The Grind - We want more!

Uzbeki · 03-16-2007, 10:20 AM

Over 10,000 people have already seen "The Grind - Episode 0" and like us started to ask questions; Who are they and is this just a one-time release!? Drew, who uploaded the movie, helped us fill out the blanks:

""The Grind" came about after a talented fellow in the Malygos guild began creating short movies of guild raid footage. He made the obligatory Molten Core, Blackwing Lair, and Ahn'Qiraj videos that all aspiring WoW video makers have made, and added his own little twists. But he wanted to have more fun with it.

A couple script ideas were worked up, then -- several hours of running around Azeroth and dozens of gigabytes of raw video later -- a little movie called "Being Helpful" came about. A group of creepy gnomes following a guy around for a day set to music, what could be funnier?

After that, a group of people in our guild became desperate to start making real machinima. After months of work, "The Grind - Episode 0" was released. And the rest is history. Actually, since it hasn't really happened yet, it's not history at this point. But that's neither here nor there.

Our aim is to make people laugh and come back for more. MacheathHow'd he do that?", but primarily we’re just trying to amuse ourselves and whomever else might want something funny to watch." works his camera magic and loves to hear "

The Grind - Episode 1 is already finished and will be released sometime at the beginning of next week, until then enjoy:

I sure hope we are too.

The response from the Warcraftmovies.com community has been huge! To have the myndflame guys come out and say they enjoyed our stuff is just amazing. It's been a fantastic last couple days. I can only hope you all keep enjoying our stuff and we keep up with making it.

Well, we're doing filming and preliminary audio for episode 2. We shoot for about every 6 weeks between episodes though so hopefully you all won't be waiting too terribly long.
