WoW Moviewatch: Ascent vs. Illidan, with a twist
by Moo Money 
Apr 5th 2008 at 12:00PM
Having graduated from Windows Movie Maker up to Sony Vegas and WoW model viewer, he wanted to make a video that was more artistic than boastful. Brysan managed to come up with an entertaining storyline with what I felt was a decent voiceover and nice visuals. Since he's looking for ways to improve, I'll note that sometimes the lipsynching is off, the aspect ratio changes randomly, and the metal soundtrack made me want to cry, but that last one is more personal than anything. Make sure to include credits for any music you're using in the future!
[Thanks, Brysan!]

"Excuse me? Retribution is better than holy now."
If you're playing with retards in Kara then I guess that might be true.

OMG a clicker!!!
Otherwise, apart from a very cheesy concept, it's ok.

This music reminds me of the Transformers movie... I think it's from that!

One of the worst videos I have seen in a while. Looks as if it has been thrown together in a few minutes. That combined with the bad audio and cheesy 'heroic' atmospheric attempt.

All i hear in these comments is BAAWWW: stfu or make a better one kthxbai
Matt Apr 5th 2008 3:09PM
/agree

I have two questions for you, buddy. Why does one have to make a video in order to have the capacity to review? It might have been difficult to make the above machinima video, or perhaps not, but the fact remains it is put bad together.
Secondly, why do you talk as if you are ten year old, with the 'kkthbai' 'stfu' and other nonsense that floods WoW.

Jason, if you're going to pretend to be a critic, stop throwing around words like 'it is a fact that!', then all you're presenting is a subjective opinion.
You do not have to have made a machinima to successfully critique one (but my god does it help), but you do need to actually have some knowledge and/or experience in the field and be able to present something that's a little more than a handful of lines of drivel based entirely on fallacy and your own, subjective opinion.
There you go, that's my review of your dumbass comment. Leave it to the pros or do it properly please.

you sir, are a moron...

I was more hoping the comments would steer away from the fight sequences, the class I play and the fashion I play it.
I'm still fairly new at editing videos and was more looking for comments with a direction on how I can improve the visuals or editing.
My general idea when making these videos was to make kill videos for my guild that was more interesting than watching yet another kill vid with Linkin Park music.
If the theme is too corny, well, thats life I can't hope to appeal to everyones tastes.

Brysan, could you provide us with a listing of the tracks played during the Illidan fight and the credits, please? A couple of tracks there i really enjoyed:)

Great Movie Brysan.
Only thing I could say is; when you went to Silvermoon at the start, it went for way to long. It made it boring and didnt really make me want to watch the end, but I did :)
Good job, KJ next :)
Brysan Apr 6th 2008 2:05AM
You know, I felt the same thing after watching the finished version. Mostly I think it was that whole clip leading to the bridge that I made too long.
Thanks for the constructive critisism.

Nicely done! I enjoyed the credits at the end, that was a fun twist. Even though I though I recognized some of the music, there were some tracks that I couldn't place - would love to know what they were as they fit the film very well.
Brysan Apr 6th 2008 11:26AM
Songs used:
Barbastella - Batman Begins
The Darkness - Theme 1
The Darkness - Theme 2
Final Battle - Matrix Revolutions
Diem Ex Dei - Globus Epicon
Morrowind - Theme
Morrowind; Oblivion - Theme
Zoosters Breakout - Madagascar
I believe that covers it. I made this a few months ago so I might have missed something, if so, I'll look into it.

How could Brysan have possible put this video together in a few minutes!? I mean cmon! No way... Great video and also unlike the person who said that, I don't think it took you a few minutes.
