WoW Moviewatch: Eternal Rose

The graphics in the video are beautiful, and I suspect Master Vertex has some definite animation chops. That being said, this video is awesome because of the design and screen elements, not just because it is well-animated. The piece has a romantic, elegant feel, and Vertex has pulled together the characters in an enchanting way. I found the rose metaphor to evocative, even if it's sometimes overused in animation.
My hat's off to Master Vertex, obviously, and I look forward to seeing what he might do next.

Stylishly done; and here I am, unable to even figure out how to get the models copied into an animation program yet. So much to learn ...

Stalking you again :P But if you are making moves towards making machinima, i wish you all the best, fingers crossed you work out the skills you need.

Well, I already made one, but it was 95% ingame and 5% modelviewer trickery. Nothing as advanced as this :)

Great, but really shows how dated wows models are. LOOK AT THAT HUMAN MALES HANDS!!!

Lol, I thought the same thing, along with "wow, this really emphasizes the giant man-hands female night elves have".
Other than that (which can't be helped), this was a lovely piece of animation. The movements were so subtle and delicate, which gave the whole movie a kind of tenderness that I don't often see in a lot of machinima.

Movie watchers!
I was listening to this song ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fDtLpCzKqkQ - Be Human, Ghost in the Shell) and I'm positive I've heard it on WoW machinima somewhere but can't find anything. I can't think of where else I've heard it before, though. Does anyone know if it's used in any machinima?

I love machinima that takes more control over the models & animates them in a natural way. I want to see more stuff like this and the awesome "BLIND".
