Heroes of the Storm – Firebat Reveal + Vancouver!
Earlier this month, Blizzard asked us to make a little trailer for the reveal of Firebat "Blaze" in Heroes of the Storm, so we drove up to the snow in Vancouver and did it!

I thought it was worth posting this if for nothing else than my own nostalgia. It sure has been a long road since we came begging you wonderful people for the money to make such a series.
This was shot during the middle of our final draft rewrite, and you can see on our faces that Freddie had just interrupted a stressful writers meeting to film this. That room is indeed where Will, Brian and I spent months writing VGHS. At the time of the Kickstarter, we were going at least five days a week to get the script where we wanted it because we were going to start shooting in a little over a month.
Things in the video that have changed:
But overall, the show has come along like we had hoped – scratch that, better than we had dared hope. We wrote a screenplay just filled with every “no-no” for low budget filmmaking possible – heavy action scenes with tons of actors, a futuristic-looking school environment, and much more. However, with tons of help from all of you (and plenty of luck), we were able to do pretty much everything we wanted.
We’ll be going over the evolution of the script and the entire writing process here and in some upcoming behind the scenes videos, so look forward to that.
Thanks again, and hope you all enjoy the show when it premieres.
