WoW Moviewatch: Diplomats

By Michael Gray

Diplomats is an amazing first machinima by Cody Bonds. It's the story of a diplomatic envoy from Stormwind who seeks out the Ironforge diplomat to get the dwarven opinion about relations with the Horde. What she discovers from the dwarven advisor horrifies the Stormwind envoy, but absolutely delighted me.

I kept looking for Star Wars references in the video, and think I spotted at least a few. The story is quick and amusing, and the voice acting is very well done. Cody definitely has a great flair for his comedy, and I'm pretty sure future work is going to be completely astounding. This is absolutely one hell of a first machinima, and Cody should be proud of the work he's done. This is an incredibly smooth video. My favorite was the action sequence of an airborn attack on Orgrimmar. Great stuff.
