds out about them needing blood is the same voice actor as Bayek in AC Origins
Ohh, thats who it is! i thought he sounded familiar
Its a nice touch that when the ''demon'' said there is no light in here, but the moment Lilith entered the room, the light followed her! The daughter of darkness, hatered and mother of demons, brought the light with her! Beautifull contradiction!
Good point!
"Its a nice touch that when the ''demon'' said there is no light in here"
Light means Heaven... In Diablo lore since the guy was a priest of Light.
"The daughter of darkness, hatered and mother of demons"
In the game Lilith is mother of HUMANS... not Demons. In Diablo demons were born out of the body of first prime evil (Destruction) while angels were born out of the body of Anu (Creator). It was the deserters of both factions who created the Human world and humans Archangel Inarius and Lilith with their followers.
Lilith in Diablo is protecting humans however she takes "by any means neccessery" a bit too far.
I think they used the birdview to keep the mistery of "where those voices come from" in a death village, not showing every corner of the church as you could see if you go in from the doors, it also helps to make the transition to the hole more smoother.
I love the scene when they get into the room, the contrast again between warmth and cold; they are illuminated by the torch and when the coin guy gets closer to the bald guy, both get dark, only ambient light there to show that they were doomed as they stept in.
As for the Matrix scene... it's easier to do it with a rig (no anatomic limitations), you can move his upper chest any way you want without moving his hips, even stretching a bit to make it look more... phantasmagorical.
Aside that, my favorite part is the end, making such a gorgeous scene out of blood petals, the white light, showing her godly and some kind of romantic aura. Like a mother, someone you love and admire. Brilliant
This is the first video I've ever seen of yours, and it was pretty fun. I'm going to go watch a few more now.
I suggest you take your time and react to each World of Warcraft cinematic (Wrath of the Lich King is one of my favorites)... Loved how detailed is your analyzation of the particular frames, transitions, and sound effects. Keep it up!!
react to "the witcher 3 killing monsters"
witcher 2 trailer is also pretty impressive
Your reactions to the scenes are the perfect image how nice that game is! And even it's really creepy we as spectators can see how you enjoyed the very scary moments.
Thanks btw. for you explanation in the end it's really intriguing how you analyse the scenes.
Oh and you've earnd yourself my sub. :)
It somehow reminds me of scenes from The Cell. Music, cinematography, especially the scene with the huge cloak near the end.
Not copying, but inspired. Very cool stuff.
World of Warcraft, Shadowlands cinematic trailer, you have to see this
The scene with Lilith reminds me of the “Vampire: The Requiem” book cover. 🤔
Reminds me of the Movie the Cell with J Lo.
Gorgeous Cinematic Trailer and great overview from film making perspective. With the overhead shots, something to consider when analyzing is that the game plays from an overhead perspective. This give the viewer some nostalgia of the game itself because in the future its likely the player will see something similar when the game is released.
Best reaction to this masterpiece, and i have seen a lot of them on UA-cam :D Keep going man!
DUDE. I love the fact that you reacted to this, haha. I literally refreshed my YT homepage and this popped up and immediately watched all of it. I love the analysis part of the videos. I work quite a bit with video and After Effects as well and whenever you watch these types of trailers in the back of your mind you think like 'Damn, I wonder how you could pull this off...' OK, I'm gonna suggest another one, it's not the greatest trailer in the world BUT I think it has one of the best transitions in recent memory, and judging by how much you like well done transitions Chris -- I think you're gonna dig this one. :)
Ghost Recon: Wildlands: ua-cam.com/video/WdJub3Kz2wI/v-deo.html (It has some gameplay footage in between the CGI feel free to skip that lol)
Do the Baldur's Gate 3 cinematic. You will love the Mind Flayers.
I had mega nerd chills for that trailer. Mindflayers are gross!
Oh man can’t recommend this highly enough, that scene and the story trailer much later on both got me incredibly hyped.
this trailer is an epitome among other diablo trailers, the music the voice over, the acting, the visuals, very impressive indeed
subbed, amazing reactions and learning
Honestly, there are hours of world of warcraft cinematics you can react to, all are great and even better if you know the stories behind the characters.
