The Pathfinders of Golarion is a little tribute I made in recognition of all the outstanding work everyone at Paizo has done so far. It's got some pretty cool music (so be sure you turn up your speakers) and it's only a couple minutes long.

For the best viewing, I encourage you to watch the video in High Quality, and do not elect to try the Beta Viewer. :-)

PostMonster General edit: Fixed link to point to new version. Still full of awesome. And win.


I just watched your video and I would like to congratulate you on a job well done. Excellent work. I wish I knew how to do things like that.


That is pretty impressive! Nicely done. I especially liked the pan up on the warrior attacking the (bronze?) dragon -from Dragonfall, if I remember correctly.

My only complaint is that I would have liked it to last longer!

And the music was a perfect fit. What was the name of the piece? Is it available somewhere?

OK, that's completely full of awesome.

Most sweet! Well-done!

Ok...I'm totally telling the whole company about this.

At the risk of parroting Gary...made of awesome.

So, um, as far as copyright goes, this sort of thing may not completely fall under "fair use," and, thus, as owners of the copyrighted material, we kind of have to say something. (We don't want to run into issues where anyone can suggest that a failure to protect our intellectual property has occurred, and it's kind of obvious that we're aware of this one now.)

So, Andrew, consider this a free and retroactive license to do exactly what you did. But would you mind adding text to the effect that the images are Copyright 2007-2008 Paizo Publishing, LLC, used with permission? Also, a slide telling people that they can "Learn more about Pathfinder and the Pathfinder Society at http://paizo.com/pathfinder" would be a nice addition.

Thanks!

OMFG X1,000. Just Wow. Andrew, this is so #$%^ing awesome.
James, Jeff, Sutter, and I all just gathered around my tiny computer screen and watched this, each growing more impressed and uncomfortably flattered by the second. So yeah, amazing job man and thank you so much!


Fantastic, Andrew. Absolutely fantastic.

You guys rock!

Awesome job Andrew!

Dark Archive

AWESOME!

Pathfinders make Marines look like wimps.

Now if someone would just make a video showing how much cooler Aspis Consortium riverboat pilots from the Mwangi Expanse were than the Coast Guard we'd be all set.

Uh-oh. I agree with the Pstmonster. Something must be terribly wrong.

Sovereign Court

Nice. :)


~grins~ Since I can't watch this at work, I will have to check it out once I get home.


WIN! *cheers* It's quite impressive on the Big Screen TV I have. :)

OMG it's so full of awesome...

but...

I can't read the text! *cries*


Wow.

It's like... an AD.

Liberty's Edge

That's awesome.


The Golarion Shoggoth got in, the Golarion Shoggoth got in! And I see Xin Shalast was featured as well.

Well done, sir.

Paizo Employee Director of Games

Fantastic sir. I applaud your efforts.

Sweet! Super sweeet!
Amazing piece of work. You rock!

That was great! I'm going to use it to show off the artwork to friends who haven't played yet... :)

Thanks! And double-thanks for not smacking me down (I was worried last night that you guys were going to tell me to take the video down).

The short is reedited and can be viewed at the updated link--is there any way you guys can update the link in the original post? When I reedited to add the last slide it included enough additional time (a whole 10 seconds) that YouTube treated it as a different upload, so I had to delete the first one...

The Pathfinders of Golarion, redux.


<Flurry of awe inspired expletives removed>

Wow.

Very well done.

I'd suggest Paizo at least link to it from their Pathfinder page, if not host it themselves.

I'm certainly going to share it with my friends.


Andrew Turner:
Just watched it through again. Amazing work. If there was one thing I might have liked done otherwise, it might have been maybe a second or so longer looking at all the iconics, lined up together like that, in the first quarter of a minute. Will check again, to give you a rough idea of where approximately I'm talking about.

Edit:
It was later in than I thought... Wow, time does seem to have gone by slightly faster when you're enjoying yourself. I was referring to the line up of iconics on the white background at around 22-23 seconds, before it switches to flicking through close-ups of a number of individual iconics.

Sovereign Court Wayfinder, PaizoCon Founder

SA-WEET, Andrew! Now, I need to post that link to as many places as I can think of......;-)

Well done, sir. Well done.

Thanks for the kind words. That lineup is interesting--I had to make it from individual stills; I was surprised there wasn't a single image in the Paizo archives until I realized Reynolds created each character individually, and over a course of time. If you stream the video through AppleTV to your flatscreen, they're easier to see.


Very nice, Andrew! Very nice indeed!


Well, that was fun!


ya just wait to I show my group this. Super nice work man


Inspiring! Great Show.


Very nice display of the shots, and the music is super awesome. Hells, I'm a Forgotten Realms player, and this almost makes me want to ditch and start up a pathfinder campaign. Paizo couldn't have PAID for a better advertisement!


Pathfinder Adventure Path Subscriber

Great work! I'm starting to get my video editing itch on.


I have not seen it yet, but It's gone !!

Are you going to put it back up?

Sorry, the link expired; try this: The Pathfinders of Golarion.

Dude, very cool!

Quick question though: which song did you use for the video? It sounds familiar, but I can't place it!

Very cool!

I love you, man...


garn!! GOOD WORK !

Very nice. What's the music from?

I meant to ask that myself, sounds very familar...

They are presently using the music in the Marine corp recruiting ads, of all things...I guess that is why no one understood my Coast Guard joke above!

Thanks Mr. Shiny! Glad someone did.

Liberty's Edge

Ouch! *wince*

The music is by Mark Isham and is from the Army campaign, not the Marines. How in the world anyone could confuse a sailor, I mean, um, Marine with a Soldier is unconscionable...

;-)

If you like the music, you can download it for free from any number of sites, including the official Army homepage. :-)

That explains why I was inspired to go down to the recruitment center. I was turned away because I came brandishing my broadsword and breastplate.
