I'm reading book 1 of fq right now for school, and the wonderful visual text made me want to find some renderings of it in visual mediums. This is very cool! We should not be so quick to judge the quality. Of course it's not hollywood cgi, but it is a worthy effort. I love your Archimago! I only wish you had attempted Errour's greusome (awesome) death scene. That was my favorite part.
i appreciate that, and it's funny u mention that scene because i did actually attempt to show it. However, I had an incredibly difficult time with the kinetics of the head falling, and after all those woes I didn't even try to make little mini-errors
this poem is a celebration of english liberty, english poetry and english nationalism... the crucial english rennaisance ...you will appreciate that, as an englishman, i am slightly offended by the macho, fundamentalist moronic mid-west interpretation - turning our great national elizabethan epic into a low-rent american cartoon.
sorry, mily - i wasn't being rude...i like your video and i hope it encourages people to read spenser. i'm also sorry if my post sounded unpleasant - it was meant as an ironic comment...
To answer some questions before they are asked. This animation was very limited in its resources, which in turn made it's ability to stick strictly to the text of Spenser very difficult. As a resolution, the opening statement is "Based on Edmund Spenser's Epic Poem" This video is to help those unaware of Faerie Queene shake whatever misconceptions they have and want to learn more about what it is truly about. This video is not a study guide.
That 5 minute rendition of Canto 1 took me two months to rig and render. I would have loved to done a quick overview of all of book 1, but I just don't have the time...and when I work on these animation projects I never get a chance to turn off my computer, I'm afraid it's gonna melt. But, I hope you were able to join this brief glimpse of "Faerie Lond" (that's not a typo).
great job, well done :D

Great stuff! Love the dialogue, captures essence of the best of the thing without bogging us down in detail and confusion

Not bad, looks like the dialog was taken from Mary Macleod's Stories from the Faerie Queene

No, actually I wrote the dialogue myself, I'm curious to this MacLeod story though. Is it someone's interpretation of the poem?

Darn, it looks like you used some expensive software for this.
