WoW Cinemagraphs

Exploration has always been an important part of any World of Warcraft adventurer's journey. Through a few pictures taken from the game, I wanted to capture those passing moments of contemplation, making you crossing the thin line between real and virtual. I started with a strong Photoshop edit to add this dramatic touch, then created the animation on After Effects. Lightning, smoke, clouds, sparkles, and every animated detail is made from scratch and perfectly looped on a short timeline, considering the gif format constraints.
