Chilled Escapism (04:49)

I got some suggestions to make a (musically) slower paced UE-styled video quite a long ago, around the releases of UEv2 and v3. Making the video would be the easy part, finding the correct song was an other thing.

While browsing through my mp3 collection, I found this gem from 2005, "Out of Asia (chillout mix)" by Electroheadz. This song was the correct style and correct length. As usual I had other candidates for the soundtrack, but for this movie Out of Asia won the race.

I wanna add that on this video there is not a single WoW model viewer scene, everything is done with good old in-game filming.

As for the visual effects, I created an effect chain consisting of this and that. Just a bit more clearly put, every scene uses the same set of effects. Their amount was modified from scene to scene just to make sure that things are not too light or dark.

Now I really, really should get started on my machinima for the Worldvide Invitational contest.
