Everyone on staff is a huge Warcraft fan--they've played old school Warcraft, lost days of their lives to World of Warcraft.

Warcraft has so many great characters and story arcs which made it hard to actually find a story of a suitable length for a movie.

Original movie was very Alliance-biased, put Orcs in a more negative light. It was important this time for them to show both heroes and the conflict.

Feels like a live action movie, the camera follows around from their perspective. The VFX for Orcs were hard to nail down, they needed them to be as genuine as humans. They used a lot of motion capture.

They built sets, locations.

They created a training session for people to become Orcs--actors had to learn how to become a 500lb creature, nuanced Orcs. Were they noble Orcs or aggressive ones?

They didn't want to do motion capture for Garona.

One of the actors--Robert Kazinsky--actually had over 500 days /played, Death's Demise, and more. He was in a top 100 World guild!

Took months of training to learn motion capture. The actors also had to learn how to walk differently, get more in touch with their Orc side.
