About

"I Surrender" not only shows what can be one with MMORPG-based machinima, but also is a fine example of the ways in which this new medium both borrows from and comments upon other media forms. Made in the beta version of World of Warcraft , this video borrows precisely from the conventions of MTV music videos, specifically, the revelation of back-story through flashbacks and other devices tied to the rhythms of a romantic power ballad. Ironically, working with the constrained emotes and gestures of an MMORPG into a constrained media format adds up to a creative tour-de-force. Less is more! --HEL "Here is the first video I ever made in World Of Warcraft. It is currently being hosted on fileplanet.com! It made the front page! w00t! 1 or 2 weeks after the release of WoW I will be producing the second movie. Hope you all enjoy!" -- from the Crafting Worlds website.
