  • amazing.

    

  • @junkman5555 The way I see it, Sedrin realises in the second half of the video that gear doesn't matter to him any more - what matters is being friends with Raeni. He destroys his gear and breaks free of his "frame of mind" before going to find Raeni and doing the same thing to her. Presumably they're friends after that!

  • This is one of my favourite videos...But why does he destroy all his armour toward the end?

  • @PixelizedSnowflake Cuz he has a revelation is like "Fuck it, friends > armor." :P

  • Well i liked it, but I'm not really sure what was supposed to be happening in the 2nd half, once it went to color. someone explain pls.

  • You know i would just like to say this i dont know if any of you agree but let me tell you all something

    I started playing wow on july 3 2008 and i have played since then but that first summer has most of my best memories on ow i mean wow is still fun but it could be as fun as it was now i feel its all about gears and i still play but i wish it was like back then when everyone was social i just felt like saying that thankyou

  • This song is prolly the best as far as story and plot of the video goes. The graphics are good enough to keep you visually involved though :p

  • Very clever!! I can't believe how awesome it looks!

  • Just loved it.

  • THAT'S why your guild name sounded so familiar! I was on Eredar for a long time myself. I was in U Got Horde, Illuminatus, Months Behind, Severed... but then again those are/were all Horde guilds lol

  • Could anybody tell me what programs were used to make this?

  • Oh my! I've seen this vid plenty of times and I love it, but these comments make it even better! Really nice to get a glimpse in the mind of a fellow machinimaker :)

    Keep up the good work!

  • Wow, thanks alot for those descriptive annotations! Helped alot in understanding the production of this video and really gave me an insight on your machinima! Very well work on this! I favorite'd it, and gave it an awarding 5/5 star rating! Hope to see more incredible machinima!

  • Awesome video! It was very very well done! Doesn't get old no matter how many times I watch it!

    I gotta ask, what other programs besides After Effects were used? I've seen other videos who claim to use 3 or 4 separate programs, but don't look half as good as this!

  • WRONG At the description it's ''Friends can be epic'' and ''Gear is legendery'' kek

  • Awesome song,awesome video. Love it.

    I watch this video every single time I'm in youtube ;o No words to describe this. GJ.

  • this vid makes me cry or at least want to evry tiem i see it... its also rly inspiring.. u saif it won the Ataris WoW Machinima contest 1st place, but MY question is : WHY hasn't it won at blizzcon??? ;]

  • It hasn't been entered at BlizzCon.

    The real reason there is that, so far, all BlizzCon contests have required either original music or Blizzard music ONLY. The Ataris music would disqualify this video as a BlizzCon entry.

  • ... not to mention, all BlizzCon contests also require that any submissions be never-before-released.

  • I love this video, but it always makes me cry, especially when he starts destroying all his gear for her. Beautiful video, really! (just wish I could figure out how to turn off the commentary windows)

  • This is still one of my favorite WoW music videos of all time. Doesn't have anywhere near the views it should.

  • great video, i cant stop watching it.

  • Gear can be epic. Friendship can be legendary

    Freakin' Great Video

  • I love it in the end with "breaking the grey" on that gnome and troll ^_^ Awesome video, and clearly a stand out from all other wows.

  • Seen this at least 15 times! Very fine editing and story tbh.!

  • Man I love this so much. Everytime I watch it I want to play WoW.

    Anyway great job. Pure beauty.

  • ok well thats an awesome movie but you seriously should make another one to explain how you did and not load the screen with the comments. A side from that I really enjoyed it :)

  • You can hide annotations with the button in the lower right.

  • hi Raeni/kirlune..

  • Hello. :)

  • que te den por culo a ver si te metes los comentarios del video en tu puta casa ;)

  • You say your guilds on eredar? Ive been gakned/camped by your guildies mate.... No worries tho. its the nature of the game. But this video was amazing it gives me a little bit of pride that it was partially filmed on my server.

    For the Horde!

