So if you're like me (and like 1/2 of the world) you probably saw this animated short with the memorial at the end. You might ask why it's a big deal and why I'm posting it on the forums.
Because "The Last Bastion" isn't all Yvain worked on.
That's right, Yvain also worked on "A New Dawn". Something many consider one of League's best (possibly the best) cinematic to date. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzHrjOMfHPY
So, y'know, RIP you talented man.
Jet Sett4 votesI played the shit out of Bastion because of this Short; Rest In Peace Yvain Gnabro, still influencing people to this day with your work.
Red Silk3 votesThis makes me hate bastion slightly less!
Dataless3 votesThis cinematic hits all the emotional notes without a single word of spoken dialogue. Reminds me of the first half of Wall-E.
Gamemaster Anth2 votesSome people who commented on that video said Bastion was WALL-E's older brother.
Now I want some talented animator to actually make a short where they meet! Dear Gaia, the cuteness would be epic!
KoKoboto3 votesThe woodpecker part really got me.
Sahn Uzal2 votesThat's quite the touching cinematic...
DemiMax1 votesLook, I don't even play Overwatch (wish i could though), and I absolutely loved this cinematic, it's so beautiful, full of emotion and even touching, all that without a single line of dialogue. It delves into it's character : Bastion, the shots (or panels) are amazing everything looks alive and believable, from the lightning to the grass and dirt. This cinematic makes me want to play this game so bad. Its a masterpiece! I love these types of cinematics! I only wish we could have stuff like this in League. I understand Riot is not Blizzard, but I can't help but wounder how a cinematic like this one would be if it centered around a character like Zac, Gnar or Poppy. This animated short is amazing and you know Blizzard is doing a damn good job. Rest in Piece Yvain Gnabro.
