The underground chase in 3-1 was great. I love the way you had he ceiling done so well even when the path split and turned you couldn't see any gaps. The second part was even better. The cliffs and the bridge part were really cool. I love the way you made the arches make that criss cross pattern over the really long bridge too. The music was great too! That was LOTR music at the beginning of part 2 was it not??

hey all, go vote for COTN on the main page poll! This'd probably help to make the project more popular :D

I'm downloading it now, but I thought I'd mention that your PM box is full. I couldn't respond to your PM to me, so I'll just CnP it here since I'm lazy.

---He asked me about the progress of IC2 btw---

I don't have any kind of timetable for IC2 yet since I haven't even begun any of the actual mapping yet. I've just been writing a (quite long actually) list of ideas over the last month, and I really want to make another IC map since my last one was all the way back in October.

I can honestly say this though: IC2 will be alot better than IC1 was, since I am much better now and the stuff I'm planning will be funny as hell.

Since Rise of Nekrix is going to be an expansion campaign, and many of my other projects are dead or dying, I may start working on it soon.

I am not one to normally go and just say good job , but in this case I think this deserves it.
Your skill at cinematics is awe inspiring, I am serious impressed with what you have done with it. Especially with that last one, with the incredible use of heights, and fear. It is absolutely frightening how much your skills gets better every time, and it started out pretty damn amazing. I fear that we will see the best serious story WC 3 cinematic that will be done ever on WC 3, unless of course you make another one or inspire someone else to acchieve this (No offense to Isaniteus cause you make great humorous cinematics). The use of cameras and angles, music, and just animations make this show that WC 3 has some things really going for it. I never knew Ghouls could actually look creepy instead of goofy.
Oh and Thomas needs more spotlight time, and to become the hero. The heroes journey, hero epic. I never even imagined that there would be an epic on WC 3, it still seems very strange.

Damn, part 3 was even better than part 2! The Terrains were f#$%ing flawless for starters.
The first half was very emotional and very well written, although it lacked a real flare and seemed to serve little more purpose than getting to part 2 honestly. More of the story should have appeared here, including revealing some of the Paladin's plans and where they will retreat to. Also, Thomas really should have had more than 2 lines, since (I think) he is the main character.
The Second half more than made up for the first half by being completely mindblowing in every concievable way! It had some of the best terrains I have ever seen, incredible action and terror, and very fitting LotR music since this had some of the same thematic elements and action sequences used by the Fellowship of the Ring Moria battle! The only thing missing was a powerful one-liner when the Sorc blew up the bridge like "You shall not pass" or something.

2 minor bugs: When the Archer tells the Sorc to blow up the bridge, we're looking at empty terrain for 10 seconds before a single ghoul reaches that area. I'd show the good guys for those 10 seconds instead of just nothingness.
--Also, after the good guys entered the cave at the end, it faded to black for about 30 seconds! This was way too long and for a while I though my computer froze up.

Lastly, I have never been great at serious scenes, but I will be putting alot of them into Rise of Nekrix. Insaniteus Cinematics 2, however, will just be jumbled up insanity and the plot will be the first casualty lol.

Hehe well I'm extremely glad to hear all of this, I don't know what to say =)

Well, there's something I want to tell you all. I have a dream, I dream of being part of an epic project just as "The Lord of the Rings". I dream of building up something that people will find mindblowing, and there I'll be able to tell myself "Hey Dan, see this thing people admire? Well you should be proud, 'cause you helped making it up". I have a true passion for art. I love to draw, I always listen to "musical" music, that makes you feel something deep inside. As I am writing these lines, I'm listening to that sad LotR theme (The breaking of the fellowship), it just inspires me. It helps me express myself in a way not much people use. I just hope that someday, I'll have my chance. I'll have the chance of working on something that'll be worldwide known, I know this may sound crazy, but hey, it's all about hope. I know it could be hard, considering the fact that english is not my native language (and I believe it shows at some parts of the movie), but matter what happens, I'll work hard to achieve my goal and maybe... maybe those simple D.V.L. letters will someday be a synonym for creativity, imagination and... hope =)

Thanks a lot, all of you out there, for the support. I believe that's what makes me

First of all this movie is badass no doubt. Music and everything is timed perfectly. I almost cried :D But there is one thing... through seeing this lord of the rings came to mind, of course the music but also alot of the scenes. Like when they get surrounded by ghouls(in LOTR its orcs) when women destroys bridge( like gandalf stoping the dragon) Also when the wizard is missing(like when gandalf was missing) also when the beast was chasing them in the cave(hobbits gandalf, and knights running for demon guy.) I have no doubt in my mind when I say your movie is the best for Wc3. I was wondering if these scenes were suppose to be like Lord of the Rings? Well anyways I applaud you for the great terrain, music, great times to change music. Awesome camera uses. KEEP UP THE BADASS WORK.