  • fantastic

  • And, at wher it said (Wait, what?) on BL, it was Blasted lands, though.. would there be light´nings in Tanaris?

    Pause in the start of Blasted lands img. btw please respond, :D

  • Read the notes carefully.

    The montage was meant to show zones increasing in level, and most people would place Blasted Lands BEFORE Eastern Plaguelands. In the video, it comes after. That's the explanation for the "wait, what?"

    I also mention that the real slashdance guild is on Eredar.

  • Is Kirlune and Sedrin on Eredar or Greymane? :P

    I love this vid, it's the fourth time i watch it... awesome... :DDD

  • i love this song so much i even no the words

  • GREAYMANE!!? That's my server! :D

  • Is it sad that I listen to this every time I make a new night elf character? :S

  • i watched this again to find out there was commentaries. Those were actually really and probably the first and best commentaries I've seen in any kind of video(including movies) that I actually payed attention too.

  • Thanks for the commentary Sedrin, was really cool to see how everything was made, and how you got around the problems.

  • It would have been hilarous if someone yelled hacker as the night elf priest was flying over the land.

  • Blasted Lands

    (wait, what?)

    Probably strange i know that but could it happen that this was Tanaris?

  • "Behind the scenes" annotations have been added by Sedrin as of August 26, 2008. You can disable them using the pop-out menu in the lower right of the video window.

  • Cheyenne Line

  • Would reading the description be okay with you? It says the song's name within the first few lines, for crying out loud!

  • Only reason this won imo was because of all the effects. I didn't really catch on ith the video, And i know everyone's gonna call me stupid for saying that but eh, It was good, Just coulda been better. Very nice effects though :) Much more skilled than me

  • this only has 55 thousand views? deserves alot more, 5/5 from me.

  • Due to the high popularity of this, they have made multiple ones, all of which are the same. some have 100,000+ views, some have under 5000.

  • So cute ^.^

  • I wrote a post a while ago, and I keep comming back. I love this video, like really.. It's my FAVORITE WoW video, and I've seen a lot, I mean it's better than Tales of the Past 3!

    Once again, so much kudos to /dance.

    "We missed the pointing so caught in this moment we threw out our convictions and traded them for substance" pretty much describes WoW's RAID OR DIE attitude.

    "Gear can be epic, friendship adn be legendary".. Yeah, well this is an Artifact.

  • Hey that girl has my name on wow and im also a Night Elf Hunter xD (The name was Raeda)

  • mm, seems odd ohw they got so pissed over a friggin chest XD i see how this won becuase it was very well done

  • Looking at it on that level you're right. A few hours and she ninja'd a chest. Makes me think of a could 12 year olds who thought they found true love because they leveled to 12 together...

  • lol I've leveled with someone from 1 to 70 and we became best friends we ninja'd chests all of the time and it was still no big deal we actually met outside in real life.

  • This really makes you think of World Of Warcraft differently...

  • its so damn true ... it somehow reminds me on my own wow-story :) and im really grateful for all the wonderful friends i found :)

    at all, great video :)

  • best WoW movie ever made.....its so damn true....to bad i did stop with wow=/....but its ture....its better to stop before its to late;) (its to late when you live on grindfest)

  • Never mind, i found it. A link to a high resolution version can be found at filmcraft. org / spots / slashdance / filmlist

    (damn youtube won't allow url's)

  • So remove spaces in the url below

  • Wonderful directing, a song that matches it perfectly and a good story to boot. A true masterpiece, i love it! <3

  • Forgot to ask: is there a high quality version of this availably anywhere?

  • IT reminds me of my early wow days. I quit wow right now after become end game rogue. Honestly, i played Hellscream EU and i loved the serer, met such good friends, a raiding guild tht invited me at lvl 20 and went out of their way for me at many times. Great people, and every single one has dessapeared for me after i began raiding. Really moving vid man.

