WoW Moviewatch: Beautiful Stranger

The story is a fairly straightforward "Dude, where's my Draenei/mount/sister?" gag, but I think that's a strength. The voice acting is a huge improvement for Beautiful Sister, and the plot actually steps forward with an even, good pace. My hat's off to Romire for good work.

Forgive my terrible Draenei accent.

It's spelled "starring" not "staring" when you're talking about the stars in a performance.

Cute vid but I was rooting for our hero to be ganked all the way across the world.

Where to begin...
Terrible audio, particularly with the human male and the noticeable mic static every time he spoke. Nothing ruins listening to a character speak than when you're made acutely aware that someone's keying into vent for their lines.
No subtitles - again, this was most bothersome with the human and his accent. It wasn't *impossible* to understand or anything, but he wasn't the only one that was guilty of speaking too quickly and mumbling some lines.
Just a general lack of emotion and believability in the voices all round. Everyone was either trying too hard (the females, mostly) or sounded like they were simply phoning it in. Of course, nobody expects a professional movie's level of quality from a machinima video or anything like that, but it's still noticeable when something's done particularly badly. Compared to other machinima, the overall level of voice acting was poor.
The animation was on par with most machinimas of this type, so no criticisms there.
All that said, I only got about half of the way through before I rolled my eyes and gave up.

Terribad. Seriously, pretty poor. This looks like a machinima produced about 6 years ago.
Plus the title of the thing is Beautiful Stranger, not Sister.

Hey all. We just made our first WoW parody song, check it out on youtube. We haven't got very good video skills, but check out the song at least:

Videos by Romirevids have been posted before (three others, I believe?) and the reaction continues to be the same. Very few comments, hinting that people aren't bothering to take the time to comment; a resounding "Meh" average on the video, or simply "This is bad".
The third of those seeming to be the most common. It is nice that someone seems to think this guy might actually have potential. Someday. But the continual placing of videos that are sub-par at best just seems like a filler while we wait for a repost of Blind.
I have not seen anything that warrants this artist being featured four times now. Once, in my personal opinion, was too much.

Probably because people complain every time a new Crendor vid is posted, or because it's a music vid, or it's already been posted 1000 times before. If you're paying attention to the comments section that much you'd see the hate every vid gets on Moviewatch :p
