How Hard Could It Be? The Story of a Cinematic
StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm embraces cinematics as a high-level storytelling tool, a tactic that has been under fire in the games industry in recent years. This presentation will examine the strengths and weaknesses of that approach by tracing the story development of one particularly difficult cinematic.

He will cover the obstacles that were overcome, those that weren't, and the lessons learned.