  • lol that is rly cool made vid =D nice made vid and music is nice 2 :D well done :D

  • We did not use a private server. Our characters are hosted on the US Eredar server, though we did roll a couple newbies on another server for the low-level scenes. Any seemingly "impossible" scenes to film were done with WoW Model Viewer and After Effects.

  • Wow, you're on my server? Sweet.

  • i was just fucking wondering this is my fav wow vid it just seems like they used a p server =/

  • Awesome vid.

  • Reminds me of the good old days, back when Uther was knew I made a hunter, made such dear friends I could joke around with, we fooled around, quested, dueled, everything. One day they disappeared, one came back momentarily and went off again, though. Brings back such memories, now as a 70 raider I feel nothing like back then...

  • same, lvling guilds are so more fun then those guilds you get in to raid, all the people i knew at that time have dissapeared aswell

  • Simply amazing. No no, best movie ever!

    And it's very meaningful as well, all that epic item crap ruins the game.

  • idiot.

  • thanks 4 the good commets2 me this is my fav vid

  • that was beautiful! bravo!!! keep it coming :)

  • someone told me they dident like this 2 hrs later his brain was eaten by a reatard cat

  • nice song and i think al lot of good work because of this 5/5

  • nice very nice =D

  • if you dont like this vid you will die in 3 min by a retarded cat eating ur brain :-S

  • Wow, congratulations on being the best video I've seen for a long time. THe most touchign too..

  • Strong message, it made me miss the time where you meet your friends, the low levels - the time where you quest together and fool around. The higher you get, the more boring it can become, anyways - abselutely one of the best WoW Machinimas ever - it will pass on into the Hall of Fame.

    And btw, it's like this: 'Items are epic, but friends are legendary' :p

    100/5 stars, it's too good to be real, I'll go wake up now...

  • 'Items may be epic, but friends are legendary'***

    Sorry :S

  • *cry* 5 stars

  • OMFG THAT WAS A MASTER PEIRCE

  • makes me fell when i started WoW made a priest i loved it when it first come out

  • that touches you ='(

  • ...damn. Thats all i can say. Man.. very very very well done. by far the BEST WoW Mach iv very seen hands down. The others don't even compare to this. Awsome hob.

  • This obviously had lots of work put into it. Nicely done. 5*, and Fav'd.

  • If anyone bags this song ill kill them this song rules and this video clip is the best 20/5 to good

  • it did

  • didn't this vid win WoW's music video contest?

  • <3 this video, this is one of the best videos i've ever seen

  • ^_^ best video ever made

  • wow this is one of the best made WOW vids ive ever seen in my life man 5/5 awsome

  • AWESOOOOOOME

  • I can't stop watching this vid. by far this is the best WOW vid i have ever seen.

  • illegal danish is pretty good...

  • Great Vid mate! ^^ i enjoyed it

  • nice ^^Really well made and nice ^^

  • Oh god I loved this.

    Great work with effects, the music

    was really nice and the message was clear.

    Makes me wanna reroll and play

    with one of my irl friends^^

  • Wait, does the priest get mad at the beginning because the hunter didn't roll for the chest? Just trying to clear things up. Great video btw. Part in the description that "Gear can be epic. Friendship can be legendary" is an awesome phrase.

  • Yes, he does. It's supposed to symbolize what they're saying. It's not worth it to lose friends over gear, or in this case, loot.

  • Yep,I mean come on~ flipping out over minor healing pots and freshly baked bread? lol

  • Just found a random link to this; fantastic job. Very well done.

  • I love it ^^ I have alot of friends and they spoil me so x.x but i love them all to death.and that flying looked like fun >_>

  • reminds me how i'm only a level 26 but i have a whole ton of fun with my friends and thats all i need

  • This movie is excellent.

    i dont get the part at the end where she's flying through Terokkar, but i still love it. brilliant work

  • I dont get this

  • dont have too makes it even more deep hell i dont even get it and ive watched it many times but who hasnt such a great vid and btw the song is called the "The Cheyenne Line" by the ataris.

