Hellmor created How To Save A Life based on The Fray's original music. While the video doesn't have any kind of strong narrative, it's certainly a fun WoW music video. The choice of a piano-playing gnome will probably cause paroxysms among some of our readership, but I actually thought the model fit the vocals pretty well.
This kind of video can be important to folks who're learning how to create machinima. It's not a complicated project, in terms of narrative and timing. It does, however, present an opportunity to focus on animating characters and getting them all to work on the same screen. My hat's off to Hellmor; I hope you keep creating and enjoy the work. 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 email at moviewatch@wowinsider.com.
Yes, it's nice to see a Gnome in a non-slapstick goofy role for a change.
If someone hates Gnomes - and frankly ~any~ of the WoW races, there's a part of fun-loving missing from them. The bigger the hate, the bigger the hole.
Love. Enjoy. Live. Be accepting of others. Have fun ~with~ others, instead of at their expense. Share the fun, don't hog it.
1) When was the last time there was some amateurish (not sony vegas super effects / blizzcon mach contest quality) machinima with voice acting and people did a) "Fu- sake that guys voice was HORRIBLE!1" b) "The story was totally not big budget hollywood level" c) "This guy again doing these story things? How boring give me more more stuff moore" d) "my eaars raah!1"
Thats pretty depressing for future machinima makers, specially ones that want story. I've been thinking of making machinima but since my native tongue is not english AND my deep deep voice I have my doubts, even if I would get someone more clear the english wouldnt be "perfect" (would be more of rally english since sadly not many here know that much of pronouncing english like pro voice actor :( ). Peoples attidutes should change first
Thirdly, its simple too.
Music is "universal." Its easier to fit stuff to music than story. You dont have to make up stories (if you use lyrics), and you if you love that song you share the love
Moviewatch recommendation for tomorrow: Oxhorn's latest, a Lady Gaga Parody http://youtu.be/35uTnQ7rmY8 With awesome instructions on how to make a machinema towards the end.

Usually I'm saying - WHY are there always bloodelves?
I think a Gnome front-man is a nice change. ;-p
