Valley of the Damned, Episode 01: Forbidden is the first part of an ongoing series by Cerinne , whose previous credits were mostly focused on raiding videos. Valley of the Damned is a character-driven story which takes place before the Scourge Invasion and the Third War. Lady Fierine Calloun is a noblewoman who comes to Dalaran to be trained in the ways of magic, and begins uncovering more about the “dark arts” than she was expecting. For a first episode from a relatively new machinimist, I was fairly pleased with Valley of the Damned . The voice acting needs a little polish, but I thought the actors did a pretty good job portraying their characters. The scripting did a good job of setting the pace and tone for the series’ world, but hopefully the next episode will be a little faster paced. The animation is based purely on in-game graphics, with the odd filter thrown in here and there. I actually found that to be a strong point in favor of Valley of the Damned , because it lets the viewer “live” in the story the same way they’d escape into the game. It roots the episode to our in-game experiences, instead of creating a wholly different world which just happens to be using WoW graphics.
