Directors note: Hey everyone! In early 2014, friends of mine decided to start up a World of Warcraft RPG game. Having never played any table top DND games before, I immediately signed up and when the time came to vote for a DM, I was voluntold. Despite the fact that I knew nothing about being a DM, they chose me as I’m quite well versed in Warcrafts lore. As a story writer, I was excited to take on this challenge and almost two years later, the campaign is still going strong. As a machinima writer and director who works closely with Mushanga, I proposed the idea of creating a ‘cinematic’ for the finale of their current chapter. Despite the fact the name of the campaign was ‘The Hunt for Hellscream’, the players were no longer concerned with actually finding Hellscream and I decided to make Grom a random elite boss to bring their current chapter to a close. The actual fight happened during a game session and the end cinematic was partially scripted(though they didn’t know what was to happen). There was never going to be a chance for them to kill Grom Hellscream (considering his stats were far superior to theirs) but he did give them one hell of a fight where death was a very likely possibility (despite the scripted end cinematic). Player NPC’s that they met earlier on in the campaign appeared to help the ‘Heroes’ to give them a better chance against the dozens of rampaging Warsongs.
I hope you guys enjoy these two cutscenes (even if they may make very little sense as I’ve left out the majority of the story) It was never originally intended to serve as a stand-alone machinima with a flowing story arc but it turned out to be a fun ‘side project’ we took on following our completion of our Second Place Blizzcon Entry.
Music featured from the Pirates of the Caribbean soundtrack, of which we own absolutely nothing of course.
Machinima by Mushanga.
Directed, Written and Voiced by Jesse O'Connor.

The Sore Loser tells another story of Jimmy Togglewrench. This time he manages to get himself sorely beaten by one of Goldshire's best Hearthstone players. However, Jimmy doesn't take his defeat lightly and vows to strike back later that night...
Special thanks to Blizzard Entertainment and the various voice actors for their continued help and support!
Road of War gives you a glimpse into the origins of the Orcish Horde.
From their inception on the distant world of Draenor, through the Dark Portal into Azeroth up to the steps of Orgrimmar as both Alliance and Horde prepare to face off with the forces of Garrosh Hellscream. Is the Horde forever damned to walk the road of war, or is there a chance they can be redeemed?

For this project I created the machinima visuals, added sound effects, vocals, music and finally mixed it all down.
This is my machinima musicvideo set to the song "Melanie" by Toto. I have dedicated this video, in part, to the support of Mike Porcaro, Toto's bass player. He has been diagnosed with ALS (Lou Ghering's disease) and the band has recently started touring again to raise funds and support him. If you wish to know more of this disease or make a donation you can visit www.als.org.
In dit korte filmpje gaan Steven en Dennis onderweg door WoW om bij de Mediamarkt en het launchevent te komen. Helaas is met Cataclysm de wereld behoorlijk veranderd, en wordt het de twee niet makkelijk gemaakt.
NOTE TO ALL NON-DUTCHIES: I made this machinima for Gamekings, a popular Dutch TV program on gaming. As such, you probably won't get most of the movie. I have added english subtitles for those interested. Enjoy!
Special thanks to Jesse Cox and Rawrbug for providing the voice acting!
After the Lich King's defeat, Tirion Fordring needs another job.
Thanks to Gnomish engineering, he now has it!
This short movie shows Jimmy (of "Wish upon a Gnome" fame), trying to romance a pretty ladygnome. However, when a muscular Draenei, decked out in epics makes his appearance, things don't work out the way Jimmy intended...
BIg shoutout and thanks to Jesse Cox, Rawrbug and Frozen Death Knight for providing the voice acting! Couldn't have done it without you guys (and gal!) :)
Also, shoutout to Paus and Baron Soosdon for providing useful feedback during production.

This is the second episode in the Wish upon a Gnome series. It is highly recommended you watch Episode 1 (again), to get familiar with the story again. Watch it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K6zEEuVO0dU
The story picks up right where Episode 1 left off. Having narrowly escaped Archimonde's wrath at the World Tree, Jimmy the Gnome and his wish-granting Genie decide to look for a guild in order to get the honor and glory Jimmy so desires. However, when a famous guild at the Stormwind Guild faire doesn't want to admit him, Jimmy decides to use his second wish. Let's just say that the results aren't quite the way he wanted them to be...
Big kudos to the voice actors and Irdeen for composing some music, Machinimasound.com for providing awesome musical pieces and everyone at the #machinima IRC channel for support and inspiration.
Constructive criticism and general comments are greatly appreciated. Please rate and subscribe! :D
This short little clip would've been my contribution to Khandy2003's next What Else is On episode. Sadly, due to a harddrive crash What Else is On 3 has been cancelled.
This short clip shows Jimmy the gnome, from my Wish upon a Gnome series, having quite a bad lovelive. It seems the Genie is to blame for it...
Enjoy!
This movie tells the story of two lovers who board the very first boat to Northrend, after the Wrath of the Lich King expansion is released. Their adventure is short-lived though, when they reach the Frozen Sea...
This movie tells the story of two lovers who set out to Northrend on the first boat that left after Wrath of the Lich King launched. Sadfully, their adventure comes to an abrupt halt when they run into a certain iceberg.
NOTE: Due to time constraints, the credits had to be cut. In the director's cut edition (released soon), everyone who helped will be properly thanked in video. For now I'd like to thank the following people.
For voice acting: Druoxtheshredder, Genna "Eriyanna" Bain, and Jesse Cox.
For helping to shoot the live scenes at Stormwind Harbor: my guildies from Alpha Omega on Zenedar-EU (www.ao-guild.co.uk)
Enjoy! :)
This is my entry to WeGames Christmas contest.
This movie picks up shortly after the events of the first Wish upon a Gnome episode. The Winters Veil celebrations are in full swing and Jimmy the gnome is determined to get his hands on one of the robot pets Greatfather Winter is handing out. However, when Jimmy finds out that the old Greatfather has been kidnapped by the evil Frost Mages of Azeroth he is faced with a difficult choice. Miss out on his present (again!) this year, or use one of his remaining wishes to free the old Greatfather? Will the Frost Mages finally get the buffs they so desire or will Jimmy rise to save the day?
A big shout out to the voice actors, without them this Christmas special wouldnt have worked out nearly as well! :)
A full music tracklist can be found on http://admachinima.blogspot.com
Merry Christmas and a healthy new year to you all ^^
Wish upon a Gnome tells the story of Jimmy Togglewrench, a short lonely Gnome with an ego twice the size of your average dragon. All he ever wanted was honor and glory but being a Gnome doesn't exactly help. After another failed attempt to kill the fabled Vagash in Dun Morogh, he finds a metal gizmo containing a magical Genie and it comes with 3 wishes to boot! Ironforge is destined to bear witness to his first wish, and the mayhem that follows.
This is my first ever machinima with voice acting and I'm still very much learning the art of Machinima. Any comments, tips, tricks or other constructive criticism is much appreciated. I'm always looking to improve and trial and error seems to work wonders with Machinima, so please let me know what you think about it!
Shouts out to the voice actors, without whom this project would've never been as good as it is in such a short amount of time!

Let me know what you think about it and have fun watching :)
