Thanks Leonzo for getting this out to us

It's a nice video, but it doesn't seem to be made with WoW. The lighting model and animation has been done in an external program to which the author has probably exported the models (this can be done with, for instance, WoWModelViewer). It's skillfully done, but it crosses the line from machinima to 3D animation with pre-fabricated models.

"There are some great machinimas created by fans and at one point I thought about making a machinima as well but animation is what I do and I decided to use my skills in making something"

To me this says that they were thinking of making a machinima, but went with external animation tools, since that's what they use for their job. So I don't think they're claiming this as machinima, but I could be wrong

Absolutely amazing. Your song choice is a perfect, absolutely flawless compliment to your artwork, and even adds a flavor to it that another song may have missed.

As a rogue player among my favorites, I have seen these battles (more than SSing and eviscerating =P ) played out in my own head countless times, and I always wished I could find a way to bring the true beauty and agility of the class to life. You have done that and more. Your storyline (whether on purpose or just due to the date of production on this video) brings back the old school feel of pre-BC, which most veterans would tell you is most welcome. There is an innate rivalry and understanding beyond the obvious between both rogues in this video which I find astounding, seeing as you are working with WoW skins, regardless of however modified they may be.

I look forward to any future videos you spring out of that fantastically artistic mind of yours. As much as I would love to see Blind2, if I may be bold enough to give advice, come back to it later after another class or two Keep 'em on their toes wanting more. I also think you would do very well with comedy if you so wished. You do a great job of capturing the emotion and mood of the scene.


P.S Bloodfang always was my favorite armor set

Absolutely THE BEST Machinma I've ever seen!

[Eurekalulz]

Simply amazing.

[thilicen]

Machinima nextgen! Best animation work I've ever seen in a WoW movie.. I tip my hat for you sir.

[Tryss]

It's not a machinimas, it's an animation with WoW model & decors.

But it's still (more?) amazing... Maybie he'll get a job at blizzard with this ;D

[Nicolicious]

I have to agree with everyone in here. The best I've ever seen.

[trexia87]

That video was astonishing. That's all i can really say about it.

[Hexwitch]

Incredible video, saved permanently just like the Tales of the Past series.

[Sephirote]

Maybe with a bloodelf pally tanking this time with some taunt use, it will be easier to your rogue to kill her lol
