Ok, i know its just a preview cinimatic, but there was lots opf room for improvement. The way all the units got stuck at the end was tacky and unproffesional. There was lots of spelling msitakes and The dialogue was not in character.

And one big question: How the hell did them fire demons get into the wooden boats without burning them to an ember. And you made this worse, because you state that the fire demons consist of real fire, thus why they needed to keep out of the rain.

It was okay...but the music was very out of place and Illidan's lines just don't feel right to how he'd talk.

This prologue was nice. Camera usage kind'a good. I haven't noticed any serious errors or crashes. I personally prefer custom music in cinematic or camping, but original suited as well. Terain was very good, especially seaview. The story was compulsive right from the start :wink: .
But there's one thing I didn't like. Illidan was talking waaay too much. I was reading and couldn't catch what they were doing at the same time. I imagine Illidan, well not so "public" and "outgoing". He should be censorious, like to mock with his criticism and ofcourse, self-confident Don’t be mad at me that I worry you so much about this, but I love stories with a strong character and Illidan is one of my favorites :) .
So that's it. As I said: a great prologue! If there be a camping, I can't wait to play it.

Thank you all for your comments. And this was just an update, mainly on the story-line because I found some things I needed to change while working on the first chapter. I am not working fast at all, mainly due to school and athletics, but I am trying my best to work on it as much as I can. As for the errors, I will see to them when I have time. Thank you again.

Incredible Cinematic!
I love it!
But, i saw an error, i donno if its an error, but i think so:
When Illdan arrives, he start to speak with the Nagas, and in the 3 or 4 dialogue, he says: Deamons or Daemons.
And in the next one, he says Demons.
Maybe this will help.

OK, a slightly updated version. The most important is that you reduced the file size at about 4 MB. Good for my connection! :D
The cameras are not bad, but you should try to avoid moving through objects and try to move the camera in a way that you don't see how objects are cutted out of view by the engine. This is really a problem with cinematics! :evil:

And again, I think the intro music during the (quite nice and poetic) sway across the ocean with the riff islands doesn't fit perfectly, I think it's too moving. I suggest the "human2" theme for this scene; it's more mystically, has a better development and not so much exciting percussion.
Excuse me that I worry so much about that, but I'm a big film music fan! :P :)

PS: If you have more such little updates in the future, just update the map and don't completely reupload it.

0 bytes? O_o I'm gonna check it.

EDIT: Not bad. I liked the way you placed the cameras. But the units get stuck for a while in the end. At least it happened to me.
