The Craft of War: BLIND

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.

what id like to know is what sword models those are

December 30, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterAmidaman

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!

lame wow

December 31, 2008 | Unregistered Commentermkp

The direction and editing are top-notch. The music, however, sucked and didn't fit right at all...

December 31, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterTan The Man

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...

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.

December 31, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterPudie

just......er.........Awesome, nuff said

December 31, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterSeveer

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.

December 31, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterRobshocka

Does anyone know what programs were used to make this video?

December 31, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterCrazyAlaskan

@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.

January 2, 2009 | Unregistered Commentergao zhi

Nice video ! , nice song too.

January 2, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterMoklavea

@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

January 2, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterO'Neill

Use Google Translator it works better (just a hint)

January 2, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterO'Neill

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.
