The ending dialogue does make things interesting, about everything being about him and him having more power than anyone imagined. The dialogue isn't well written either, there are words like 'shit' and 'ummmmm', these words shouldn't be said by the warden, but maybe something like 'By the gods!'. Camera: There are a lot of camera changes and you can see everything well, however it would be better if you moved around the camera the whole time or just added a very, very small 'shake camera' effect. Fights: The fights were really 'lame', no animation-based fights, just 2 guys attacking each other using the default attack system. You did try to bring in some effects, however the same effects get used over and over again and Maiev keeps using the same ability, Blink or the nature circle thingy. Illidan on the other hand doesn't have any abilities apparently. Terrain: Terrain-wise the environment is well filled up, weather effects, a lot of doodad variation, however some custom tree models or other custom doodad models would have made things more fresh. The terrain isn't too flat either. Overall: An OK cinematic for a starter, however there's not a lot of action, the story isn't original and it's too short. Rating: 2/5

You're supposed to update the rejected map not re-upload it, but oh well.

edit:

Review:

Story:

Story-wise, it's nothing original, it's the usual hunt after Illidan which Maiev is leading and in your cinematic she finally finds him and fights him.
The ending dialogue does make things interesting, about everything being about him and him having more power than anyone imagined.
The dialogue isn't well written either, there are words like 'shit' and 'ummmmm', these words shouldn't be said by the warden, but maybe something like 'By the gods!'.

Camera:

There are a lot of camera changes and you can see everything well, however it would be better if you moved around the camera the whole time or just added a very, very small 'shake camera' effect.

Fights:

The fights were really 'lame', no animation-based fights, just 2 guys attacking each other using the default attack system. You did try to bring in some effects, however the same effects get used over and over again and Maiev keeps using the same ability, Blink or the nature circle thingy.

Terrain:

Terrain-wise the environment is well filled up, weather effects, a lot of doodad variation, however some custom tree models or other custom doodad models would have made things more fresh.

Overall:

An OK cinematic for a starter, however there's not a lot of action, the story isn't original and it's too short.

OK the cinematic was Gd at Terran like Vengance said but it also lacks sounds if u could get some Gd voice actors i remember seeing it in this link and put won't be bad an also what he said about fight animation is right because once i saw an Awesome cinematic that had like Illidin jumping and attacking in air when i saw the creator of is used same attack animations but he added extra things like running from hits because he was like against a huge monster and all that maybe u should add more things like

You remind me the old map Illidan vs Maiev but i must say that it's at least 100 times greater than yours. Sorry.

I saw it in youtube several years ago but i couldn't find it anymore maybe they deleted.

That map was very good. The storyline is after Arthas force defeat illidan force. Illidan abandons his base and tries to reach the frozen throne before Arthas does. Then Maiev show up and have an armageddon with him.

She drove him to an ice bridge, Illidan knows that he must put all of his power in order to defeat the warden. He transforms into a power demon by using the skull of Gul'dan but surprisingly Maiev also transform into an Avatar of Vengeance by using Gul'dan 's magical artifact, the shadow orb.

They slowly come to the center of the bridge and launch a powerful attack into their opponent. A terrible explosion occurs, pull them backward to two sides of the bridge and cut the bridge a half. When Illidan try to climb up Maiev blink to his side and make a final strike. However, Illidan uses every last of his power toss him into the air and fly to the other side. Out of mana, Maiev can only watch her prey run away from her once again.

After that is the solo duel between Illidan and Arthas as you all know.

If anyone has it, could you please send me a link to download, video or map, it's up to you.

Er, my bad! It's the first cinematic I made when I was a beginner in WE. I will fix it. Again, sorry for my bad cinematic.

Well, it's an undeniable fact and i will be a liar if i don't say so but don't feel so bad. Try hard and you will be better.

Some nice shots.
How did she find the real one if she went after the illusion?
