Earlier this year I got pretty bored and decided to do something creative in my spare time. I've been wanting to do a fight scene for a while and decided to develop a story using World of Warcraft. Animation is what I do and I decided to use my skills in making something.
This is only the second personal creative work I've ever posted so I'm a bit nervous about it. The first being an image I painted years ago which...um... we don't talk about. :) It's a bit nerve-wracking to post creative work for others to judge.
I've thought about making this a series but I'm faced with an impending layoff so my future is unclear. If I get a positive reaction I'm sure I'll be working on something else in the future.

update December 29, 2008
First off I'd like to thank all of you for all of the compliments and even the criticisms. I set out to try and make something I think would be cool and hoped others would think so too. Although I can't possibly reply to all the emails and comments posted I do read it all,trying to anyway, hehe. I definitely appreciate the kind words.
About the music, it wasn't something I choose at random but an element that I consider to be just as important as the models, lighting, animations,...etc. It was the driving force for the pace and the inspiration for the story. With the feedback I've gotten consider your voices heard and it'll be something I take into account in the future. I still think I made the right decision and it's not something I'm going to go back and change so lets agree that we disagree. :)

update November 1, 2009
Hey everyone, I thought I'd give an update since I still get plenty of people asking about future videos. Currently I don't have any plans to continue with The Craft of War. I've been delaying letting people know this because I didn't want to disappoint. I had thought people would forget about BLIND after a while but there seems to be a steady stream of new WoW players that see the video and ask about a continuation. Why won't I continue? It has to do with me being laid off from work earlier this year. I had to focus on finding a job so I quit WoW because, I'm sure you would agree, playing WoW takes up a lot of time, lol. Since my forced break from WoW I've lost my interest in playing although I still visit the WoW blogs and am still part of the officers mailing list for my guild. Maybe I'll find something that'll motivate me to play again. :) I think I'd have to start playing again in order to be motivated to make more The Craft of War videos.
Even though I may not continue with TCoW I still plan on making more animated videos. Instead of being based on WoW I have some original concepts that I think will be totally awesome. Also, if you want to see more of my work you'll have to pick up future id Software games as I'll have a hand in their development. :) I won't mention my past work because I continue to improve. My past animations won't compare to my future stuff. Also, why should I mention games for a company that laid me off?! AM I RIGHT?!?! LOL!
Thanks,

"I Love You" in different Geek Languages.
Because my pronunciation was wrong for Toki Pona, I patched this vid to v1.1.

"I Love You" in different Geek Languages.
Because my pronunciation was wrong for Toki Pona, I patched this vid to v1.1.
http://geeklovesongs.com
LYRICS:
So many ways to say "I Love You"
In different languages across the land.
You haven't heard them all so I'll tell you
As only as a true geek can.
"Ich Liebe Dich" is german geeky for their boardgames
In Latin (and Italian) it is "Te amo"
"mi olin e sina" is the phrase in Toki Pona,
"Mi amas vin" in Esperanto
"Linnon am meleth vin"
In Sindarin means "I sing because I love you"
"Ag EE OO P" is what you type.
For Alliance and the Horde to talk to.
To stick with Elvish we have "Tye mela'ne"
Yet another language that Tolkien made.
"Usstan ssinssrigg ilta" spoken in Drowish
A DnD type of elf you played.
"I Love You, I would date with you", by Tatewaki Kuno
Not a different language, but it's good enough
"hato daisuki" is japanese but geeky cuz
Otakus really love their weird stuff.
"Eep Op Ork Ah Ah"'
From saturday morning cartoons
"Ie ovele ouye" too,
From way back when I was in grade 2.
"Wani ra yana ro aisha" in Vulcan
In Klingon it's "qaparHa" which sorta sounds like a threat
"I-jol au" is Romulan but not exactly canon
In case we make the fanboys upset.
"Ni kar'tayli gar darasuum" is Mandalorian
In another galaxy, long gone by
If you speak in Huttese you say "Uma ji muna"
On Dagobah it's, "Love you, do I"
'10 Print "I love you" 20 Goto 10'
My first program, as a child
['I pointer method love parameter you' - syntax not accepted in this desc]
I bet your hormones are going wild.
"U can has love, k thx bai"
I display lolcat finery.
"I Less Than Three U" AND....
0110100101101100011011110111011001100101 011110010110111101110101
I love you in binary!