  • I always find myself looking for this movie whenever I hear the song. Thanks to both this movie and Baron Soosdons', i've brought the album from The Ataris containing these songs. Thanks for introducing to me an amazing album and artist. Five star.

  • Fantastic. No other WoW movie has ever touched me like this. Keep up the good work!

  • So if i punch my interface on the screen, i get to fly and have better color?

  • I absolutely love the sentiment this video flows with. Great video.

  • One of the good things about this video, among others, is that what's going on in the movie follows the song. It doesn't always match the lyrics, but I'll be damned if I don't prefer this over someone trying to get a night elf to lip-synch the words or someone trying to match the video exactly with the lyrics.

  • Err...I meant it follows the music, not follows the song.

  • This is a very good video <3

  • i love this video

  • I stumble across this video every now and again, and it always succeeds in making me smile.

    Thank you for expressing what so many of us feel, but never know how to say. :)

  • Heh benn playing wow with my friends for the whole 3 years and i got to say this vid makes me happy to know there are other people who value their buds more then their gear. i can never get what make a person go all /gquit, ninja looter,hacker jerkoff over some gear or stuff. game does some crazy stuff to some people, but this vid gives me hope that people can see the light.

  • Aww... Love this video. Alot... Great job!

  • Amazing video! WOW, can't say more than WOW, because i'm speachless. AWSOME

  • man, WoW should never move you to tears, but this does everytime i see it.

    this is one the most poignant things i've seen in a long time.

    excellent work... perfect song, perfect video.

  • great stuff, but a little off >.>

  • i watched this when it was going on in the contest i voted for you.

  • This is a wonderful video! It almost made me cry.

  • apparently you have no heart, ever had friends, or are just an asshole. this vid made me cry, not almost, it did. if you cant find anything sentimental u are just an odd human being.

  • I nearly cried the first time I saw this video. The second and third times I did. It's just so beautiful; the story is all about how people get caught up in WoW's silly loot system and forget what's really important: Their friends.

  • wow that was AWESOME i love that song it just goes so much with this video and it has a great message :)

  • Oh my god..that was such a great vid..it made me almost cry!! I'm serious!! And it made me feel all happy and fuzy inside when they made up!!

  • I love the editing, effects and storyline, you have a really impressive talent and, i really love what you did with the game interface and the diagonal view points definitely subcribing /salute

  • This really inspried me to have friends, i leveled up to 70 with full merciless, but no one would talk to me ever and i had no guild, but then i had someone talk to me for like the first time for a good time, and they became my friend and now i have tons ;)

  • This has got to be one of the best Machinimas around

  • This Vid is Kool

  • awesome!!!! 10 of the 5 stars!

  • This video is just perfect, its message.

    Specially when the night elf breaks the game interface, probably to symbolize the game has absolutely no importance if you don't have friends.

    When people mock others for asking things, answer "thottbot", "wowhead" or "read the game manual" makes me sad. This is already an online game. Don't walk too far from your humanity or you may never get it back again.

    Perfect. 10 stars.

  • I cant play WoW without having someone with me. Then a usually boring games becomes better, much better.

  • This is inspirational 100%! Some guy on my server was Lvl 70 and had great gear, but was never happy. So he left. I was his friend for a few months and he told me having friends was the greatest thing he ever had.

  • i LOVE this video soooo much but it think its really funny when it shows him getting all the gear and what not, when its in the character tab. Look at his +healing at the end, its like absolutely nothing

  • kinda remind me of me.. i got to 70 and got full epic.. had no friends and no guild. then i deleted my char and began on my old server to get aback to my old friends.. just geting a "gz" each i leveled where more than getting to 70 and get full epic..

  • I have to say, after about 42 minutes of jumbling through youtube videos just to find this, I don't regret a minute of it. There are a few machinima videos I love almost to the point of worship, and without a doubt, this is one of them. Amazing work, thankyou for sharing it with us. 5/5

  • one of the best videos i've seen on youtube.

