Well, I must say that's a pretty amazing piece of work for a raid instance that a very small fraction of the playerbase is going to actually participate in. Hopefully it's motivational!

I like the video, and I really hope the rest of the dungeon lives up to what I'm expecting. So far just testing Najentus (or whatever) and Shade of Akama I'm liking this place a lot more than say SSC. Also, I'd say the fact they're going the Naxx route with a high lore involved dungeon, with a strong intro movie, they're really pushing to make this seem like the next Naxx to really get raiders happy, and god I hope they succeed.

I've always wished for a tool that would allow us to spawn characters and animate them with a free-flying camera to boot for machinema artists. Currently I have to create characters in front of a solid background in a model viewer, animate them there, and then import that footage over footage captured from a world map viewer and essentially hope that any moving objects/backgrounds line up. This method provides a great advantage with being able to separate foreground from background (apply depth of field and such), but at the same time it's damn hard with multiple moving charactes/objects and a moving background.

There is so much awesome potential for machinema in WoW if we could do it in the same fashion that Blizzard can.

Hopefully the other changes coming in 2.1 wil allow more guilds to experience BT than were able to experience naxx before it was cut-short by an expansion. The video got me really pumped for black temple, very well done and explained a lot of things about the history of BT.

Also, the official 2.1 wallpaper is pretty cool as well

Very nice video, explains the lore behind Black Temple (at least enough of it) and made you continue watching. Good turn-around from some of their past videos.

It's amazingly well done. The Kael/Vashj/Illidan scenes had me all giddy

Shame most of the playerbase will never see it.

What is the most important thing to you? Won't you grant me the pleasure of taking it away.

Wow. Kael'thas really let himself go since leaving Azeroth.

On the topic of Kael'thas and that video, it got me wondering who'd voiced him in TFT (I'm a big VA nerd). Went googling, didn't find it, but did find a clip of him from TK in WoW, and, well. Judge for yourself.

I think the worrying thing is I found this on someones lj...they're seemingly writing an Illidan/Kael'thas fanfic. One of *those* fanfics o_0.

Perhaps http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0372023/fullcredits#cast could narrow the search down for you.

Oh wow Michael Bell played Medivh. I always thought Medivh sounded a lot like Raziel.

Nice loregasm in that video, and it's good to see the horrible voice-acting that has infected some of TBC isn't harming their video production.

I still get shivers when Prince notes that "WE FIGHT NOT MALCHEZAAR ALONE, BUT THE LEGIONS I COMMAND," it's probably my new favourite line in WoW, and Akama is clearly alive and well - so how did they screw up Kael and Illidan so bad?

I just had this vision of Prince, the musician, being thrown into that video. Now it all makes sense.

See you, auntie.
