The movie is focused on the vendors in Azeroth, Northrend, and abroad. To quote Galenmereth, "this is a video dedicated to all the vendors who usually only get our coin and not our love." Even ignoring the subject of the video's dedication, Life of a Vendor is shot with a careful, artistic eye. Its stop-motion method is relatively unexplored as a WoW movie technique, and the style serves wonderfully when shot over the shoulder of so many NPCs.
The song is obviously a treat. I enjoyed Lisa Hannigan's work and will probably check out other music by her. If it's as good as I don't know, it will quickly take up residence in my iTunes.
Overall, Life of a Vendor was a great video. Nice job, Galenmereth.
Edit: As pointed out, "time lapse" is probably a better way to describe this technique. Mea culpa.

What an adorable song that matched perfectly with the video :D I will definitely be checking out more from this artist, thanks!
Standard critique if the machinimist is reading: I think it would have been a bit stronger, though perhaps a slightly different message, if the vendors were moving at normal speed while the world blew by around them. Though that would doubtlessly have been harder to pull off.
All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Cheers!

I have to say that I think the music made this
I'm not sure I'd like the video as much if it didn't have such good music with it

for some reason the tauren that 'disappears' (logs out?) in the bank scene in Dal really made me kind of sad.
