WoW Moviewatch: Beautiful Azeroth

Beautiful Azeroth is intended to be a series. This first episode offers a sterling view of Kalimdor, soaring over the wreckage and growing copses with a reverent eye. The background music by Clannad doesn't hurt, either. I suppose if any single artist really captures the heart of Kalimdor, it'd be Clannad or Enya.

Beautiful. What's the song called? Or did they make it on their own?

That song makes me think of the Lion King. Hail the song! \o/
Also, is that just 150% mount, or is it it a really cool way to make the camera move slowly?

Very well-done video, but...well, where were Ashenvale, Feralas, and Teldrassil? Incredibly beautiful zones somehow absent, replaced by a rather large amount of wasteland-type zones.

It's pretty obvious in some shots that the camera person is using their flying mount. The lack of night elven/draenei cities and the shots from inside org and TB means the person was horde. They can't exactly just quickly reroll an alliance and get the right flying to do the same for the ally cities.

Last I checked, Ashenvale and Feralas are very easy for a Horde to fly through. What would be the issue there?

Really beautiful. And the song was "I Will Find You" by Clannad, from the Last of the Mohican's sound track

Pretty disappointed that they didn't know any of the Draenei /Night Elven starting zones.

Looks like I've started a "trend." ;) Beautiful work!

BTW, a new video has been made for Eastern Kingdoms (look for the link at the end of the video).
Beautiful video, but IMO Wowcrendor made a better one, even if it was made before Cataclysm: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQ12VD2OUM0
The music was awesome, and I like the fact that most of the time the video only shows slight movement in the background (birds, etc.). One more thing, Wowcrendor shows the different zones in a kind of a progression order, which is logic and is good to create nostalgy in the viewer.
