It's cool and all, but from a technical standpoint, it's actually more difficult to make other stuff in WC3 that you guys take for granted every day when you play maps.

I'm a little confused about how he did it, but its interesting. I'm still amazed to this day by the stuff that people can do in WE. But Dusk is right, that we do take a lot of hard work for granted.

It's done with images and showing/hiding them. It should be done using a white tile that is tinted using vertex coloring, but oh well.

You sure you didn't mess up the lower with the upper movie? It has tiles, but maybe you're right, dunno. I thought he made some formula, where the pixels from the video frames got converted and 'generalised' so the tiles would turn black and white, accordingly. And that he started with black and white, because that's easier ;p

..? What are you talking about? I watched only the top movie, I didn't care about the original. I'm talking about how he did it in WC3. It's done via images and showing and hiding them. He did have to do a conversion like that, but that is something you wouldn't do in WC3. You do it in some other, JPEG-handling programming language, and then input the results into WC3. That is how you 'create' the movie, but the mechanics that made the white and black 'tiles' is with images. (Black image underneath white image, so if you hide white image, you see black)
