EX 1: It Moves! - Alive animation

Link -



For this task I chose the short animation 'Alive' which was made by Blizzard entertainment who made the game Overwatch which these characters In the animation are from. In the animation It features a agent of an terrorist organisation called Talon called Widowmaker attempting to assassinate Mondatta, the leader of the Shambali, who are robots who abandoned their programming to experience life like humans. Mondatta was there as an icon for robot rights. Tracer, an agent of Overwatch, a organisation of heroes, was there and saw Widowmaker and tried to save the day. In the end Mondatta is assassinated and Widowmaker gets away.

The style of this animation is clean and somewhat simple with not enough detail to be over complicated but not too little to be bland and boring. In part of the fight where Widowmaker was lining up the shot for the first time and Tracer comes flying past it plays the animation in slow motion and you can see the shader detail on the costumes aswell as the bullets flying past slowly with impact. I like this bit because it shows a lot of detail for a short period then back to constant action. Another bit I liked was when Widowmaker used a venom mine where the venom gas is deployed which is animated well with the gas realistic and visible, this then helps with pacing by slowing down the action by stopping the hero for a period of time to add tension
