If you like the following:

BG videos
Mad crazy epic gear v. scrubs
Short fights only
Fair fights only
Stock UI's
Cluttered UI's
...then this is not the video for you. Move on. This movie was made for my own education and for Ravenholdt, b/c I like this server and most of the people on it are ok people.

Looks like WCM will take til tomorrow to approve it, so here's the direct link for download and streaming (streaming sucks, get a grip, I put a few days worth of work into this, the least you can do is spend a minute or two and download some decent quality):

All world pvp, all the time.
All fights at least have something interesting in them, something out of the ordinary but if you've watched some actually good pvp videos then you've seen all this before. Nothing new here. Mistakes galore on both sides.
Music is Scandinavian club/dance music with a bit of hip-hop stuff and some stunning female vocals from hot Swedish girl Anna Nordell. Credits at end.
Normally I'd include all outtakes, but lately I just delete anything immediately that's not obviously a very interesting fight, and since the stock UI will record/compress on Macs post-2.3, this happens quickly and easily with a few hotkeys.
I'm aware that I'm not very good at pvp.
Editing is kinda sparse with a barrel roll, some zooms and mostly just stock viewpoint.
First time using a Mac to record with.
First time using Final Cut Express to edit with, which was really the point of this, to learn the program for a big upcoming PvE project.

After reading the shaman forum today and all the 2.4 hatred, I'm in doubt if that last fight is just kicking a class that's down right now... but oh, well. It was exciting as all hell for me, not every day you take on someone +5 levels on you.
The commentary is hard to read, but this editing has gone on way too long anyway. If you really care, pause the video.

If you like cinematic, minimalistic UI's and close, sometimes long fights, then you just might enjoy this. My aim was to learn and entertain, and keep it short & simple so I can do it again, quicker, easier and more often if the footage presents itself.

Coldbear,

Nice work! I enjoyed the music a lot. I hope your bigger project works out and I look forward to seeing it.
