WoW Moviewatch: The Black Prince of Veiled Stair
I have absolutely no idea how this slipped under my nose for so long, but the above video is in fact exactly what you think it should be, and it's amazing. The Black Prince of Veiled Stair was put together by Nan the Mistweaver and features vocals deftly delivered by Youtube parody artist Kavo. As always, Nan's video work is excellent here, capturing the story being told with appropriately flashy cuts and special effects that complement without being too overwhelming. The vocals are amazing -- the lyrics were apparently the combined effort of Kavo and Pennygearaxe, and match the original song syllable for syllable. I don't remember the first time I heard this particular idea for a parody being bandied about, but I'm beyond happy to see it come to life like this. Check out the video and while you're at it, head to both Nan the Mistweaver's channel for more machnima, or Kavo's channel for more excellent parody work. Interested in the wide world of machinima?

WoW Moviewatch: The Phantom of the Battlegrounds
It's been a little while since a machinima made me sit back and go "Whoah." That's exactly what The Phantom of the Battlegrounds did. Between some incredible animation and jaw-dropping vocals, The Phantom of the Battlegrounds is so good that it literally made Anne Stickney and Sarah Pine simply say, "omg." If you're not familiar with the original song, feel free to bone up on it first. This rendition by Kavo and Letomi (with this fantastic video by Rogahar) could darn near go toe-to-toe with the original. Seriously, if you only see one WoW video this year... this should probably be it. Interested in the wide world of machinima? We have new movies every weekday here on WoW Moviewatch!
