Starcraft 2 Video Contest 2010 EU Entry

This was the video myself and Almighty Farseer produced for the 2010 Starcraft 2 Video Contest EU side. It didn't win any prizes.
---
Description:
A Starcraft 2 machinima that takes place right as the story of Starcraft 2 kicks off. With the Zerg devastating Mar Sara and its neighbouring planets causing billions of casualties. With little effort to evacuate the colonies a Dominion Commander discusses the problems on the planet and how to tackle the threat. Their radical plans are interrupted by a single ghost.

---
Well the contest is over, and I was blown out of the water by the winners. Some really good videos. I couldn't compete against the custom animation and use of map editor/cutscenes, but I achieved close to what I was hoping out of directing it, and it was fun to try something different.

Thank you to the voice actors who helped me with this video, you were all excellent, sorry I didn't pull through for you guys :(
Thanks to Jesse Cox, Daniel Hahn, Caleb Carroll, and of course to my co-director Andrew Worthy (Almighty Farseer)

I'm hoping I can continue making starcraft videos like this, maybe turn this into something of a series once I learn how to use the map editor well.

it would have been better if you changed the decal on the marines to the dominion shield

[Arksimon2k]

@Gurgle528sevrules1 Yeah, but this was filmed back in the beta not using the map editor program or anything. Besides I don't even have that decal now, let alone then. But I agree it would have been nice :)

Was that one guy voiced by Jesse Cox?

[Arksimon2k]

@damaldazzar Yeah :)

[TheStarcraftJACKAL]

Since when did Marines start owning Battlecruisers??

[Arksimon2k]

@TheStarcraftJACKAL Raynor started the trend man. Anyway he's meant to be a commander, there's no special model for him :P

[Rickey985]

[Arksimon2k]

@Rickey985 Yeah :)

i saw the changelings at 3:50

I love how no one cared about the terrans who got overunn.

[dragonlordess1]

a nuke really wouldn't have done much good anyways if you think about it. most zerg are meant to die and be replace almost instantly. also i think the zerg are pretty much immune to radiation so only the initial heat of the blast would do anything.

[mihai000000]

that marrine at 2:12 should've yelled: ZERG RUSH !!!

[phantomking128]

@yondiame50000 because they suck at starcraft :P

[KBendix]

Ghost are op... And I like it. I'm terran. :p

[ArckanDrakonis1]

[Gurgle528sevrules1]

@Arksimon2k the dominion shield is built into the editor :P right click a unit, click textures then select Dominion Shield under decal :P
