Heroes of the Storm

This cinematic signals the release of Heroes of the Storm 2.0, a major update to the game plus the introduction of Genji and Dva to the Nexus. The fight is against the Lord of Terror, Diablo, in the Overwatch level of Hanamura. I did the lighting/rendering/compositing for these shots and the last huge shot of the show starring all three characters. Lighting lead by Enrique Munoz. Directed by Jason Hill. Art direction by Mathias Verhasselt.
