===Class Intro Movies===
These were produced in the game engine, machinima-style, and debuted with each of the final three classes, at Blizzcon in 2008, 2009, and 2010. Blizzard declined to go back and retroactively create introductory cinematics for the [[Barbarian]] and [[Witch Doctor]] as they thought it would be too much effort for little purpose.[http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/barbarian-and-witch-doctor-cinematic-trailers/]
* '''[[Cinematic: Wizard]]''' was released at Blizzcon 2008. This machinima style movie introduced the Wizard character, and showed her marching boldly through the Tristram Cathedral, past scornful villagers, en route to a final battle with [[Leoric]], the Skeleton King.
* '''[[Cinematic: Demon Hunter]]''' was released at Blizzcon 2010. This one introduced the [[Demon Hunter]], and made clear the growing expertise of the Blizzard cinematics guys with the machinima style of in-game movie making. (Though many fans found the dialogue painfully corny.) In the film the Demon Hunter finds signs of a massacre, tracks the one human survivor and defends her from another attack of demons, before recruiting her as a new Demon Hunter.

Players will view short cinematic intro movies for all five classes, in the final game. These are created with voiceovers from the characters themselves, and feature 2D style animation similar to that of the "Deckard Cain's Journal comes to life" as seen in the full game intro cinematic.
