This time around, Justin Gedzus took what would normally be an ordinary exploration video and added a unique twist to it. WotLK - WTF!? was designed to look like a travel journal, with notes entered at various locations as the traveler searched for someone. In the end, not only did the fearless explorer find what he was looking for, but was treated to breathtaking views while he did it!

The Northrend environment is truly exciting to me, a more natural fantasy-scape is easier to immerse yourself in then the foreign setting of Outland.
I can feel the desperation and cold, and I am genuinely excited for the expansion pack now. Blizzard has really outdone itself here, the environment is truly stunning.
I look forward to role-playing, exploring and reputation building within the new terrain. (And earning the corresponding achievements)

Amazing video, but the modern music from the 2nd half of the movie ruins all the Northrend Warcraft like mood.

Flanders - Behind (Callea Club Mix)
I looked it up right after I saw this vid. Sadly Itunes didn't have it so I had to "attain" it through google. Great song.

cool vid.
It also showed a couple others he did.
I liked the one about global warming, except when you read the title of the movie and the captions. 10 years is not 3650 days! Say hello to at least 2 leap years in there depending on when you started the count.
Sorry off-topic.

Was pretty decent, except the maker doesn't really seem to know what makes a captivating shot..Here it seems like everything of interest is filmed in the most uninteresting way.

If you have some better idea please share. Movie was one of the first in it's genre and was produced in just 5 days due to a time lack. :)

Okay. Opening sequence is pretty neat, save for when you start doing the Fast Forward-> Slow Down thing and end up in a few silly positions in which you have to scroll slowly. The shot at 2:57 is not interesting, composition wise, since everything is so far away. 3:00 to 3:08 you pan to neat stuff using the fast forward technique, but you don't really give us time to look at it or get in much closer.
3:48 had some cool architectural happenings but you sorta skipped over that, too. I guess the reason for that is that there is no time for it. 4:55 is a good shot because it promotes the feeling of how vast and shear the cliffs are. Entering this nifty place at 5:29 you're practically saying "Ta-da!" but then quickly spin out of that one.
Same things happens around 6:20. I like the waterfall drop around 7:05. Nothing going on from 7:26 to about 7:35, following those little floating rune things would have been cool. The Warsong area does look cool but you zoom away from that, too! The area afterwards is done well because you can make out a lot of the details and get the entertaining effect of the lighthouses.
At 7:50ish you need to slow down and get a good view of that place. You employ a lot of camera views which have sprawling backgrounds behind them, and here is where it can be put to use; all of the floating debree is captivating, but you go downwards to the base of The Nexus.
Wargh! 8:23 we get this awesome looking tree and then you zip away and don't zoom out from it and show the landscape surrounding it which is pretty interesting in my opinion. From late into eight minutes and on into nine minutes, I do like the trail you follow.
Anyways. Overall a nifty film, focus is just put on weird places and not enough in others.

I also don't agree with the music in the latter half of the video, but the Northrend scenery is absolutely gorgeous. So many different areas, and they're all totally different from the ruined world of Outland.
I'm excited to explore this.. and the draw distance seems to be up too!

The dance song in the middle of the movie is called "Behind" by Flanders. You can find a video of the song on YouTube, specifically the Callea Club Mix.
