Wow. Excellent job. The music was spot on for that video. Mind sharing the score with everyone? That video really leaves you wanting more. Some companies need to take note of talent like that.

Anet needs to hire you. Your movie simply beats their trailers.

I never knew that the GW story was so dramatic.

very very nice work!! What few little errors there are are easily overshadowed by the quality and the pace.

If you haven't thought about a career in film you should. Do not let this creativity fall to the wayside.

I enjoyed this very much. Thanks for sharing!

For all those asking, I think the most of the music in the video comes from X Ray Dog's "Here Comes the King". Hans-zimmer.com linked to it awhile back.

I'm curious, it's been awhile since I was in pre-sear but how did you get that shot of the gates on the bridge? That's on the farside of the lake, right? I realize that I've always neglected to explore that area after the brief arena battle.

All credits go to Maathyas for making the movie. I'm a messenger..

New mirrors added in the first post and part of the music is from the trailer for Narnia. Enjoy..

Yes it is on the far side of the bridge. You can only get there during the Pre-Searing PvP. I was attempting the PvP, when I decided to go explore and thats when I sorta stumbled on the arch-way. Captured it all on the first try Didn't win the PvP match though - was lvl 3 I think LOL!

Thanks for all your kind words, advice and correction. Feedback is most valuable and each is very precious to me and the guild. /deepbow

I work in the film industry and I have to say I'm impressed. Considering you had to work backwards to an existing score, you're editing is excellent. I think Anet should supply you with hi res footage, a generous monetary offer and let you do the trailers. Great job.

Seriously, this video would hook and capture more attention of new players than the videos they have on the guildwars site. I showed thsi video to 2 gusy i work with today and they had seen al lthe others. after seeing that they are both goign to go buy gw this afternoon after work.

Just wanted to add one more "Well done!" to the chorus already here.

ANet could certainly take notes as this movie evokes the feeling I think they wanted for the Chapter 1 storyline, but never truly got.

That was excellent. The editing and music selection was top notch. Had to go back to the news announcement on the front page and add that... great job.

Found where some of the music is from, going to by the OST to it
I'm linking to this post for some people I'm trying to get to try GW.
Again very well done. Stirred some emotions up within me too.

By far the biggest blockbuster coming to theatres this summer! What's it rated?

The running scene right at the end of the credits is a nice touch too, bravo!

This was tremendous! Gorgeous work! Very well done . I'll be using it to hook a few friends who've been on the fence about picking up GW. I'm sure this'll nudge them into picking it up soon, hehe. Thanks for sharing .

It was very well done and I thoroughly enjoyed watching it. Looking forward to when you realease the full movie.

To those saying ANet should put this up on there website I have bad news - without getting permission they can't. Because the movie uses music taken from copyrighted sources, ANet can't touch the movie without first getting permission from the copyright holders of the music to put the movie on their site.

The other alternative is to completely strip the current music from the movie and implement their own music, this way the only copyright issue they need to deal with is the OP who created the movie.

As for using it as the intro to GW. I'm not sure, as it does spoil some of the storyline, unlike what the ANet intro does. However, this video would be remarkable as a sales-pitch/demo to the whole game rather than a storyline intro (which is what the current ANet into is, a storyline intro).
