Put up the latest update in my World of Warcraft vid series last night, this one focusing on Hellfire Peninsula. I'm particularly happy with the way this turned out; its likely among the best I've done so far. I pretty much nailed everything the way I wanted to, though Falcon Point (2:13 to 2:40) was originally shot at seven different angles because I couldn't settle on the right approach to best suit the music passage at that point. It wasn't until I decided to end the cut with contrasting Horde and Alliance tower architecture that I settled on the backward pan to sort of 'frame' the softer tail of the musical selection (composed by Michael Giacchino).

The first 15 seconds of blackness? Yeah, don't ask me about that one...the audio was such that I couldn't come up with suitable visual components that wouldn't lessen the impact of the opening image of the Dark Portal, so I just let it run dark.
