He was the director of five versions of CG animation.

In addition to CG, this director has also come to China. In 2018, Marc came to the Chinajoy site and cordially answered many players’ questions about CG.

At the 2018 Chinajoy event, a Chinese player asked him about his expectations for the future of Blizzard CG.

Marc said: First of all, we would like to thank the players for liking the CG we made. We also realize that CG is an important means of telling stories, so Blizzard will make more and more exciting CGs in the future.

More than five years after throwing out this promise, he still left Blizzard.

If you only look at CG, you will find that the film team is the only team in Blizzard that surpasses itself time and time again on every project. No matter how well that version of the expansion pack performs, few players feel that the CG is not done well. Watching each version of the CG has become an important means for Warcraft players to understand the plot.
