Man, it's so cool seeing how stuff like this was created. You guys put so much effort into this project, and it absolutely paid off. Both Reaper and Tracer look stunning, the sets are amazing, the animation is flawless, and on top of that, almost all the special effects were done in camera! That's tough! But you managed to find creative ways to do both Reaper and Tracer's trails they leave behind. It's brilliant. I'd absolutely love to see more of this stuff, who knows, maybe even include more characters next time!
I just love how even the blink effect is a physical object filmed via stop motion! When I watched the video, I was certain that they’d simply added some CG special effects in post production; figured there’d be no point in going above and beyond the already arduous task of doing a stop motion video when it’s just for a fun little celebratory UA-cam video. But they DID go above and beyond, and then some! Hats off to everybody in the team who worked on this. You all did an amazing job. And thank you for doing your little part in keeping the art of stop motion animation alive :).
The amount of effort put into this is incredible. Imagine having this much talent and passion and pATIENCE to do something like this... It's crazy. I love it. Amazing job! 👏👏👏
Honestly, this video was more entertaining than the actual short... I'm not trying to be mean or anything. I just like seeing how things are made, this was really cool!
No the cake is 100% real so don't worry you're about it I'm sorry the cake isn't real but such a piece of cake Edit:the reason why this is very obvious this was a joke is because I already had people who got r /whooshed
Fantastic job to everyone involved in this. Absolutely amazing to see what went into the video and how much effort it took to actually make it. Such a talented group of people working for Blizzard.
Doge Wow so true! they all say only noobs or salty player plays this game but just like you said they forget the game itself.. I really, really love this game, actually everything of it
I got on the stream at exactly the right time to see it debut Which was weird, because after watching it I felt like I only came for the stop-motion, and left to do other things
I have huge respect for stop motion animators, I sometimes still can't believe the amount of work and love that is up in every short. Big kudos to the team, and hope we get to see more!
I was blown away by the short and even more the time and effort you guys put into this. Its incredible to watch and I adore all the shots of the production, showing the animators whizzing around as the models do their thing. I really hope we get to see more of your amazing work. Also the extra bit at the end was great!
the sheer amount of effort that goes into any form of animation always baffles me, but stop motion is a style i've always found particularly heartwarming as well. maybe a touch of nostalgia from seeing wallace and gromit shorts as a lil kid, and the craftiness of it, like mundane materials coming to life. the short was just wonderful! and all these extra bits worked into this video are awesome, soldier finally gets to use his pistol heheheh. awesome work you guys!
I didn't realise the amount of work put into this, wow. The animation was so fluid I wasn't sure if this was stop motion or not, great work guys! I absolutely loved this!
Stop motion art is severely underrated. The amount of hard work and energy that goes into these type of productions astonishes me. Bravo to a job well done!
So much respect to the animators behind this! Not only is stop-motion animation tedious, but its seems to be difficult for it to look good. The team behind it made a spectacular job, and I applaud the hard work and dedication put into this project.
As a student animator myself it is absolutely grate to see you guys use the same program (DragonFrame) as we do :3 this is so inspiring thank you! Keep up the good work!
The amount of work it takes to do this kind of animating is insane. Perhaps that is why you don't see it very often anymore. Its all CGI. At least awesome folks like these guys and gals can get payed to do what they love and are good it, because this was a real treat to watch. Amazing work.
as a fellow animator, the work you did on this , is the best I have EVER seen in stop motion, No joke I tought it was cgi because of how well animated it is, congrats to the awesome animators and the riggers keep up the awesome work
I saw the final clip then came to the behind the scenes look. Absolutely amazing to see the transformation and the dedicated work involved in producing a great stop-motion video. Fantastic work and in the words of Junkrat : " Come on, come on, I hate waiting. Where is the next clip? " Hope you will make more, they are definitely worth watching over and over again.
This was so amazing and seeing how much time goes into this is a lot of hard work and dedication. Makes you appreciate it even more. I've dabbed in stop motion, not to this degree but just putting 5 seconds of a video together was rough. I hope you guys manage to make more.
I love the perspective he has on stop motion animation. Haven't been the biggest fan of the art, but I definetely want to see it differently. Good job on the short. It was just fantastic :)
I almost feel bad for the sheer and candid enjoyment I had watching the short without knowing the amount of work involved. You guys are crazy. And gifted :) Thank you, thank you, thank you. And, yes, thanks to Blizzard as well :)
I would love to see a cartoon or stop animation movie or show of Overwatch. This was really great, and I loved seeing the steps involved in bringing it to life! Happy Anniversary!
I was surprised at how smooth the animations were, I almost didn’t believe it was stop motion. I was impressed by the candles and wondered how it was done.
SOLDIER CALM DOWN ITS ONLY A GAME. But omg really this is amazing!! Such hardworking and dedicated people, it’s truly just.. AMAZING. There’s no other word to describe how fun watching this was and seeing the creators enjoying their art. 💜
Congrats !! This is Awesome !! You guys work is growing by leaps and bounds , every phase of production to completion is outstanding !! I know I definitely want to see more !!

