Life of a Vendor

[Bloodsoldr]

Busy busy WoW players scurrying around.

[BandanaMikey]

man this is quite nice video, at times the pictures might be a bit strange but the idea is really good! enjoyed it.

[WoWManiaction]

2:45 BEAR HUMP

[WoWManiaction]

thumbs up if this is way more populated than your dalaran...

[colalicious1]

0:59 OMG olde org! Woot!

[mrghostnapper]

i miss having to go buy arrowws and bullets for bows and rifles i thought it was awsome cuz iff u ran out in a BG or PvE u were screwed lol

[ManMadeOfIdiot]

Still makes me smile :)

I miss Dalaran.

[Galenmereth]

@ManMadeOfIdiot Wrathchan thought she wouldn't miss Dalaran once Cataclysm launched, but Orgrimmar just isn't the same...

[Cabus3]

was that your char in the end ?:D

[Galenmereth]

@Cabus3 Yes, that was Wrathchan there in the end :)

[lappodude]

nice vid.

[metaknight47]

This video makes me miss WotLK. I can't explain why, but it just makes me lone for the cozy feeling that was over Dalaran. I can still go there with my old druid, take some brew of the month with me, and just sit there. Thinking back to the frozen landscapes of Northrend. How we farmed, raided, and were just enjoying our time. Whatever... Great video! Love the music...

[Nobbejo2]

@metaknight47 Yeah this video made me miss wotlk too, even I didnt like being in Dalaran then and I though wotlk was so boring

[RawDogg1551]

LOL I WAS THAT MAGE AT THE BANK LOLOLOLOL

[kokoilie]

i was like LOL when in orgrimmar those two throw themselves off the cliff at about 1:04

[Tornadicus]

That proto drake made me rofl

[MrWillPill1]

What server was this filmed on?

[Galenmereth]

@MrWillPill1 This was filmed on Ahn'Qiraj Europe. The server is now mostly dead, however.

[gaudianangel567]

To the vendors we thank you for supplying our low levels with white items providing our 80s with repairs after a hard nights raiding and just generally being there we eternally thankful :) - Falkyr The Sha'tar EU

[CTPAX92]

this video is so dramatic, haha. Thumb Up!

[XmosChanelofCool]

WTF 2:27 THAT GUY ON THE GREEN PROTO DRAKE IS ME!! XD

[Khaeldhoros]

awesome, well done :) and indd, go guy on the proto drake :p

[AutunnsHeero]

i think its awesome how you did this video. kudos mate, top notch

[olalakid]

i keep coming back to this every week or 2, its just that awesome, gives a good feeling, and the song fits so good

[darkmyro]

lol im still watching this after a few weeks its awsome you should think about doing some actual machinama but i liked the idea behind it and the song is excedingly beautiful

[Galenmereth]

I have thought about it, but I'm not much of a director; I like filming and photographing people, real or not, when they go about things in their natural way, not when it's all set up.

[BlueNoiseTai]

Amazingly touching in such a way as a video game can be. :3 5 stars.

[Galenmereth]

Thank you very much! :)

[Stealthcode]

Lol great video beautifully made.

Watching people fly in and our of Dalaran was the best bit for me - and I'm like the one that runs up to fly out but then turns back to Dalaran as I suddenly forgot something. =D

[darkmyro]

makes me want to vist old world venders just to sell them something from time to time.i know i do in stormwind but i know the exodar vendors must be lonely almost no one goes there

[Zextify]

the guy on the green proto-drake at 2:27 made me lol.

[hybridpanda]

Hahahaha! didnt see that first time yeah thats brilliant haha

[ToobiusTV]

@Zextify Aye he just bounces all over your screen doesent he?

[ANDELE3025]

@Zextify Thats Floppy, grand grand grand uncle of Tim the whelp!

[americanidolw]

Brilliant.

[Galenmereth]

Thank you :)

[HellMoth95]

poor vendors..

[LazyJones1]

Kinda cool.

And as ecstasias said: Neat idea.

Five stars for originality.

[Greybox1989]

Well...it was interesting for about one minute, then it just went downhill.

2/5*

More of a waste of time than an entertaining video.

Not so great music either.

[gSuriV]

nice work, keep it up!

[XgusX]

Simple and great! Nice vid ^^

[DBDWestra]

Very creative, passionate and adorable. Thank you for making this video, dedicated to all our vendors from Azeroth and beyond. I think my most favorite Vendor is the Guns & Ammo Merchant Lady Kaja in Orgrimmar, who always been able to repair my gear for more than 5 years now!

[RandomPokes]

I would have loved for an Alliance angle as well (probably the poor weapon vendor guys across the street from the AH in SW). Regardless, this was lovely. Thank you for making it.

[Vlastik92]

Do you have low popularity server ? On my realm is at krassus landing around 30 ppls always and a lot more inside dalaran.

[thetroy69]

amazing song who sings it?

[Galenmereth]

It is called "I Don't Know" and is sung by Lisa Hannigan.

[ecstasias]

Hah, neat idea.

[Tyrael08]

It's called a JOB, remaining in a relatively same area doing a repetitive task is called a job. In my day vendors had to do all this and avoid getting killed by horde passing by the path all while yelling: Sloke!

But very awesome vid, I am very jealous of your creativity.

[Galenmereth]

I'd recommend replacing the feeling of being jealous with the feeling of being inspired in as many cases as possible. But thank you for your comment :)

[Miyh]

Creative idea + flawless execution. How rare. Thank you for sharing.

[Galenmereth]

And thank you for sharing your opinion of it.

[MehNameless]

haha the elf vender from 1:50 is dancing to the music

[Unholyxer]

wow, what a brilliant idea x), makes me wanna play wow!

