Into Mirkwood, a LotRO Machinima

Lunna's travels take her deep into the great forest of Mirkwood. Surrounded by evil and aching for just an ounce of sunshine, she remembers the Shire as she fights her way through the dark wood.

This film was made using footage from The Lord of the Rings Online. Music by Regina Spektor.

Wow Lunna, Arthurus here and this is incredible. A different type of feeling for lotro then what my video was. To totally different adventures, that was just epic. Beautiful movie Lunna.

@TheArthurus Thank you so much! I felt that a video about Mirkwood needed to feel dark, lonely, and filled with the longing for any brightness in the world. I used The Hobbit by Tolkien to inspire the movie, applying what Bilbo thought while in the wood to my own character.

Oh my god is this good!

What did you use to edit the video?

I have to admit it nearly bought a tear to my eye. Simply the best LotRO video that I've seen yet and I've seen some really good ones.

[LunnaTheBurg]

Thank you for the compliment!

I used Windows Movie Maker to edit the video...but I'm not crazy about the program. It has limited options and a few flaws that make editing the video difficult. The upside is it's free from Microsoft if you have Windows.

The song is "Field Below" by Regina Spektor

It is from her album, "Begin To Hope".

I.... it's so beautiful. *sniffle* It made me cry

Incredibly moving. Playing a Captain on Vilya, I'm reminded of what he was told in his level 45 class quest: Being called to service, most of our time must be spent away from the place we love. I have seen no more eloquent portrayal of that idea than this video. Well done. /bow
