Overwatch Short Films

I went on to think about the Overwatch shorts produced by Blizzard, each one shedding light on the backstories of each of the characters the gamer can play as. I would be very interested in using one of these animations for my final essay because they're all increidble. Not only is the animation perfect, but it's their subtly progressing a story that I find beautiful. They are professionaly put together. 
I picked these videos specifically because these characters interest me the most.


'Alive' features 'Windowmaker' an assassin after the president. I love the use of colour within this animation, along with the framing and fight scenes. I would associate this film with the genre 'Action' due to the very long fight scenes. It's action packed. I think I will end up analysing this short.



'Dragons' features the Samurai Hanzo, again this short interests me due to its use of compostion and interesting characters. 


'The Last Bastion' features Baston the robot and his emotional fight with nature and technology, it's visually stunning, the story telling with it's subtle composition and framing is flawless.


But that's what's great about these animation, each character is so strong in personality. The back story being brilliant is that much more interesting.
