WoW Moviewatch: Release me
Release me is an interesting bit of machinima. It's the work of Nagrandify, who isn't exactly new to moviemaking. I'll admit I'm not as familiar with her work as I'd like to be, but I'll be working to pick up my familiarity after enjoying this video. It's a music-based piece that breaks from the norm by focusing on a draenei and a human. The pairing is enjoyable, especially since it's not one you see very often.
I had trouble fully understanding the story of Release me. I definitely got the hint that there was some kind of romantic trouble, but the details were fairly obscure to me. The ending was a little strange, too. I guess the draenei was "released" to become a dragon, and thus toasted her ex-lover? I don't know, I could be trying to read too much into it.
I enjoyed Nagrandify's music choice. The song was interesting and seemed to suit the imagery pretty well. And even if the story of the video was a little obfuscated, the imagery was solid and intriguing. Great job!
