The time has finally come! Starcraft: Rebirth of the Swarm is officially released!

Im very proud and super excited to finally show this movie to you. Constructive criticism of any kind is greatly appreciated!

Starcraft - Rebirth of the Swarm is the biggest Starcraft 2 Machinima Project to date. It is a 60 minute long, fully voiced Starcraft 2 machinima movie. For the last two and a half years, this machinima has been my pet project and it has come a long way since its announcement and im very proud of getting this project finished.

Now, before we get to the link, heres some information about the movie in general:

- The movie is fully voiced in english and also features english subtitles

- The movie has an exact running time of 60 minutes and 5 seconds

- The movie is released on Youtube in 720p with Stereo Sound, additionally to that it will be available for download in the next days featuring Dolby Digital 5.1 sound and 1440x1080 HD quality. The downloadable version will be playable on a PS3 and should be playable on most other Blu-Ray and DVD players.

I apologizes that the downloadable version is not available today due to some unexpected errors with the upload, however, I hope to be able to make it available in the next two days, preferably tomorrow!

READ FOR THE BEST VIEWING EXPERIENCE:

Lets start this out by saying that watching this movie over Youtube is a perfectly fine way of watching this movie. The sound has been optimized to work within a stereo enviroment and while there is a noticable loss in the video quality, the quality loss is still within a very acceptable level. Keep in mind that the sound was optimized for headphones, so I suggest you use some high quality ones to watch this movie.

With said, the recommended way of watching this movie is by downloading the movie (once it is uploaded) and watching it on your PC with headphones. That way, you get 100% out of the video quality and the sound quality. The biggest difference is that the downloadable version has a Dolby Digital 5.1 sound mixing, which greatly increases the quality of the audio. The gain in visual quality is also very noticable.

Also, there is the possibility of watching the downloaded movie on your television set. This is also a valid way of watching this movie, expecially seeing how the movie features Dolby Digital 5.1 sound. However, there are some shortcomings with this: Your television might screw around abit with the black/white contrast of the movie and on your 5.1 sound system, the music might not stand out as much as it would with headphones. However, while the movie was not primarily designed to be watched on a television, I tried my best to optimize the sound for it and the result is pretty good. I myself watched this movie several times already on my television set. While it has its shortcomings, watching a movie on a big screen on a couch always has another unique element to it.

Decide what option of viewing this movie suits you best.

With no further delay, heres the link! Enjoy!:

Im extremely excited to hear your thoughts on my movie! Feel free to state any sort of criticism!

Just started watching, looking great so far :D
This must had been a ton of work and effort into making this, hope it was a pleasant experience for you

the only thing that I didn't like is the voice acting of that red marine, his speech before the big battle especially was super weak.

This is some really good stuff, just finished it. I'm so impressed with the slow downs and the warp in effects, and the entire scope of this project. This was truly amazing.

The only thing I'd say is bad with is that the voice acting was a bit weak, but really that's not much to talk about. This is a fan made project and it was great
