VID REC: The Lord of the Rings - The Call: A Hobbit Journey

Vidder: Lunna the Burg
Musical Artist: Regina Spektor
Length: 3:28
Vidder Website: on YouTube
Why you must watch this vid:
So, I'm trying to showcase the multifaceted nature of the LotR/Tolkien fandom, right? So I'm not going to link you all to the (many and wonderful!) vids using the movies. I'm trying for something a bit different here. This video is certainly that!

This video is a fan-creation filmed entirely in the video game world of The Lord of the Rings Online, an MMORPG. The video is the story of another hobbit that follows the path that Bilbo first took, from the Shire to Rivendell, with multiple allusions to the book. It's lovely, and the music really fits.

Be sure to check out Lunna's other vids filmed in the game, especially her Path of the Fellowship series, featuring the music of The Lonely Mountain Band, a Tolkien-themed filk group (The Path of the Fellowship: Part 3, Into Khazad-Dum (Song of Durin) is my especial favorite!).
