There is a lot of machinima out there that makes me giggle, some of it makes me think about how they have captured the footage and woven it together, and a few make me think about the mad skills that the people responsible must have.
The following video blew my mind. Moreso than any WoW animation I've seen, including the Wrathgate cutscene. A reader named Len sent the link to us and I hope that its creator, percula, continues to make these things because I loved this one. Watch this.

OMFG that was awesome best i have seen great i dont mind the music but all in all 9.6 out of 10
Killer Vid, I didn't think the music was that bad.. lol
what id like to know is what sword models those are
Hated the music. I found it very distracting. Didn't really mesh with the video, in my opinion.
Now that was hella sexy.
Amazing # of views on Vimeo. Almost YouTube-level. ;) I hardly see that many comments and discussion!

The swords are Chromatically Tempered Sword and Grand Marshal's Longsword
lame wow
The direction and editing are top-notch. The music, however, sucked and didn't fit right at all...
This isn't actually machinima, since it doesn't use the game engine to render the animation. It uses the models only, which were animated and rendered in a separate program.
Plus, it's pretty lame...
1 word.....AWESOME!!!!
i personally dont like that kond of music but with this video i works it brings mystiic to the female assasin and gives you the idea that shes the haro and doing the right thing...(well she was trying to kill onyxia :P) hope more are made...
and thank you juggy for posting this :) PS. sry for long post
sry i suck at writing and sry for double post but here are corrections in order: "Kind of music" "video it works" "shes the hero" againg sry
That was utterly awesome. At first the music did seem a bit much but before even the middle of the vid I was bobbing my head to it and love it alot. That's how I felt about The Peirces the first time I heard them and now I can't stop listening to them.
This person deserves a lucritive (did I spell that right?) carreer after this vid. It should open up many doors for this person. Good Luck to you.
It's no Tales of the Past, and I find all the praise to be a bit much. But still really good, and better then most other machinima out there.
just......er.........Awesome, nuff said
That was incredible. Without the custom animations, this still would have taken forever. Whoever made this should be payed, or even hired by Blizzard. They could do wonders for the cinematics department (they're good, but this machinima artist is better than a whole team).
I thought it was a great video over all, I was blow away.
Some people take issue with the music choice. I am not sure why. It was an interesting tune and not stereotypical for an action scene. But I guess unless you play the MK or matrix themes people aren't going to be happy.
Does anyone know what programs were used to make this video?
@Robshocka
Agreed, and if you go to the authors Vimeo page were they uploaded it, they even explain that the music was a major reason to the theme of the video.
I love this vedio
Nice video ! , nice song too.
what's name the song plz? :p
@Moklavea
I am really sorry, I just have to point and laugh at people like you. It says right at the end of the video. Either spend the time to watch the last second of the video (not the trailer to blind 2) or translate this. 安室奈美恵を隠す&シーク
Use Google Translator it works better (just a hint)
For those who don't know it: The allaince women is Lady Onixyea , a dragon that plans against stormwind in disguise, the bloodelf, was her mother. The Humen, Leader of the SI:7 or watchacallit.
