A Very Northrend Christmas entry: Trees Things Happen

Well, after various trials, I managed to hack and cobble together my entry for Machinima.com's christmas contest:




I had to cut the movie for time pretty severely(around a minute) after the music and sound was already done, so you'll probably notice some discontinuities- sorry bout that. I had to make the movie in sections because of constant crashes(the source footage for this movie was ginormous), and when I assembled it the pieces seem to have been much longer together than I'd expected. Think I dropped a zero in my math somewhere. In any event, expect an uncut version eventually.

Special thanks to every who helped, especially my voice actors, and to Moo for forcibly convincing me to enter- I'm very glad I did!

First review

It's very exciting to have your movie reviewed by someone who makes great movies themself- and Olibith sure makes damn fine movies!

Olibith's Blog

As usual, the crazy French gnome is a bit overblown in his praise, but I certainly appreciate it, and of course his giving permission for this madness...

Trivia: Olibith's voice was actually recorded over half a year ago for a scene in my Christmas machinima, 'A Warsong Carol'. It was a scene set in Warsong Gulch, too- but it was him saying "Sacre Bleu, they've got Tim!" when Tiny Tim was captured- and we all know what happened to him...

A Warsong Carol, Revised

Warsong Carol(contest version) published, extended version nearly complete

After much travail, and someone fooling around with my WCM account after I left it logged in, the contest version of Warsong Carol is released!

I was planning on spending a bit more time on the revision, but since apparently whatever is up by tomorrow is going to be posted on WoW Moviewatch, I decided I'd best put up what I have.

For some bizarre reason, the sound errors are still coming up, despite everything I try- I even tried rendering out an MP3 of the audio track and then recombining them... anyone know what could cause such a thing?

Also, I am looking for voice talent for my future work- if interested, contact me on #machinima, send a pm through warcraftmovies, or send an email to aogcomic AT hotmail.com to let me know.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!

I got some nice new shoes, new slippers, a very nice chunk of anime, and a shot at knocking down Anzu to get my swift flight form(despite being woefully undergeared for heroic dungeons)


A Warsong Carol is still not finished publishing on Stage6 and WCM, but I did upload to YouTube in the meantime. When it goes up, there's also a nice little MP3 of the undead chorus. It ended up taking #4 in the chrstmas contest. Not bad for a first try^_^