  • This is one of the single-most-touching videos ever. And I'm not saying this because I like WoW. :P

  • /5 stars!!!!!!!

  • love this vid it realy gives a good point i mean if u have no friends then u have accomplished nothing couse u have no one to congratulate u on the achievement of geeting ur epics u basicaly did all that o show that u r an idiot for having more greed than wanting friends! but thats just how i see it so ya anyways i think it was a good vid....

  • WTF! Only 4 stars? Come on people! 5 Star this wonderful message!

  • There is no doubt.

    This video is worthy of nothing else but FIVE STARS!!

  • WONDERFUL!!

    5 STARS!

  • sweet video

  • BRAVO i understand what the statement is :D

    great thing Physical Items of Greed are not

    as good as obstruct items of Heart :)

  • I love this video :D:D

  • Most peeps made night elf hunter i did to, when they start the game and made some friends but slowly they stop play that guy and never talk to each other again

  • Gear can be epic. Friendship can be legendary. is a very true statment, you can have all of this epic gear and what not. but with out Friends it makes the not as fun. with out Friends your nothing really. people let the epics go to there heads and think thats all the game is about. this has been the best WoW video i ever seen. with a very good message in it. had a tear come to my eye on how true it really is. Very good job slashdance. ^_^

  • But then again you can have friends and epics :D unless you just really suck at multi tasking!

  • Awsome!!!!!!

    5 stars!!!!

  • i absolutely love this video

  • I don't think this video is about PvE or PvP at all, it's more like a story, the Heirloom signet of *willpower*, mark willpower.. He was trapped behind a frame of mind, a player controlled his moves, and the player was deleting all his stuff to probably delete the character, that's when he broke loose of the possession and he went to save his old friend.. that's my idea of the movie anyway :P

  • Actually the movie is about how we get cuaght up with epic items and stuff and dont realise the friends we have and that friendship, as he says on the site items can be epic but friendship is legendary

  • I said it was my idea, didn't I? Besides I like my idea better :P

  • =), i love this video, tyou idea is great, casuse wow is only a game, and lose friends with wow is....

    BTW, i love this

    /bravo

  • =) NS

  • im thinking he accually didnt accually destroy other gear heh

  • I wouldn't for my video either -.-' /is very cheap.

  • Was the ring that he deleted like not usuable ring? or wut? cuz i dont really think he even needed dat :P

  • Sedrin is/was shadow for levelling and the "Heirloom Signet of Willpower" has +dmg on it.

    But it is true that he had something new at the time of filming, so it didn't hurt much to actually destroy it. :P

  • Great vid :D very well done

  • You're Raenei?!

    You are my hero :D

  • Just to clear the air... Sedrin is not wearing hunter gear in Outlands. His priest is now level 68 and he is completely decked out in cloth (yes, chest and shoulderpieces too). Feel free to Armory (Sedrin/Eredar) if you don't believe me.

    For the record, to do the lowbie footage, we rolled clones on another server. The ninja-ed chest scene was our high level characters wearing low-level gear (and me with a low level pet).

  • To make it plain, in the video, I assume the pieces you are mistaking for mail/leather are the shoulders and the helm, which are "Mantle of Magical Might" and "Helm of Lupine Cunning" respectively.

  • Song = Epic

    Video = Epic

    Moral = Legendary

  • You people talking about the gear and whatnot they are wearing completly missed the point of this video. or song. GG

  • youre a complete idiot. do you think we're completely oblivious of the video and song just because someone askes a small question about the gear? it was just a question! theres 10+ pages discussing how great the video is as a whole. were we disagreeing with that??? GG making yourself look stupid.

  • gg for making yourself look like a retard, they are talking about priests and hunters and not leveling toons, Players who make these videos have one toon and its often a plate or mail wearing toon so they can wear anything they want for RP or movie making reasons, These idiots below me are trying to disprove the movie and say he is lazy, So GG to yourself Go fuck yourself you pos, Find a friend or a guild or a women you twit