[ChiWoWo]

A fine example of how simplicity can be beautiful.

[Galenmereth]

I really appreciate your comment; thank you!

[juzelle]

This's absolutely sublime! Bravo!

[TheSoulification]

Blizz posted this on twitter. Congrats!

[Galenmereth]

Yep, that's why it suddenly got a few views the last week or so :)

[kruiser1980]

I keep coming back to this a few times a day... makes me smile every time!

[unseemlywarrior]

So bloody simple.... loved every minute.

thank you :)

[Galenmereth]

Thank you! :)

[TheUnknownHarbingers]

All the flying mounts look like bugs in the sky..hehe

[dvklaveren]

Somehow the music and the speed timeframe reminds me of my first sim-days too. Makes me nostalgic. x)

[dvklaveren]

Absolutely brilliant. A nice study of using the speed-effect. I've been watching it and gained some inspiration myself. Thanks alot!

[Galenmereth]

Thank you for the kind words :)

[Weirdpsycotic]

Love the simplicity of your vid. And ofcourse Lisa hannigan!!!

[kruiser1980]

Great song choice, great idea, love the random green drake

[Galenmereth]

Thank you :)

And yeah, the green drake guy is hilarious.

[tavone97]

this video is so simple and yet so nice...I mean anyone of us could film stuff seen trough the vendor's eyes and then speed it up....but nobody thought about it... :)

[IllidanDAK]

Please go delete IRL.

Now.

[Galenmereth]

Anagram for "A Peeled Siege Troll". Nice one.

[MultiDude999]

2:30 - 2:47, green drake flies randomly in the bagground =P

[Galenmereth]

And that went on way longer than what you see in the video as well. In the uncut footage, he does that for eight minutes. The same player.

[Dothias]

haha i would normally hate something like this but the way its been done and promoted is just good and its exactly what it says on the tin haha love it, original aswell !

[Galenmereth]

The Apple-like title sure does hit the sweet spot, doesn't it?

Glad you liked it :)

[Ppeetteerriii]

Naww, now I started feel bad for the poor vendors standing there night and day.

[Sin4000]

Nice video

[ABloodsprayerProduct]

Very creative... Just brilliant idea. Thats really what makes me wanna watch machinima: Some alternative angles of the world. Just great job, loved it.

[Galenmereth]

Glad you enjoyed it :)

[DeBaucheryZ]

The guy at 2:18 is on fire Jesus Christ save him!!

[Galenmereth]

Maybe he has reactive armor that he can shed when temperatures rise to dangerous levels?

[prochax]

interesting really...

and creative ^^

congrats

[EowindMoonchild]

Lovely... Respect to our wonderful vendors!

[Karthoss]

great video, interesting to see things from "the other side" for once :)

but 1 question, isn't that guy at 3.11 a banker, which doesn't really make him a vendor :P

[Galenmereth]

It's true, he is technically a banker. However, since bankers sell bag space, they are also vendors ;)

[Askorvorn]

awesome song!

[GaronneSH]

Yeah, very cool Video. Thanks for it. Looks like quite some work to me. Very well done.

[Galenmereth]

Thank very much :)

[disgaeahour]

Why Orgrimmar is so empty? :S

[Galenmereth]

Because of the angle, you don't see all the people outside the bank and auction house. That spot is always lively though, but there are no vendors there. However, the tauren with the gun is actually right next to the auction house :)

[1waka2laka]

@disgaeahour

lol, contrary to popular belief, not all realms are mainly horde, just most of them

[Salibabua]

I really like this song!

[a1337haxor]

very nice kinda depressing whiling being funny at the same time, very well done

[Galenmereth]

Thank you

[RookWolf]

Lol @ the Outland vendors, so lonely out there in space.

[Galenmereth]

Very very few people there indeed. Poor vendors.

[noblekitty1]

lol poor poor thrallmar...noone there...

those sad venders

[drunkenburritto]

after 4:58 it sucks

[beefheartjoe]

@drunkenburritto lol

[Galenmereth]

Hehe, ain't it the truth sometimes

[skeetzo]

hahahaha omg! SOMEONE IN THRALLMAR!

[Pikestaff]

I think the music might have been the most endearing part. Very good choice! Loved the idea too =D

[Galenmereth]

Thank you. Lisa Hannigan is a great artist; get her CD or better, go to a concert if you can!

[fallendusk]

Really cool idea, I like it. :D

[sqb0]

hahaha. really nice work. love it. such a simple but great idea, bravo.

[Galenmereth]

Thank you

[IpQz]

Four minutes and fifty eight seconds well spent =D

[Galenmereth]

Thank you, glad to hear you enjoyed it!

[leizeQ]

really great video ... i always appreciate people with such unique ideas ... thx for sharing

[Galenmereth]

Thank you for sharing your opinion as well :)

[planeaddicted]

Nice job...love it!

[Galenmereth]

Thank you! :)

[TooMuchFreeTimeTv]

That was great :) I have newfound respect for those patient vendors, taking my junk and giving me sustenance.

[gnmhf]

Poor lonely Thrallmar vendor. :(

[Galenmereth]

Such is the fate of those in the shadow of the next big thing.

[gnmhf]

Sweet movie. I really like the idea of Time Lapse WoW movies. They're kinda relaxing, especially with this music. :D

[Galenmereth]

It´s really fascinating to see "life go by" in a virtual world :)

[Lattomat]

Time lapse <3

Altho, I prefer the real life ones. But timelapsing from the Dalaran emblem vendors is fun.

[Raubez]

wtf I though them just standing around was the intro

it's the whole fucking clip, waste of time

[Galenmereth]

I guess time-lapse doesn't ring any bells? :D

[zer0kewl]

haha
