I think the map was removed or something when wc3c went down because I keep getting the "Page cannot be found" message. Is there another place to dl this cinematic?
Just wanna hit you guys up. Great job GreatNoob, I love the casino, cool effects and cool game. Props for you. Just one question if you would please with all your kindness tell me what's the name and author of the song in bob's underground casino in the first map. Thank you.
hey, i just wanted to say OMFG!!!! UR DA MAN!!!!!!!
i was amazed by this, iv seen 'battle of the brave' just before this 1 and i was like hmmm... thats pretty good... but thats crap compared to this one... way to go man!!! i love it... like the whole idea too! the only thing i realy dint like was the jump he does! :D anyway 5/5!!!! and 98/100! (if it wasnt outa 5)
ima giv 7.5/5
10/5 for queing, 5/5 for entertainment value.
TGN. is there a string in the action use unit animation available for either Attack - 1 or Attack - 2 and only showing one of the 2?

thanks in advance

I have uploaded it here. Just waiting for darky to approve it :(

The cinematic is, good, but one question about the campaign.

How do you want to spread such a map, when the only dl links are

-at fileplanet (i cannot download it although i am registered since 3 years)
-at bittorrent (need prog)
-at filefront (waiting times, no resumes, and bad at all)

?????

Why didn't you just upload it here? I am not willing to download anything from those 3 sources.
The campaign is done and can be downloaded (scroll further down for the links).


TGN
This is the best cinematic I have seen for Warcraft III, and far surpasses the skill of Blizzard. You did a great job TGN, and I cannot wait for your new campaign.
One of the best Warcraft cutscene. 8)
WTH are you talking about? This is a cinematic!


TGN
Buggy, Buggy, Buggy, Buggy! It starts off OK but sometimes my character stops moving, can't use skills and can only stand there while being hacked to death by the bad guys. Sigh.... Oh yeah, twice when I tried to exit it crashed the game... The narration is pretty jevenile too.

First cineamtic to reach 3000 downloads right very nice.
Congrats with it.
The Campaign is available here:

http://www.fileplanet.com/files/140000/148603.shtml

http://www.wc3campaigns.com/torrent/Birth.of.Shadows-2.16.w3n.torrent


Enjoy!
I think it's funny that this cinematic has been out for what, a year in total and is still the only one of its kind!

thanks for the comments
Undoubtedly the best action cinematic ever made, great job guys!
better way to do flying:
EVENTS: .03 seconds
CONDITIONS: some boolean var that triggers him flying.
ACTIONS:flying height [we], move unit instantly [point with polar offset[by 3.00 towards facing of the unit]]
and also on the main cinematic trigger change animation speed to 0% after he has been walking for .10 seconds.



AWEEEESOME BY THE WAY 5/5 :twisted:
you know what i think about this cinematic muldav and TGN.
5/5 comes standard with a master piece.
<--- here is illidan :).
greets
/Warnicro/
A great piece of work (or should I call it art?)!!

Though the end is a bit too fast and unspectacular (does that word exist in english?)

That's just my opinion, it deserves more than 5 of 5, anyway!!
I think it deserves 5/5 :D
I hated it. Matrix action sucks.
As Always 5/5!^^
HOLY COW THAT IS INCREDIBLE!!
Info about the campaign will soon be found here:

Your next probable question: "When?"
My answer: "Ask Dorelian..."

TGN
TGN and Muldav, where can I DL yer' lil' campaign?
Don't exaggerate... It's only 1423... :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
1337 downloads, just wanted point that out... :D
I have watch it 3 times now- very good details- it´s really one of the best cinematics.
Yeaha! 1k downloads! :wink:
THNKS YOU OWN N00B ( I MEAN N00B IN A GOOD WAY :D )
CAN'T WAIT TILL YOUR NEXT WORK.
Animation - Lock (unit name)'s Head to face (unit name), offset by (0.00, 0.00, 0.00)

