Hey all,

Does anyone know how they make the World of Warcraft videos? I mean ones such as:

How do they make the characters move like that and get them sort of effects etc?

There all just in-game animations, getting them mingled together to make a movie like that however I'm not sure... probably some fancy video editing.

there's a character viewer application, it basically reads the game files and lets you load characters, armour, weapons etc. and animate them however you want.

I've made tons of wow movies, it's not difficult. If you want to custom animate anything, just use the wowmodelviewer.