World of Warcraft cinematics, all of them are awesome
Damn it gave me goosebump when the membrane becomes her cape at the end, so majestic, so.. all powerful
love the explanation of the contrast of color in the lighting used
I love this series! As a film student this is absolutely what I needed during lockdown:) it would make my day if you could react to the cinematic trailers for the game For Honor, they're some of my favourites, especially the trailer for the Marching Fire dlc, thanks!
This is an exceptional reaction. Dive into the history of Blizzard cinematics- they are the very best at what they do.
I'm SO GLAD you've made it mate!!! It's gorgerous really!
Could not agree more :)
You're reaction is my reaction every time I watch it.
Hey Chris, have you considered watching the Alien: Isolation cut scenes? There is significant beauty in the sound and visual execution you would like.
You should react to each of the world of warcraft opening expansion cinemtaics
They are made by the company who did the Diablo ones. Most recent one being world of warcraft shadowlands cinematic.
You earned a new sub. I love the content! Thank you.
It might just be me but I can't stand when youtubers put the biggest reaction of the video at the START, it's like a pre-trailer but it spoils everything instantly
Man I love how you can see her hear beating in her chest.
However they kind of goofed when they made their hands the same size while she seems about twice as tall as him. Or she just has tiny hands xD
ᛞᛖᚾᚾᛁᛋ ᛏᚱᛟᚹᚨᛏᛟ
She not so tall.
He’s on his knees.
And she stand on her foots.
That’s it 😉
Nah man, just tiny hands. Trumps niece.
Twice as tall as him? He's on his knees, it's normal that Lilith looks like a giant compared to him.
Bro!!!! I love this video series!!!
jumps at the beginning thats hilarious
Others have commented on this, but there are contextual aspects of this trailer that add a lot of emotional depth and resonance for fans. For instance, the first shot in its entirety is a very intentional throwback to the more gritty styles of D1 and D2, especially the opening cinematic to D1 with the town, the door swinging, the dungeon crawling. Also, as another commenter mentioned, the air that is sucked out of the room when you see Lilith's persona but she hasn't yet been identified. When the priest finally says "Lilith" and then cuts back to her full face, there is a lot of resonance there as well.
This is what takes a trailer of this caliber to the next level altogether, because it pays homage to the fans of the series while also providing a cinematic experience of the highest quality.
The Final Fantasy 14 Cinematic trailers are amazing, especially the Heavensward and Shadowbringers ones. You can always count of Square Enix to provide incredible visuals.
i loved the *putting the jaw back after it dropped to the floor* he did at the end
Interesting stuff. Great video.
I feel the second shot is kind like a homage to the Diablo 1 cinematic, but I might be wrong.
Totally is, Diablo intro cinematic with the bird.
PLEASE REACT TO ASSASSIN CREED: UNITY CINEMATIC TRAILER 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I really loved the contrast between the black background and the dark red tree in your studio. Really nice touch there!
I loved the Trailer so much as i saw it the first time.
But it was very interesting to saw it once more from the perspective of an filmmaker, also the break down of the trailer and what technic was used and so on.
Personally my favourite scene of trailer was, when Lilith appears through the portal thing.
It feels like something evel is born in the world, because Lilith is the creator of nephilim/Humans, the scene was like an birth in an corrupted and creepy way.
Also the perspective we saw her face for the first time and the ending Scene was amazing.
23:54 Just a quick note, this is a lady Barbarian :)
barley lol
Hail lilith
Max level crusader and barbarian class: HERE COMES THE PAIN TRAIN!
As someone with about 7k hours on D2 and D3 Barbarian combined..... I approve.
The shutter slam at the beginning is a homage to the intro of the first game.
the detail is out of this world:D
Dude, if you haven't watched other *Blizzard* cinematics, you are seriously missing out. Watch their videos for Overwatch next :) Try these from the franchize: Overwatch 1 reveal, Dragons, Alive, Infiltration, Overwatch 2 trailer. :) You'll thank me later. And don't miss out on StarCraft 2 cinematics: Legacy of the Void, Wings of LIberty and Heart of the Swarm. Moving away from Blizzard, I gotta give credits to some LoL cinematics (Riot games), like "A new dawn". :)
