WoW Moviewatch: Animal I have become

by Moo Money Jun 22nd 2008 at 12:00PM

In our daily quest for acceptable machinima to feature on WoW Moviewatch, it's very rare that we ever come across someone that we feel could end up as epic as Baron Soosdon, otherwise known as Rick Astley, Jr. Apein managed to start his path to greatness from his very first (and only!) video, Animal I Have Become. We haven't been this impressed with an up-and-comer since Lagspikefilm and Gnomechewer!

Apein has some big shoes to fill, but he already has a blog, where he posts teaser shots of his work in progress, and knows to upload to Vimeo. We were also impressed that he was able to keep the aspect ratio intact throughout, not get excessive with Model Viewer, blend platforms, and not go super crazy with the effects. However, we do object to the heavy blurring and the random zooms in and out. That wasn't enough to distract us from the beauty of this music video, though.

WoW Moviewatch: World of Workcraft

by Moo Money Jun 21st 2008 at 12:00PM

When a group of dragon slayers spend all day killing and saving villages, how could they possibly unwind? They log in to World of Workcraft, of course. Whether the assignment is making sales calls, reading reports, or dealing with the epic boss, these guys are prepared, but will the new guy fail them?

Lagspikefilm, creator of the hilarious Thrall's Crib parody, has made another film that is both funny and genius at the same time. However, the film has multiple branding from WeGame, is not available on any other site, and Oxhorn voice acted in it. It looks like Oxhorn may not be the only one on the WeGame payroll.

[Thanks, Tumnus!]

WoW Moviewatch: Thrall's Crib

by Moo Money May 1st 2008 at 12:00PM

After yesterday's subliminal debacle, we need some quality time in front of the television. lagspikefilm, previously known for his runaway hit, Crossing Over, has invited us into Thrall's Crib. This parody of MTV Cribs is so inspired by the real deal that I wouldn't be surprised if MTV sought permission to air it, or, alternatively, cease and desist it.

We're introduced to Thrall at the front of his pad, where he gives us a tour of his sweet rides, the room where the magic happens, and his unfortunate hair days. Fans of Cribs will notice every cut scene, musical choice, and even the sudden sped up footage. I wonder what a "house" like that costs?

WoW Moviewatch: Crossing Over

by Moo Money Mar 23rd 2008 at 12:00PM

Sometimes you stumble across a nondescript machinima that ends up being really well done. The creator will be a first-timer, but will have picked up on the techniques used by those thoroughly skilled. They might even have video editing skills as part of their real job.

I recently came across one such film, Crossing Over. However, those looking for fancy special effects will possibly be disappointed. lagspikefilm spins the tale of an adventurer that finds himself in some unusual places.

Will the adventurer ever find his way home? What happened to the problem in the cave at the beginning?
