Now I understand that most people here at Escapist have a negative view towards Warcraft but seriously this really is something anyone that likes animation will love. A person by the name of Percula took the models and such from WoW and reworked it into a full movie to watch. Articles on WoWInsider and such rave it and the movie has received a storm of reviews. So check it out and enjoy!

Seriously! This was well done to rework movements that are not easy to do

Wow, that was impressive. I never seen machinima quiet like this.

Yer, it was stupid, but machinima always is. But it was great fun and pretty cool...in a geeky kind of way.

I remember finding 'Illegal Danish' really funny. They only made like one episode but I thought it was hilarious. I was a WoW player at the time though. *bows head in shame*.

Warcraft is not equal to WoW. First one is a classic game and second one is a MMORPG that promised a war and gave us bunch of grinding on instances.

I have seen much better machinimas. This one may be good for you, but go looking around a bit and you will see that in reality it is nothing special.

Note: I am not faulting the guys work, I've just seen much better.

A surprisingly large amount of work has been put into this... pretty neat, it was also nice to see a single blood elf sneak into Stormwind, slash through half of the security and run away with a scratch...

Soundtrack annoyed the hell out of me, but seriously...

Rogues are overpowered, nerf!!11one :p

That being said, the quality of the animation is excellent, since this is the first WoW machinima I've seen where the author actually animated the characters instead of using the preexisting in-game emotes.

As for the quality of the whole thing, it was supposed to be one long fight scene and as such it has succeded. The plot is minimal, but makes sense. The elf rogue tries to assassinate Lady Prestor, who is in fact a dragon in disguise (Onyxia). Of course, she gets her arse kicked and is forced to flee. We have the hordes of mooks (Footmen) for the main character to slaughter and one of the SI:7 (Stormwind spies guild) elite to provide the flashier scenes.

But in the end, rogues can't solo Oyxia, even at level 80, so the ending is such. Perhaps if it was a shaman or a paladin, things might have turned out differently... ;)

Oh i've seen it before, the effects are really cool. I mean the amount of time he must have spent just extracting the models into an environment which he can freely edit the movement THEN putting it back into the map because half the movements in there arent available in game.

still though.... the MUSIC OMG WHY

Yeah that was the only downside of this animation but ya know it matched kinda with the movie. Sure Japanese people (Sorry if this is offensive) can't do pop but hey it works.
