FAQ

Sometimes I can't answer everyone's questions for I am busy most of the time, so I made this FAQ and hopefully it will answer your questions.

Is it possible for Chadstein to create a World of Warcraft Lore/Music video at a fan's request?

Lore videos: Depends, I will from time to time as I have a lot of lore's that I want to do. As for music videos, not at the moment.

Are you male or female?

Male.

The information in your Lore of Warcraft videos seems to be from WoWwiki, is that true? And why do you use it instead of using your own words?

Yes, mostly all the information is from WoWwiki/WoWpedia. I rather use WoWwiki/WoWpedia as it is simple than using my own words and having spelling mistakes etc in the videos which is time consuming.

What are the names of the songs in your videos?

All the song/artist names are on the "Show More" tab on the specified YouTube page.

What programs do you use?

I use Fraps, WoW Model Viewer, World of Warcraft, Adobe Photoshop and Sony Vegas Movie Studio Platinum 9.

The Assault On Icecrown Citadel

Wow my first blog post!

I am a New Zealander machinima director, although I am situated in Australia.
I wouldn't say I'm the best lol, but just enough to create my videos that I love to do and share.
At the moment I am still experiencing and learning the ropes of being a machinima creator.

I mostly make videos explaining about the Lore of Warcraft, extracting information from WoWwiki, using a soundtrack, and WoW model viewer and Sony Vegas to turn it into a good way for people to enjoy it more.
I also create music and some parody videos using World of Warcraft.
My style is a variety so I like to do a bit of everything when the opportunity comes.

That said... I have just released my new video "The Assault On Icecrown Citadel", which in reference I would say it is a trailer video for Jaina and Sylvanas assaulting Icecrown Citadel in The Halls of Reflection.

It was challenging to create, as this project started around mid November, as I wanted it to be released before Patch 3.3 Fall of the Lich King but was tied down as my personal life took place and the leaving of my co-founder of DCM Entertainment, so it was put on hold.

About two weeks ago I started back to finish the project, very insane and mind boggling during certain parts, especially WoW model viewer and map viewer as they kept crashing often which delayed the project more and I also need to buy myself a new computer that can run easily for creating videos.
I would also like to mention and thank the music composers Reel2 and CKC from Newgrounds.com. Their music caught me and I felt very amazed by it, kind a like that tingling feeling you get.

But I finally got it done and was happy enough to release it even though it had few errors in some parts of the video. But practice makes perfect.

The outcome was very fun to do.
