WoW Moviewatch: Salad Elf

Today's movie, Salad Elf by Irdeen, is about a Night Elf with a gentler side to himself.
I enjoyed the voice over in it, it had a certain children's tale quality to it. Mother goose and all that. The actual machinima was done well enough. Irdeen mentions that this was a BlizzCon submission that didn't make it, and I suspect that the only reason it didn't get shown at BlizzCon was that the competition was quite good this year - the bar is getting set higher and higher for WoW machinima.
Now... off to make a salad for lunch. Eat that Kael'thas.

Uh, can you please not make fun of blue cheese?
I'd appreciate it =)

Blue cheese is nasty stuff....as is anything containing or made with it. *shudders at the thought*

Lies! Blue cheese is the best kind ever!
Remember, kids, all cheese is created through the destruction of natural products by bacteria, molds, and other things normally thought of as "bad". As is alcohol and bread, for that matter.

Got a few genuine chuckles, just because of how bizzare it was. Pretty good stuff O:
Although, the cameraman needs to sober the eff up, methinks. I felt like I was watching World of Cloverfield. (Durr hurr, geddit? =D)

Hah! I loved this. I found it humorous that the narrator described what the NE was doing right before he did, and all he did was repeat a portion of what the narrator said. The music gave it a cartoon-y feel to it as well, which aided in the Looney-Tunes-esque narration.
9/10!

Anyone else notice the creative use of vegetables at 0:19? ...Or do I just stare at people's groins too much?

LOL didn't notice on the first pass! XD

I hate to admit it...but I noticed it myself. I'm ashamed.

That was brilliant and, definitely unique. I think he should have submitted that piece instead.

I really liked it. It had a "Can in the Hat" feeling to it. Possibly because of the "and the elf did this" (Elf preformed action) bits.
At first I thought the old english accent was a bit much, but it fit as soon as the movie got going.

This was a rather odd machinima. Not bad...just odd. The voices were wonderfully done as well.
sarkune Aug 28th 2009 1:15PM
That sure was.... I dunno, but it was strangely compelling..
Tom Aug 28th 2009 1:17PM
Ahem. I believe it's spelled Bleu Cheese.

If you want to get really technical, it would be Bleu Fromage...
Also, salads are for people that want to convince themselves that they're eating something healthy when they really aren't. Caesar salad is really not healthy, but it tastes damn good. Coincidence? Doubtful...
