My Video Page

Back in 2008 I began my adventures in machinima with a project entitled Techno Rocker: Xanoic Mode.



This was way before I knew what I was doing, just matching the characters with the beat of the song. I had viewed many videos during this time, many that were very awesome but many that were very weird and sometimes downright gross. I began creating a theory. What if I could create essentially Rated G content that could be on caliber with Rated R content? In 2010, I mixed machinima with an attempt at creating a song of my own creation. The Xanoic Brotherhood: Presents Ding!


I had been big fans of machinimators such as Oxhorn, Nhym and Cranius. Each brought something different to the table, be it a song or a short skit. I felt that I could give them proper props mentioning them in this video.

At the beginning of 2011 many ideas for videos had been swirling around in my head. I had tried to balance out what I could make, what I thought to be, look really epic but at the same time what I could conceivably pull off in Vegas. During this time I had befriended a machinimator by the name of Nananea. She had created a number of videos that had inspiried me and I wanted to do something that made her look really good, and in turn hopefully, make me look really good. That creation was Million Miles from Home by Dune.


I had continued to watch other machinimators and creators create their works of art, dedicated to Azeroth. I ended up referencing over 40 other creators. That was a big undertaking. This video was featured on a website called wowinsider.com, a blog known for all things Azeroth. Because of this video being featured my video Ding! got a little exposure and received nearly as many hits as this video did. I wouldn't say I am on the level as Oxhorn, Nyhm, or Cranius but I am well on my way on making my mark on this planet called Azeroth.

I am currently working on some new ideas for some new videos including creating some videos introducing my Xanoic brothers. The next video I would like to finish in two weeks, something I have never done before so it will be interesting to see how that pans out.