Can be found in Movie -> Movie loop 10 01 in The Vision's Trigger Editor.
Question how do you let Illidan look down ? I tried to find it in the editor but didn't found it.
5/5 Awsome!!! I can see why this got on the director's choice list, its unique, has perfect timing, sounds, effects, exeeds Blizzard's standards on so many levels, ITS AMAZING!!!
Warnicro, hehe its not out officially.. here on wc3campaigns

and if you do, then let us know by pm's what you liked and didn't like so that we can correct it in the upcoming gold version release!
Like on warcraftiii.net i would like to say you did an exelent job at making this cinematic, you made the nice matrix effect timed on the music and opponent.
Just descibed it in one word: Exelt
BTW: will start playing your campaign very soon!
1 and unique word FABULOUS this is a 5/5 make more make more
Thanks for the warm comments VGsatomi. And thanks for thinking that our map is good enough for this award. We hope that we will not disappoint you and that our campaign can stand beside this cinematic as a worthy follower.

TGN and MuldaV
I gave this cin the Directors choice award for pretty much exceeding Blizzards standards...well directed, flawless triggers, timing, sounds, and music to fit the mood. This really should be seen by everyone. If your talent shown here is any indicator of what to expect in your new campaign, then it will be one to anticipate for sure. Good job!
Born²Modificate:

As I said before, the campaign will be hosted at www.wc3campaigns.com in one or two weeks. I.e. we will also get forums there.

I really don't want to start discussions here but saying that this is not a cinematic and that it has no story is in my opinion a bit exaggerated.

This is a dream. If I should be honest, I donft always understand my dreams. This would of course not excuse this cinematic if it was just pure spam. However some willingness and at least some time spent on reading the description of it during loading will bring The Visionfs story up. As the name indicates this is a vision, a vision of something that will happen. The main hero dreams this vision. As all dreams this one is a bit gfoggyh but it clearly shows a fight between him and a mighty creature. Summarizing we get that this fight will happen in a near future and that it is a guidance or a warning for the hero. This is in fact the story of The Vision. It is so simple that it is perhaps a bit hard to see.

The Vision is not a trailer but the first map that introduces the Birth of Shadows RPG.

TGN
A short but INCREDIBLE cinimatic. Timing on the sounds was flawless, the jumping effects, timing on the tree deaths, unit part facing movements (Illidan shaking his head as his opponent rushed was classic) all was top notch...even many effects that Blizzard its self never pulled off in their cins. I could only imagine how many times you ran this to perfect the timing on everything. 5/5
-VGsatomi
I give a 3.2 for that because its a Nice Action Video but not a real Cinematic! There is not a Story but some pretty Battle Scenes! When illidan was in Rage and killed a few Trees that semmed a bit Silly because he was dancing all the time with 200% Abnimation Speed :roll: !
But all in all its a nice Trailer, I think i'll download the whole Project after it is finished! U have a Thread in a Forum, GreatNoob?
It was above average. 3.5/5, I'd say.
It IS better than a lot of the cinematics on here though.
That is SO COOL!!! :shock:
SORRY SORRY my fault, I had both campaigns in the same folder so I started the old one :oops:
By the way the new one is diferent , you first had a smaal cliping error when Illidan strikes the pitlord great map again sorry sorry :oops:
But I rated 5/5 so will you forgive me. :wink:
Okiedokie than´ks for the information i love to play cmapaings :lol:
Omegaweapon:
W H A T ???!!!
:shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:
You did not notice any changes??? I suggest a visit by an optician... Here are some (changes):
1. custom prev.
2. authors name
3. loading screen (how tha **** did u miss that?)
4. T E R R A I N
5. timing
6. new sounds
And finally; we did not resubmit anything! The old one was NOT submitted by us.

Metabee:
Ilidan was flying and I used terrain deformation trigger for the shockwaves (if you mean the waves after Ilidan lands after his jump). Look at the trigger " Ilidan jump" in the movie folder in the World Editor.

ufo:
The campaign will be hosted by wc3campaigns in 1-2 weeks.

[size=24]WHAT DID I TELL YA, THE NEW MASTER OF CINS[/size]

Holy crap this is like my favorite cinematic now even over CotN and CotD (well, maybe not THAT much, but this map kicks ASS)! I am going to show this to all my friends this thing is so awesome--extremely effective use of animations. Good job!
UHM i didn't ask how 2 do it, i asked was his movement flying, u d******
Use the function -Change units flying height and combine with any animation

WAS illidans movement flying?

Was the demon guy flying?
UR soo cool man 5/5.
