Ladies and Gentleman!
It's with great pride that I finally present my Machinima / Stop Motion film: The Sage Kings, part 1.
It has taken me over countless hours of writing, drawing, filming and above all: editing. But don't forget the painful experiences that come with corrupt files, missing blocks, sound codecs, drawing lines, video artifacts and the list goes on...
But, its finally done! Well... atleast part 1 is done![]()
So, what is it all about you might ask?
The Sage Kings is a short film done in multiple parts. It tells an indepth lore story about the Monks from Diablo 3 and their believes in order to destroy evil in all forms.
However I decided to twist our already known lore and add a new dimension to it. With a new and interesting concept I give the Monks a more in depth story in line with a unique drawing style and ingame footage.
"Every hundred years, according to an old, but not forgotten prophecy; one of the chosen that live high above in the Foothills, would transcend his brothers and sisters and become something what we could call: The Angels from Heaven."
All lines are voice acted to add the sense of heriocness from the Sage King as well as the enemies he faces. Epic battle music and a dramatic atmosphere are following itself quickly in order to keep things interresting.
So, if you have the time, please take a look at the first part of The Sage Kings!
Part 2 is coming very soon and it will future the Butcher and the Skeleton King.
I hope you enjoy!