MORE CHARACTERS!!!!!! \(0o0)/
Agree, they even add at the end of the video even more animation with that little scene about that reaper model returning to his box lmao
I just love how even the blink effect is a physical object filmed via stop motion!

Hats off to everybody in the team who worked on this. You all did an amazing job. And thank you for doing your little part in keeping the art of stop motion animation alive :).
I love how Reaper shook his head when he refused to get in the box. So adorable
I wanna see a mini figurine McCree high noon everyone.

NikOwnzYu I would like to see a genji dragon blade them
Raz0r837 Like until overwatch 2 came out

I can only dream to be as talented as them one day and working for such a big company...
Strikie that makes two of us
Nah if you work hard you can
That would be awesome
Stop dreaming. Start working hard!
watch the completed movie with comma and dot (. & , ) to do theyre job a bit, frame by frame :)
I can only imagine the amount of vision and patience it takes to bring something like this to life.
The amount of effort put into this is incredible. Imagine having this much talent and passion and pATIENCE to do something like this... It's crazy. I love it. Amazing job! 👏👏👏
12 weeks to make an awesome 2 minutes video,major respect for all those people who worked on it!!
Natasha Ishwara I WAS LOOKING FOR AN ARMY IN THE WHOLE COMMENT SECTION AHH FINALLY FOUND ONE YAAAASSSSSSSSS JACKPOT
Natasha Ishwara yoongi is lifeu
Gabriel Reyes haha,who knew reaper was an army 😂
Honestly, this video was more entertaining than the actual short... I'm not trying to be mean or anything. I just like seeing how things are made, this was really cool!
Fish Smell Bad I feel ya dude
It is! I really love these behind the shot things as well. It was great fun to see how this came to life.
Yes! And seeing how passionate these artists were on what they did and how they did it. So nice
WAIT the cake isn’t real 😥
@Mark Firdaus thank you for that
It would go off if it were a real one
No the cake is 100% real so don't worry you're about it I'm sorry the cake isn't real but such a piece of cake
Edit:the reason why this is very obvious this was a joke is because I already had people who got r /whooshed
It's real :(
Portal flashbacks
You heard of "Nebby get in the bag"
Now get ready for...
"Reaper get in the box"
Omg I love nebby
I understood that reference captain america meme.gif
5:16 😄
So no one is gonna talk about that 1v1 at the ending?
Lmao haha me too 2
I call dibs on Reaper not getting inside his box
It looks so cool! I can't wait to see it! Edit: never mind just came out! ;-) but I love this stop motion.
Raptorus77 I know Shabbat can’t help
This made me cry. The love and work put in to this just brings me pure happiness.
Fantastic job to everyone involved in this. Absolutely amazing to see what went into the video and how much effort it took to actually make it. Such a talented group of people working for Blizzard.
So inspiring I love this so much
I love this game so much
And I love you so much 😘😍
Kobe Michilot you play ps4 give me your gamer tag
same 💖 the game is special
I luv it so much
Me too. With all the people saying it’s old or full of toxicity, they forget the game itself is still an amazing masterpiece
Doge Wow so true! they all say only noobs or salty player plays this game but just like you said they forget the game itself.. I really, really love this game, actually everything of it
