WoW Moviewatch: Unstunted, Volume II

In April, I blogged a little gnome ... err, known, machinima called Unstunted Prologue. It was a short clip of a gnome being punted by an ogre. This time around, in Unstunted - Volume II, the gnomes are back for revenge. Indeed, it begins where the last one left off -- where the gnome falls in the tavern.
Macky, the creator of the series, says that this will most likely be the last time that he does a video this long, and we can see why! He exported models from WoW Model Viewer and put them into Maya, made them symmetrical, rigged, and hand keyframed the characters. That's why it comes as no surprise that some shots took over 48 hours to render! The result is an amusing story with a happy ending that you'll just have to see for yourself.

Best production values I've seen in any WoW machinima. Never seen anything close. Pro level rendering using pro tools.
The angles and framing could've been better done, to play up the gag of how difficult it is to harvest prairie oysters from ogres, but it's refreshing to see a WoW machinima which isn't a music video with tons of filter work using the standard animations in short bursts, no matter how well done.

Fantastic animation - wasn't hot on the content myself but still, enjoyable.

Justice for Gnomes. I found it appropriate.
Too bad he's not making more. Oh well.

Like some others have said, the content left a little to be desired, but it had terrific visuals!

I can't blame the maker for the content being a tad lacking. First time doing this sort of thing right? I'm just thrown back by how damn good it looks.
Hope more machima ppl group up to make more lengthy vids with the kind of good concepts I have seen in the past.
