Unlimited Escapism Volume One

The "Unlimited Escapism" series from Baron Soosdon offers a wild, pulsating collage of images and sound set for the most part in the massively-multiplayer online game [i]World of Warcraft.[/i] The series shows off his pioneering use of MMO-based video capture and editing, model and map exports, animation editing, an agile team of collaborators, and the use of multiple game platforms and other sources of content. -- HEL "I got my idea for this movie quite a while ago. I wanted to make a machinima movie which would merge more than one game in one movie. I also wanted to make cool looking scenes - eye candy so to say. But I did not want to start making the film until I had enough stuff to edit and a good, fitting music for the background. Finally it all came together, this is the end result. This movie contains in-game footage as well as model/mapviewed stuff. I have mixed WoW with Unreal Tournament 2004, Final Fantasy VII (the game and Advent Children Movie), Wipeout 3 and the movie Animatrix: Last Flight Of The Osiris. Unlimited Escapism vol. 1 does not have a plot or anything, but a part of it sort of does. The scenes before the end credits are part of a WoW movie project which I scrapped. I wanted to put the best shots into good use before the files disappear in to the heaven of zeroes and ones :P Sorry, no HD version this time. Note! If you hate trance and the using of effects, this movie might not be for you. If possible, please download the movie instead of streaming. This movie is very visual in nature, and the stream pretty much screws up the visuality." -- Baron Soosdon, WarcraftMovies.com, http://www.warcraftmovies.com/movieview.php?id=37245
