If you, for whatever reason, haven't seen these already... I have to take a moment to show them off. :-)
Dan and I (aka Haru and Roo, gamer names) have been working together to create mini-movies as a hobby. The footage comes from World of Warcraft, a massive multi-player online game that we often play with many of our dear friends. If you're not familiar with the game, there's more skill to our videos than meets the eye. First, we have to remove all interface bars (abilities, icons, etc.). Second, we have to set up each shot. Third, we have to "act" and / or film each shot, without it being interrupted by the thousands of other players who have no idea what we're doing. Lastly, we have to patch it all together... complete with music and grand scenic shots (which we had to film in an entirely different program). Yeah. It's a lot of work. But it's also a lot of fun! :-) Dan and I are really proud of what we've been able to accomplish thus far, and we plan to do a lot more. Below are the links:

This is our first film! It's a ten-minute movie telling the story of WoW's "Brewfest." It's an event that is modeled after Octoberfest. The short, midget-looking character is me (Roo) and the taller, tough-looking chick is Dan (Haru). Yes, I know... this makes us online lesbians. But we're comfortable with that, and we don't play in California. So, for now... it's still legal.

HEADLESS HORSEMAN: A Hallow's End Remix.

This is our second film, a short music video. It's an homage to WoW's Halloween-based event, called "Hallow's End." During this time, there's a special enemy called "The Headless Horseman," which becomes the star of this short. His voice is remixed, poorly, by me, to become part of the music... but the humor of it makes up for the lack of skill. :-)
All music and programs are given credit at the end of each movie. If you are curious about how we did it, or have any questions... let me know! Enjoy!
