WoW Midnight Announcement Cinematic Art - (Matte Painting, Lighting/Comp, Color Keys, Concepts)

WoW: Midnight Announcement Cinematic

I had the opportunity to contribute in multiple roles on this cinematic, working closely with Art Director Fabio Zungrone. My work spanned lighting and compositing, matte painting, and concept design—helping shape the main structure to feel distinctly iconic Blood Elf.

I also transformed Adobe Stock images into individual reference cards, supporting the lighting and compositing team in planning background placement and enhancing scene composition. Additionally, I painted color keys to guide the cinematic’s overall mood and visual direction.

Huge shoutout to the talented team at SFD and the lighting team for their incredible work.
