I'd like a mash-up of The most interesting man in Praetoria with a bit
of "Look at your man, now back at me, I'm on a horse" thrown in for taste.
Also, Caligdoiel, what on Earth is that picture? Looks like Big Brothers Eye or something.

Amazing! I linked it to my multi-game guild's ongoing MMO watch thread, hopefully it'll tease a few more players over here 
The video was beautiful and brilliant, and the music really made it! Kudos to both you and the composer!
Fantastically done! Casting a note that the Cleo bit was a spoiler. I would have recommended the very first choice in the tutorial.
Beyond that, love the video and am recommending it to friends.

"Game On" is going to be a video like the one I did to The Guild's "Do You Want to Date My Avatar?" (I had actually gotten permission from Felicia Day to use the song, and she loved the end result. Since then I've gotten permission again to use "Game On", The Guild's next song, for a video.) A total geekfest sendup of humor.
"The Most Interesting Man in Praetoria" got started because of something Zombie Man and Venture started on the Closed Beta forums... I convinced Venture to repost it in Forum Games, with the intent of making a series of short commercials, parodying the "Most Interesting Man in the World" ads for Dos Equis beer.
"CoVIDEOHELL" is a series several friends and I have been working on, based on the hit "AMV Hell" series. Ten-minute videos of sheer weirdness, all set in the CoH universe - and we have enough material for four or five volumes, I think at this point. Famous movie quotes, songs, and total dork references will abound in these vids.

To address something else a lot of folks have mentioned, if you like the music from "Allegiances," please visit Zero-Project's website. He does amazing work across a variety of musical styles, is brilliantly creative, and just a nice guy overall. So drop him a line and let him know you liked it! (He's also on YouTube.)

Please spread the word if you liked my video - I'd like to see how far this one can go.

Awesome, as always.
I vote for The Most Interesting Man in Praetoria. Barring that, CoVIDEOHELL.
Chills again. Nicely done. =)

You weren't the only one that noticed that about the graffiti, but it's really a minor nitpick for me. Probably can't be helped since it fits the rhythm of the music.|

Well done as always, D_R.
Loose --> not tight.
Lose --> Did not win, misplace, cannot find, subtract.
One extra 'o' makes a big difference.
I can't watch this quite yet as I am at work... but the following gets my vote for the next vid:

Well so far, me making "The Most Interesting Man in Praetoria" as my next video is winning by a wide margin. Fortunately that should be fast and relatively easy to make... and yes, I will have casting calls for who gets to do the narration. (The actual voice of MIMIP is going to be Leandro, if I have to beg, cajole, and threaten him into it.)
Re: the pacing with the graffiti, 1) it had to be in time to the music, and 2) I was going for almost an subliminal quality, like "did I really just see that?"
And thank you to everyone who has been linking this on Facebook or Twitter or whatnot - if you like the vid, and think it does a good job of showing off our game, please use it to get the word out!
BTW, War Witch, thank you for the mention. I figured you'd just respond via PM. (Castle might post here, but he's about it. MAYBE Ocho...)

If you choose to spoof Old Spice in that video, I've got a character already made up to be the Old Spice Guy (I named him "Monocle Smile") on Virtue. I can only do pose work, though; I don't really have the voice to go with it.
(And yes, it's a very good trailer. That part goes without saying, of course.)
Great job!
I'm gonna go ahead and vote for "Game On" because I really liked your last take on a Guild song.
Excellent video D_R
Outstanding!

As the saying goes, Better late then never, Samuraiko. And it was worth the wait. As a few comments on the youtube says, you do not have to do this, but you do... and you do it excellently.
Loved the video, the build-up towards the alignments, the music... It all fitted.
Way to go!

I have been told that I have a good face for radio.
There I was between a rock and a hard place. Then I thought, "What am I doing on this side of the rock?"
And the votes currently stand...
The Most Interesting Man in Praetoria - **********
CoVideoHell - ***
Game On - *
I'll take votes through Sept 30th, just to be fair.
*********
Again, thank you to everyone who has been posting this on Facebook or Twitter or blogs - it means a lot that you enjoy my work enough to share it. (Either that or you're going, "check out this schnook's work...") You guys are just awesome.
Maybe I'll get lucky and some gaming company in Seattle will see it and go, "Yes, SHE'S the one for us!" and hire me!
Oh don't I wish.

I'd vote for TMIMIP too - although I'd also vote for a video of HeroStats being read out by someone, just as long as that someone was Leandro

Looks great DR!
Well Done!
...and I'm on the fence between "The Most Interesting Man in Praetoria" and "CoVIDEOHELL"
