The Making of Dawn of War - Part 2: The Cinematic

This is my 2nd video on the making of Dawn of War, and here I've been looking specifically at the iconic cinematic animation that opens the game. A standout memory for me is playing this animation over and over again when it was first released, as I'd never seen anything like it. It did an incredible job of translating the tabletop game into an animation and really captured the veracity and grittiness of Warhammer 40km and it still holds up to this day.

This video consists of interviews from people who worked at Blur Studio, the production company that made the animation. Big thanks to everyone who has taken part and took time out of their day to chat to me about a 2 minute long, 20 year old animation that is seared into my memory.
