It’s about time to reveal a secret...

Many years ago I spoke with an old man...
When he was young, he said, he travelled all around Tyria.
He worked for a company who made maps, so he needed to go to the strangest places to explore and find his way through unrivalled areas.
Once he told me a story....

“I was on the road for many days, I had walked through deserts, forests, swaps for many days and still the road...well it wasn’t really a road
but I called it a road...was going on.
”Do I ever get back to my wife” I thought....
But then I saw somewhere in the distance some sort of Island.
I went to it, and saw the big statue of our God Balthasar.
Not very special you think,Tyria is full of it?
Well this one was different.
It had to be very old because I was the first human who came there. And ... it was on fire.
“how could something old like that burn?” I asked myself...

"I walked to the Island but then suddenly many very big, burning Dragons appeared out of nowhere.
Guess what I did? I ran for my life...!"

This is what the old man told me.
Now you can believe him or not, but I believed him.
And why do I tell you this today?
Why did I wait to reveal his secret?
“Promis me Elowine that, when you go there you go with friend who you can trust, who will fight for your life...”

On 24 November 2006 our guild made a miniseries about Rotscale.
Since we received such positive feedback I want to share it to everybody her as well.

Is kool. It does need just a tad bit of work though

Jumping Is Uselss · Jan 09, 2008, 10:05 PM // 22:05

The music killed it for me

That was a risk I took with the music chooses I made. I know a lot of gw-players are more into heavy metal, can't please everyone

I tried to make the story more living using the music, to carry out some way of emotion. To bad it didn't work out for you, thanks for watching and your message anyway !

Ah you noticed the typos too :P I don't have the original recording any more so I won't make another version. Will make sure I watch those minor things if I make another piece. Thanks for watching!

I liked it, I didn't really like the music in the 2nd two videos, but I really liked it in the first. I like your style of video, if not your taste in music.

stouda01 · Jan 10, 2008, 08:58 AM // 08:58

hmmmm...running around, searing cinematic wow really good job

Gonzo · Jan 10, 2008, 03:31 PM // 15:31

I like it Elowine

Good job

I liked the whole series, although the music when fighting rotscale didnt quite suit my taste, aint the into Heavy Metal but i think sth harder would have fitted better other than that very nice

I'm gunna go get some "egs" for my mother, BRB.

Too be honest, the film editing is done well 7.5 on that, music is fitting... about 25% of the time so 2.5 on that. The over all story and how it themes GW is a nice 8.5 though. The polishing is about a 1.5, so many typos.... And you could've used some better RP words such as "companions" instead of friends.

How ever I did enjoy most of the techno tracks, especially the one that kicks in on episode 3 around 3:05. Could you give me the artist/name?

Operative 14 · Jan 11, 2008, 01:41 AM // 01:41

Very well done, I actually thought you music choice was pretty fitting throughout the video. The only thing I found a bit odd in that regard was the conversation when your stalker was being killed (my condolances by the way

).

The only negative I noticed were the typos, and it sounds as though you noticed them as well.

Thanks for that !
I'm indeed a bit embarrassed about those typos. Since English isn't my native language I use simple words like friends instead of companions.
I'm not really a writer either

so maybe I ask a real writer to help me next time

I did ask some English friends to view the first version and look for typos, guess they missed some. (or just tried to be nice...)

That track is a remix by DHT. 'Titanic Techno Remix'
The credits at the end of episode 3 contain all the music titles I used.

I enjoyed it. Spotted some typo's, but you're already aware of that. Keep it up!

Would like to see more in the future

-- edit

Just saw the third episode. There's a scene where you wave your family's goodbye, but I thought you've never seen your family again since the charr invasion?

Shadow Kurd · Jan 13, 2008, 12:13 AM // 00:13

Great job, very nice

SPIRIT OF THE SEA · Jan 17, 2008, 10:56 PM // 22:56

Very well put toghother. I enjoyed it

mr_groovy · Jan 17, 2008, 11:29 PM // 23:29

Nice, but wanding him to death?

schelle espe · Jan 18, 2008, 09:45 PM // 21:45

very nice

and i do like the music, it realy fits whith the 'story' and movie.
(altho i think there's nothing like a good heavy metal song, but that just woulden't fit here

)

English Warrior · Jan 18, 2008, 10:55 PM // 22:55

Brought a tear too my eye why isnt that on tele yet?

Lykan · Jan 29, 2008, 09:15 AM // 09:15

Nice camera work and i like the movment thru the valleys and stuff.
The plot was a bit ropey, why did the pet have to die and why did your ele become a mesmer?

Otherwise well done
