This cinematic was released at Blizzcon in October 2008. It introduces the Wizard character, and shows off some of the monsters and dungeons beneath the Tristram Cathedral, culminating in a showdown with the undead spirit Leoric, the Skeleton King. Gameplay footage is mixed into the production.
This is not a true pre-rendered cinematic from the Blizzard Cinematics Department. It, like the Monk intro cinematic was produced using the Diablo 3 game engine, machinima style.
