Maitseling of Chroniques Darnassiennes posted Gnomebusters (http://www.warcraftmovies.com/movieview.php?id=111301) over on Warcraft Movies (http://www.warcraftmovies.com/). The movie came about because, apparently, Maitseling's guild mates complained that he hadn't featured gnomes in machinimas. How better to address that issue than with an homage to one of the finest films ever created?
The video's a lot of fun. I like the way Maitseling translated the world of Ghostbusters (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghostbuster) into something visual in Azeroth. My only complaint would be that none of the soundtrack references WoW, since the song and dialogue is pretty much a direct lift from the original movie. That didn't really detract from my enjoyment of the film, though. I'm old enough that I saw the original film in the theatre, and Maitseling's work really took me back.
Who's afraid of those gnomes?
