CINEMATIC TRAILER RELEASED!

The Dawn of Chaos: Cinematic Trailer

Realm Design is proud to present its very first trailer! This is the opening credits scene from DoC, conceptualized, designed, and 'filmed' by John Drake himself. The words are mine, the voice is Samurai Panda although not likely the final version, and the encoding of the file was by XXaran Alamas, who also captured and edited it.
What you're seeing is Stormwind City, the capital of Azeroth. The scene is intentionally quiet and foreboding, so don't expect a lot of action right off the hop. As the first cinematic the player encounters we're going for a classy, subdued hello before we get too crashy and bashy.
Make sure you watch closely to see all the new terrain features and character models unique to DoC. Well, that might be difficult really... I've got it. Watch closely to see if you can spot the two or three lonely little things that AREN'T made by us.
That should keep you paying attention.
So, get downloadin'! We're sitting here waiting to hear what you think!

I enjoyed writing it... just because doing over-the-top dramatic fantasy monologue is so entertaining.

Thanks for the feedback so far guys! I'd also like to add for anyone viewing the YouTube version that I recommend using fullscreen mode so there is less contrast between the video and the white background so it shows up better.

Glad you guys liked it, I'm rather proud of the compositing I did. Making these videos is great fun :D

Psst, the lampposts arn't made by RD. Don't tell anybody.

Make sure you post that on all three forums, Pheo.
Don't want anyone to miss it.

Nah, I recommend to download the full version of the trailer, it worth it :)

We agree completely. And thank you

This is awesome. Though I can't see how 4-5 mins = 60-70 mbs...
Well it was nice. Burning stuff etc. It was pretty good timing as well

Indeed.

And the large filesize is probably due to not having much compression.

You don't want to know the horrors Xaran went through to compress it as much as it is.
In fact, neither do I. So I don't actually know. I think John tried to tell me but I plugged my ears and hummed.

It can't be that compressed, the filesize is too large in comparison to the video quality and size to have high compression.
