No matter how dark the world around, love can still prevail.

Raised from the grave to serve the powers of darkness, a man and a woman find a spark of light in each other. But with the Lich King's cold gaze upon them, love may be punishable by death.

Death Knight Love Story is the ground-breaking first performance capture film from Hugh Hancock, the man who coined the term "Machinima".

It uses the same "performance capture" techniques as the blockbuster "Avatar". It is a not-for-profit film, and so it will be released for free online later in 2010.

Based within the epic setting of the computer game World of Warcraft, and starring the voices of Joanna Lumley, Jack Davenport, Anna Chancellor, and Brian Blessed, Death Knight Love Story represents a new evolution for independent filmmaking.
