WoW Moviewatch: Sin City Azeroth
Sin City Azeroth by Baron Soosdon is an old video. Originally released in 2007, this HD version was released by the good Baron in 2009. That means that kids born when he first created this video are now in kindergarten. The video's still awesome. It still looks amazing. It's a testament to the good Baron's skill and eye for image that Sin City Azeroth is so good. It feels a little choppy, but I took that as part of its composition; your mileage will vary, of course.

Baron Soosdon: "I will make a plot-line movie someday"
SugarChick at Warcraft Chicks had a nice chat with Baron Soosdon, the machinimaker (did I just make that term up?) who's put together such machinima classics as Sin City Azeroth and I'm So Sick. He talks about the best way to view his films (by downloading-- YouTube, while easy, just doesn't have the quality he calls for), where his name came from (a guild inside joke about his character's name and a Baron Geddon raid), and the way he puts his films together.He says that he's gotten a little bit of flak for not having a lot of traditional plots or scripts-- his Unlimited Escapism series, he says, will never have a plot to it, and he likes it that way. He also says, however, that he does plan to make a "plot-line movie" at some point, but he wants it to be extremely high quality, both in terms of filmmaking, writing, and voice actors. Soosdon's stuff is terrific even as disjointed as it is, but a more traditional plot-based film from him would definitely be interesting to see.But he says he's not giving up on the freeform stuff, and thank goodness for that. The Baron's definitely a one-of-a-kind machinimaker (there's that made-up word again), and it's cool to hear directly from the man himself.
WoW Moviewatch: NetherVale
Baron Soosdon has done it again. After the exquisite Sin City Azeroth and the trippy Unlimited Escapism, he has taken stunning visuals one step further. A player sent him modded files of Netherstorm and Stranglethorn Vale melded together into one big, purple, pulsating, crystalline jungle of psychedelic beauty and the Baron has filmed it for us.Don't bother looking for a plot or a PvP technique. This video is about two vastly different worlds colliding. And I'm glad they did.Now get back to finishing that music video for L70 Etc you've been slaving over, Baron. Your public awaits.Previously on WoW Moviewatch...