This is honestly probably my favorite "cinematic". Seeing them interact in the real world is just beyond cool.
D:
3:16
The cake is a lie
I'm not even angry.
I'm being so sincere right now
Underrated comment
wrong universe
D:
This Behind the Scenes is so satisfying, I love it! What an awesome job guys!
All these people here early before they even watched Trace & bake...
Im one of them xD
How you know? maybe I watch the video before and I coming to see the making, of course not my case but maybe the case for the others....
Satou I was talking about when the video had only been uploaded 20 seconds ago.
I got on the stream at exactly the right time to see it debut
Which was weird, because after watching it I felt like I only came for the stop-motion, and left to do other things
I saw them side by side on my recommended...I chose the actual video. HA IN YOUR FACE!!
So much love, passion and sheer creative genius that goes into Stop Motion Animation!
First time Jack has ever used his side pistol
thank God it's not the emergency suicide tool people headcanon it to be
IceFire That’s a headcanon?? That’s kinda depressing.
It's fairly common and IT MAKES ME SAD
Imagine having that in the game.
HAHAHAHAHA NO ONEEVERREALIZES THIS !!!
I have huge respect for stop motion animators, I sometimes still can't believe the amount of work and love that is up in every short.
Big kudos to the team, and hope we get to see more!
This was so amazing!! The animation was fluid and you guys seem so passionate. Well done ❤️❤️❤️
I was blown away by the short and even more the time and effort you guys put into this. Its incredible to watch and I adore all the shots of the production, showing the animators whizzing around as the models do their thing. I really hope we get to see more of your amazing work.
Also the extra bit at the end was great!
love the ending. reaper doesn't wants to go back into the box to be use for next year XDD.
The animation turned out SO well! Great job everyone who worked on it and happy anniversary Overwatch!
So much work to make stop-motion videos, but the end result is worth it!
the sheer amount of effort that goes into any form of animation always baffles me, but stop motion is a style i've always found particularly heartwarming as well. maybe a touch of nostalgia from seeing wallace and gromit shorts as a lil kid, and the craftiness of it, like mundane materials coming to life. the short was just wonderful! and all these extra bits worked into this video are awesome, soldier finally gets to use his pistol heheheh. awesome work you guys!
that reaper is so cute
I didn't realise the amount of work put into this, wow. The animation was so fluid I wasn't sure if this was stop motion or not, great work guys! I absolutely loved this!
I got these two videos at the same time.
I was drunk when I created Brigitte.
Jeff Kaplan FIX HER!
FIX HER JEFFEREY
fix these people who sincerely complain
ColdRamen it's a joke lol
Jeff Kaplan ive seen u before
It looked so amazing when Reaper used Wraith Form :)
I want a new map where it's a giant house and the payload is the cake.
And to go along with it, we get action figure-ized versions of the heroes for new skins.
Mr.FluffyFace
That would be awesome
Stop motion art is severely underrated. The amount of hard work and energy that goes into these type of productions astonishes me. Bravo to a job well done!

