Title: Just finished the ZWEIHÄNDER Grim & Perilous video!

Behold and lament in the David Mamet-inspired horror which is ZWEIHÄNDER! The voiceover was done by one of the play testers, who has an appropriately dry and gravely voice. Unfortunately, the microphone captured a lot of echo. However, I think it turned out alright for our first video. Let me know what you think!

Epic storyboard and artwork, but I'd shell out fifty bucks and get a professional narrator at the local radio station to run through the lines, preferably one who can do a passable received English accent. At a minimum do the narration under a blanket or facing curtains, there's that audible echo there.

The artwork is spectacular.

The narration wasn't as bad as I expected, but it, and the story being narrated, did nothing for me.
It would have been better I think if you had just shown us the images to some kind of music (maybe Wagner, or maybe some kind of heavy-metal symphonic-rock kind of thing).

What you really want is a granite muncher like this guy (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GSNTS8pZx14) to narrate, if you know any chainsmoking Germans.

Edit: following on from the Pundit's suggestion, turn off the sound on the ZWEIHANDER video and play this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0d4qM7gCH8) in the background simultaneously instead. Wow.

Oh, the E Nomine guy would be awesome.

But for an amateur video it's kick ass. The art is awesome.

Amazingly evocative, I love it, 110%. Give it a go with that templar chant though and see what you think.

Not sure how I missed this!

I am working on the new video now and hope to have it ready here in about an hour, using the chanting. Additionally, the video will include all new artwork from Dejan Mandic!
