THE END OF AN ERA: Pandacat talks retirement, SWC, and plans moving forward - Pandacat
A bittersweet project indeed; this was the capstone to many years working for client and longtime friend Pandacat. After following and supporting his esports journey for such a long time, I knew it would be a difficult task to do his retirement video justice.
It was important to make sure the information was communicated clearly, but it also felt right to position it as a celebration of his achievements and career. So rather than going for a somber and melancholic tone, I made sure that it kept the same energy that made him so popular to the fanbase as a whole.
Also, I swear nobody ever actually quits competitive SMITE, so there's that too.
