Awesome, definitely something to show the group before running LMoP. I like the voice work, and the selected art, while also doing a good job avoiding spoilers of any kind. If I had this when I ran LMoP, it def would have hyped my player's a lot! Keep up the good work. If I could add one critique, I couldn't hear the narrator very well over the background sounds. I think it's the reverb in the voice recording, sounds like it was recorded in a small room with bare walls. You can find acoustic foam on amazon for like ~$3 per foot of foam (give or take). Use poster tack or something similar to put it on the walls near the mic would help a tun.
I agree with the critique, as it's noticeable in the other videos posted on this channel, but I also have to say that I love these videos. The art is excellent, the background music is spot on, and the voice-work for the introduction reading is amazing. Excellent work Alan MacPherson, and I hope you keep this up for future WOTC module releases.
This is great! Fun to watch and, even as someone currently more than a dozen sessions into a Phandelver run, I've learned some important pieces of setup lore through this!
This is amazing! I'm gonna play this to my players until 1:42 after they free Gundren (IF they free him) as a little "history review". Well done! Love it!
This was my first ever DND campaign! I remember playing a lizardfolk barbarian, and at one point there was this group of baddies that we needed information from, and they gathered at this tavern/bar. We managed to get in, and being completely new I thought it might be a good time to try some intimidation; it failed. So miserably, it started an all-put brawl. The DM broke character for a moment and basically said “they’re at a way higher level than you, run while you can” and we’re all scrambling to get out of there alive. There was a halfling bard in our party who basically home alone’d his way into the background and after negotiating with the baddies to just keep us in jail and not actually kill us the dm sent everyone out to figure out how the heck to get us back in track. From that moment on, my character wasn’t allowed to try negotiations anymore. The next session was the jailbreak, and we were joined by a new paladin, and our characters became besties over throwing the halfling through a windowpane. My character was impatient, and so instead of waiting for rescue she just broke down the door to her cell once the guards were called away to fight the rest of the party.
This awesome intro video is the intro video the DM for the group I'm a part of doing Lost Mines of Phandelver has posted on the Discord Channel's Campaign Introduction part.
Hey, thanks a bunch, stunning work! Would you mind enabling others to add CC to your videos? Some of my players aren't as fluent in -medievally toned- English, plus your voice drowns in the audio here and there. :)
Animation, great. Writing, great. Voice talent great. Music and SFX great. Audio recording and mix, TERRIBLE! (1) Get a good mic, (2) Surround the narrator with sound blankets during recording, (3) Get enough takes so that the occasional "swallowed" sentence can be replaced with a more audible take (4) Mix with noise reduction (5) Pull down levels of SFX and Music a bit during narration, pot them up a bit in between. Basic, basic, basic.

@@Monteeize Very kind words, thank you! I absolutely intend to keep making these for WoTC products!
@@alanmacpherson Would you be up for possibly uploading a hard subbed version of this, to improve the timing of the subtitles?
