A new machinima is causing a stir. The WoW film “Light’s Champions” has a first trailer that leaves you wanting more!
In World of Warcraft, there are numerous quest lines that have stayed in the players’ memories. Many of them would make for a standalone film that could easily compete with the current blockbuster movies. One of these particularly memorable quests is about Crusader Bridenbrad – a member of the Argent Crusade.
During the battles in Icecrown, he was severely wounded and was considered missing. Because he was very popular and a true “Champion of Light”, the player was sent to rescue him.
The YouTuber Cstyle12 has been working on a film that tells the story of Crusader Bridenbrad since 2015. In the first trailer, he shows impressions from the completed film.
The complete film will actually have an impressive runtime of 110 minutes – nearly 2 hours! This work comes close to great works like “Tales from the Past”, which have thrilled hundreds of thousands of fans in the past.
Either next Friday (09.06.2017) or the following Friday (16.06.2017), the film will be released on Cstyle12’s YouTube channel. After that, it will also be presented by the well-known WoW streamer Nixxiom, who is promoting the whole event a bit.
By the way: The quest line about Crusader Bridenbrad is a tribute to Brad Bridenbecker, the brother of WoW developer Rob Bridenbecker. Despite several attempts to conquer the illness, he passed away from cancer. The trajectory resembles, in many ways, the course of the quest line – with a sad but beautiful ending.
Cortyn says: For a “one-man show”, since Cstyle12 created the video all by himself, the trailer is quite impressive. Only the voice actors seem a bit out of place at times. Hopefully, the nearly 2 ½ years were worth it and he is satisfied with the finished work. Personally, I find the chosen story cool – that would be really great material for a “real” Warcraft film.
