Ok here we go!
It's been a long month for me, Johan Vågstedt, trying to get this movie ready in time for all of you to see it. Now it's done, just before the limit, and exactly 10 minutes long.
I hope you will all enjoy it, and understand the effort put into it.
~Thord (Mike Dunahee) is a battle weary soldier who had the missfortune of being sent to Northrend with Arthas Menethil in his youth. There the unruly prince made not just himself infamous, but his unsuspecting men aswell. Therefore the veteran, Thord, had to settle for a post in Menethil Harbour when he returned from the land of the midnight sun, even though the title Grand Marshal was rightfully his. Now his day spans from cleansing the marsh from bewildered forsaken, or orcish scouts and saying goodbye to soldiers far younger than himself. One day he crosses paths with a young dying soldier named Caldor (Drew Syring) who completely changes the grumpy old commander's perspective.~
You will notice that there are some custom animations in it. This is something entirely new to me and it has been a great learning experience working with it. I would like to thank James Dunlop, aka Macky, who made that possible and helped me with the animations. Also I would like to thank Nathan Allen Pinard for the beautiful original soundtrack. He made a score that's glorious and dark sometimes and light and enjoyable sometimes. Just the contrast I was going for. I can listen to the soundtrack for hours.
Last but definatly not least, my thanks goes out to Glenn X Govan, aka Caruu, who did such an amazing job with the sound desing that when I saw the final movie, with the music, sfx and everything, it felt like a new movie. You three all did amazing work with this movie and you should be very proud.
Nathan has been so kind to let all of you listen to the soundtrack. It can be downloaded here: http://www.nathanallenpinard.com/music/T...

Goose Bumps.
YOU DID A GOOD JOB!
Amazing! Just exelent work. Congratulations with the fourth place.. Even though I think it deserves first place.
oh and btw how did you get the Wotlk animations?
Selama Ashal'anore actaully means "justice for our people" and it is said by some boss in Tempest Keep if I'm not misstaken. Just thought I'd use Thallassian since Undeads know it :D and thanks for the kind words
congrats for the fourth place even tough i think that you should be at first..and i know that "salama ashalanore" thing but i cant remember from where Oo
isnt fair competition for a ametaiur like me
ya i dont believe how you did some of this ill be ticked if you dont win anything lol
I've watched this video like over and over again and i was always left speechless. I'm still speechless, i 'm just bringing it up this time :P
AKA: ur video was so awesome i forgot i could talk!
RE AKA: Which means totally awesome
another good movie!
But why did you have to make him naked at the end? lol
I dont like one thing with this :P The models are from wotlk alpha how u got it?
Amazing! Excellent!! Brilliant!!! WOW!!!!
I loved it! The special effects where amesome.
where did u get those models from?
holy .... /clap
Northerend is such a healthy place for machinema
yeah, Caldor is actually not a blood elf, I just used that model to represent a younger human :)
Very awesome visuals, though that tuskar creeped me out a bit. Fantastic music and sound design, too! I found it a bit confusing sometimes, especially with Caldor changing races in his flashback, but the voice acting carried the story well.
That movie turned out excellent. Nice job Johan!
It was hard to score, but turned out better than I expected in 4 days.
Wow!
Those animations and effects blew me away! I hope I can do that one day!
heres firebolt, knew it was coming :D
FUCKING AMAZING!!!! TOP3!
Thanks for all the kind words people. :)
how do u get mapviewer watch wotlk places?
Woahh that was epic ! Many many beautiful scenes and editing ideas !! Great movie.
Holy crap... You came a long way from your first movie, Menethil.
oh my fricking god!
It can't get better than that!
One Word....Epic.
This was sensational, emotional and over all powerful. Even spots that made me grin and cringe. Aside from the odd speed movements that would only be noticed as odd for there scale, it was perfect.
Bravo!
I have no clue how you managed to do those 10 minutes in just 5 weeks. It's almost frightening how well executed it was.
wow.............
just amazing
There are few words that do justice to something like this. Goosebumps is one of them :) Great job!
