A Hero Returns (Movie)

Irr · 06-04-2006, 11:47 AM

STOP! BEFORE YOU WATCH THE MOVIE, READ THIS!

This movie is an "artistic interpretation" of the short stories written by Navarro Altion. The Transition Chronicles: The Unsung Hero I believe you will be better able to understand the video if you take the time to read this story. __________________________________________________ __________________________

"Stuck...Can't get out...NO! It's gone!"

Waking up, Navarro realized he was just dreaming.

"My sword! Where is it?!" Navarro panics as he frantically looks for a blade that he no longer has.

After looking to no avail, he falls to his knees pulling harshly at his straggly, long hair.

Navarro began weeping tears of insanity that had worn at him from all the years of nothingness.

"Stolen away...from all I knew...all I loved."

A moment later Navarro stands to his feet, wiping the tears from his eyes.

"But that is no more.", he said with a sniff.

There was a time when the gods watched as mortal power grew. They became fearful, and decided that there should be a barrier between their world, and that of mortals. With that, they created the Plane of Time to hold mortal beings at bay. To create a plane of such design, they drew upon the essence of the world of Norrath. Streams of life energy were pulled from the world and projected into the heavens.

In a strange twist of fate Navarro had began his ascent through the spires to Luclin to meet with his friend, Irras Locksheon. When the spires activated, Navarro was whisked away in a beam of light toward the moon. At that exact moment, one of the life streams collided with Navarro's path, carrying him completely off course to a type of limbo.

Trapped in a place where time had little effect on him, Navarro could see both Norrath and the Plane of Time, but could reach neither. And there he stayed, alone to dwell in his own madness for over five centuries, until the gods abandoned the Planes.

Navarro slowly stumbles out of the door of the inn, taking in a deep breath of fresh air. He looks straight on into the landscape in front of him.

"Oh how it's changed."

From there he begins to walk into the horizon with no particular destination in mind.

Will the world of Norrath ever reclaim one of its old shining heros? The path from insanity is long and lonely. None walk this path... save one. His name is Navarro Altion.

Some Things I'd Like to Point Out First, the volume is a little lower than I intended. Crank your speakers so you can hear the voices. Second, this video would have been released a week ago, but I accidently deleted it. Yes...you heard me.:smileysad: Needless to say, I struggled with recreating each scene and voiceover for about two weeks. Then the time came for me to record some voiceovers, and I got a sore throat, so it was delayed yet again. I'm so tired lol. And I can't remember the last time I actually PLAYED EQII haha. So this will probably be my last video for awhile, unless my muse punches me. I'd also like to mention that the story above is one of eight stories which can be read here . I hope you'll enjoy A Hero Returns

ANOTHER SMASH HIT!Btw I did the voice of ''Navarro'' :smileyhappy:

Zilreed · 06-04-2006, 02:48 PM

Wow!

I smiled, put my hands to my mouth and my eyes went wide when I watched this! You've really outdone yourself! Just, wow! :smileysurprised:

I love the voice acting here especially. I am going to play around with that myself, one of these days. :smileyvery-happy:

Can't wait to see more! :smileyhappy:

Hey Irras,

another amazing video, thank you SMILEY

Khejido · 06-04-2006, 05:16 PM

Yeah,

I can definately say, this video was a bear to make. Going over to Irras' house, getting footage for about 12 hours the 1st day, and the second day, another 12 hour day of voice overs and putting the video together.....and then (bum bum bum bum!) DELETED!..............

I was so mad with him. It was a stinking masterpiece! Altho, i've gotta say, now that he's tweaked the 2nd one after me complaining (big grin), It's much better

I did the voice overs for Archonn (the barbarian from Halas) and Khejido. I must say, I had quite a bit of trouble getting his last bit of lines done.

Maybe, one day i'll get around to posting what i have written of the story of Navarro. SMILEY

You used Fear Factory and Mist III music. How can you NOT go wrong with that line up? Your use of music with voices is just awe inspiring. ROCK ON!

HAHAHAHAH! Zem, you're a goof SMILEY

Thank you all for the comments. It really means a lot, especially on this one.I kept Alistair and Navarro in the dark for a long time as I worked on this. Whenever I needed their voice, I only let them watch that scene, so the movie was a surprise to them as well.

Khejido · 06-04-2006, 10:30 PM

well, i'm starting to think my brother has a stalker SMILEY

And...i cant let him take all the glory...

As, Voiceovers-my idea

Fear Factory- my idea SMILEY

Be honest irras SMILEY

And, really, i wasnt kept in the dark....after all it's my story...and, i was there when it was filmed (but i wasnt there for the part at the beginning with irras, very good surprise there)

anyway

btw, i'm single i need to get married...j/k SMILEY

Art_ · 06-04-2006, 10:42 PM

nice work Irras, patience is a must when awaiting one of his videos, although it was shocking on the turn around time after you

deleted the first one by mistake, i was expecting a longer downtime, due to your always being a perfectionist =P

very kool how you left it wide open for more to come, but do take a break and play the [expletive haxx0red by Raijinn] game, you don't want me to out

lvl Harte now do you? /evil grin

wow just wow like i so loved it

crashzero · 06-06-2006, 12:23 PM

The quality of EQ2 videos these past weeks have skyrocketed. Amazing Irras, simply amazing ! So looking forward to the sequel :smileywink:

Forest_Wulfe · 06-07-2006, 11:42 AM

Wow! Simply amazing movie Irras... I agree with Zemfira here as well, the portal scene was absolute genius (in fact, there were many scenes I could point to that were very impressive). Very well done my friend, enjoyed it greatly.

StormQueen · 06-08-2006, 10:55 AM

What can I say? Astounding. Simply awesome work. Encore!

LadyShylah · 06-08-2006, 07:03 PM

Totally amazing! Very dramatic SMILEY

I can't wait to see what happens next! Kudos to the voice actors and great job putting this all together.

Irr · 06-08-2006, 11:57 PM

Thanks a lot guys. Just to let you know, I've got some ideas floating around atm, so eventually they'll make it onto my computer. It was really fun getting together and doing voice overs. Alistair lives about 2000 miles away, so it was interesting sending .wav files back and forth until we got it right. As for Navarro, phew , well that's my younger brother and boy was THAT fun. :smileymad: But hey, in the end we got it done, and they both did a great job./cheers to you guys.

selch · 06-09-2006, 03:16 AM

Best EQ2 video I've ever watched.. (you can possibly add official ones to list as well) , very proffessional, perfect angles, perfect sound..

Good work

EQ2Playa432 · 06-09-2006, 04:09 AM

I would have to say that this was amazing! Great work!

KerowynnKaotic · 06-09-2006, 07:06 AM

BRAVO! BRAVO! BRAVISSIMO! *claps harder* *whistles pierces nearby patrons eardrum's*

Loved it!