Happy anniversary overwatch and to the players that play this amazing game i hope you an amazing anniversary to
Ugh I hate boxes
Even lootbox?
Boobearlads I guess not because everyone loves loot boxes (blue or grey stuff inside lol)
The real question is do boxes love you?
What about that box that Santa gave you that had your cookies in it? Do you hate that box?
Lol I can see that
The animation of the handmotions, reloading/movement/weapons, impressive work.
Perfection at its best
So much respect to the animators behind this! Not only is stop-motion animation tedious, but its seems to be difficult for it to look good. The team behind it made a spectacular job, and I applaud the hard work and dedication put into this project.
As a student animator myself it is absolutely grate to see you guys use the same program (DragonFrame) as we do :3 this is so inspiring thank you! Keep up the good work!
The amount of work it takes to do this kind of animating is insane. Perhaps that is why you don't see it very often anymore. Its all CGI. At least awesome folks like these guys and gals can get payed to do what they love and are good it, because this was a real treat to watch. Amazing work.
Can Funky Kong be the next hero?
The EnderCreep Candy Kong all the way smh
No it should be sans
It should be steve
Lanky Kong should be next
*NEW FUNKY MODE*
It is amazing. I really appreciate the efforts of the team in celebrating the 2nd anniversary. I hope to see more animations like this in the future!
4:44 Press 'F' to pay respects to these amazing artists of blizzard.
Trace and Bake was so charming and sweet, I love stop-motion so much! What a great project it was, and I hope they do more. :D
"You think therefore you are"
I see you Overwatch Team ;)
The amount of effort put into this is astounding and the results are phenomenal! You all did an amazing job!
Is that guy... THE LAST AIRBENDER!?!!
Okay I Guess okay I guess
as a fellow animator, the work you did on this , is the best I have EVER seen in stop motion, No joke I tought it was cgi because of how well animated it is, congrats to the awesome animators and the riggers keep up the awesome work
Reaper smoke so awesome
So much respect and admiration for these people.
THIS IS SO COOL
I saw the final clip then came to the behind the scenes look. Absolutely amazing to see the transformation and the dedicated work involved in producing a great stop-motion video.
Fantastic work and in the words of Junkrat : " Come on, come on, I hate waiting. Where is the next clip? "
Hope you will make more, they are definitely worth watching over and over again.
This reminds me of the movie SMALL SOLDIERS
"I do think we'll be doing more of this in the future" I so much look forward to this.
"I'm already Tracer..."
This was so amazing and seeing how much time goes into this is a lot of hard work and dedication. Makes you appreciate it even more. I've dabbed in stop motion, not to this degree but just putting 5 seconds of a video together was rough. I hope you guys manage to make more.
I swear you better make a tuxedo doomfist
slowpoke
They did. Its in the anniversary event
Reaper5150 did they release it already?
Ooey Gooey nah they haven’t it’s released on Tuesday
YungKiwi I’m talkin about if they released the skin but thx
Every time you see how much work they put into these things it gives you such a greater appreciation for it all. Really great work
4:44 F

I think I cried.
This is unbelievable. I hope we can see more from you guys!
1:27 I wouldn't mind if Blizzard gave Soldier 76 a pistol as a secondary weapon xD
so much respect for the creators of this animation, and i loved seeing all the behind the scenes work!
How do you find the Soldier 76 video shown at 0:55? Does it even exist on youtube?
I'm trying to find that out to
No
Wow...all that passion...I am so jealous.
Passion can take you really far. Kudos to them! Loved the anniversary vid.
1:27 when you see a bastion
Wow. The blinks looked REALLY good. I thought they were put in post, they were that crisp and bright. Amazing short!
3:00 B I R T H
This was such a wholesome video and it felt like condensed good vibes and creative energy
Robot chicken overwatch!
I love the perspective he has on stop motion animation. Haven't been the biggest fan of the art, but I definetely want to see it differently. Good job on the short. It was just fantastic :)
The cake was fake. The cake is a lie...
Jovial Bard and your life is a joke
WHY WOULD YOU POST BTS BEFORE THE ACTUAL STOP MOTION VIDEO
Cdawwwgo they posted a playlist so it happened to be first
I almost feel bad for the sheer and candid enjoyment I had watching the short without knowing the amount of work involved.
You guys are crazy. And gifted :) Thank you, thank you, thank you. And, yes, thanks to Blizzard as well :)
Needed more salt
TFN19 Lel ayy get out

You can find plenty of it in competitive
I would love to see a cartoon or stop animation movie or show of Overwatch. This was really great, and I loved seeing the steps involved in bringing it to life! Happy Anniversary!
I didn't even noticed it is stop motion. This is as smooth and flawless as an animation short!
Well done!
I love the way the thought process behind this amazing short has been portrayed!
hmm it's so amazing!
This hard work bring tears to my eyes thank you so much and happy anniversary ❤️
I was surprised at how smooth the animations were, I almost didn’t believe it was stop motion. I was impressed by the candles and wondered how it was done.
Great job to all involved in making this short! It came out fantastic, and I'd love to see more like it in the future.
That is truly unbelievable. Awesome short at the end too. What incredible skills!
