The top winners of Warcraft Movies' Fabled Few continue to impress. First place in the drama category went to Dopefish for this video that pushes the boundaries of what you've seen before in WoW Machinima. No voice over, no text and no moving video. This entire tale is told using still images. And it's one of the best you'll see this year.
Budding machinimists often forget how important music and sound effects are to telling the story. Dopefish challenged himself by using only those two elements on his soundtrack. Add to that the innovative use of screenshots and you get a film that weaves a spell that draws you in. And isn't that what a good story should do?
Tomorrow, we'll be spotlighting the Grand Prize winner.

This is well done, but it's a story about an dumb ass who can't see trouble right in front of his eyes.

aesthetically pleasing and the score was really interesting, kept the movie alive and mysterious, but as #2 says, the storyline definitely was lacking a little bit

I don't think it needs a story, it's a collection of visions and nightmares

The first Chinese Character, Ming, means command, desteny, or life in a spiritual rather than physical sense. I assume the ambiguity was intentional. The charm was labeled Ming Bao, or Treasure of Life.
The second, Kao, means test or a life trial.
The last Sheng, means life in a more physical sense than Ming.

That was stunning. I loved it, more than most machinima I've ever seen.
