Irdeen Productions created Boomdyada for the Blizzard Rise to Power contest. While the contest version of the movie is a little different, this final machinima is the one that Irdeen released to the world. The song and video is obviously inspired by the Discovery.com The World is Just Awesome series.
This video is just awesome. I don't have the words for how happy it makes me. In the same way that Discovery.com's original advertisements somehow instills a sense of awe and wonder in the audience, Irdeen has done exactly the same thing for Azeroth. Featuring dozens of cameos and landscapes, Irdeen has managed to convey excitement and appreciation for everything World of Warcraft. (For those with a sharp eye and ear, that is in fact an Oxhorn cameo also.) The voice actors include such well known machinima stars as Jesse Cox and Matt Geenburg.
Irdeen Productions should absolutely be proud of this video. It's got to become a favorite of many WoW fans, and I hope we see more like it when Cataclysm comes around.
Interested in the wide world of machinima? We have new movies every weekday here on WoW Moviewatch! Have suggestions for machinima we ought to feature? Toss us an e-mail at machinima AT wow DOT com.
This is absolutely amazing! You seriously pulled out the big "DAWWWWW" for that one. I've played WoW since release and for all the times I get bored or tired of the game, this wonderful artistic creation features all the wonderful things that keep me playing. I love Azeroth!
I care about Lor'themar! Especially after his chat with the wow.com interviewer. :D My orc huntress made a point of visiting him regularly to give him charm bracelets she made.

Boomdeyada videos are pretty common these days, but I think that might be the best one I've seen yet.

LOL, that was exactly my thought. Just. LOVE. WIN.... I can't think of anything intelligent to add. ;)
I'm discovery channel addict so, that contributes but all the little in-game jokes were just too awesome. I need to watch this several times over. ;)

That's like batman eating a ninja while riding a dinosaur awesome.
Hollow Leviathan Feb 15th 2010 10:34PM
Slightly more awesome than that. I'd say it's Batman defeating Wolfman riding a falling meteor awesome.
Dr. Woo Feb 15th 2010 12:08PM

Sorry, that video was just amazing. Irdeen should be damn proud of that movie. I'll be watching it over and over again.

I was going to say that. I'm all misty-eyed. There are so many things I love about our world.

Poor Lor'Themar, two expansions and a Manga and still noone cares you exist.

That bit was hilarious. Going from swarms of Forsaken in Sylvanas's room to the one lone Blood Elf popping in for Lor'Themar.
