Royal I.d.P. Essploring Fundation

The world has no limits, neither do our egos

RIdPEF TV

The Von Mortekai manor has finally modernized it self. We have the gnom-o-TV! Well, it is colourless and it breaks down every two hours, even if our most talented engineers are actively working to improve the system.

But that did not stop our essplorers from filming themselves in long videos of essploration, but I let you discover that below. Good viewing !

RIdPEF videos

Coffee Induced Dreams

On April 25th 2010, the RIdPEF decides to start a big project : a video of about twenty minutes, in order to show the creative side of this community. A little like a machinima, a little like a technical demo, a little like Snoman or the MC-Addicts videos. In short, breaking WoW for a purely aesthetic purpose.

Over the Mists

Director : feangren

Once upon a time, there used to be a greaaaat manor who was in the middle of nowhere. Its inhabitants were... strange. They were very brave, always ready to go on an adventure. What they loved beyond anything else, was to travel, everywhere in Azeroth, and especially where no one has been before them. When new horizons were discovered, they were the first ones to be there to walk everywhere, to see if they could find fancy things.

Point of View

Point of View

A Warlock's Journey

Directed by Alizia@RIdPEF, with the help of his two disciples as actors Emérico@RIdPEF and Stéffanie/Eléonöre@RIdPEF, this amateur short film will discover you secret and unusual places in six Caverns of Time.

Wanderings of an Essplorer

This is the story of a draenei that got bored of fighting endless legions of demons, of undead. She was tired of the war. One day, she came to an ancient manor, where she found people sharing her passion : essploration. She became close friends to another draenei, a human and a troll. Together, they began to search for ancient mysteries, ancient land, and discover ancients secrets. This is their story.

Flight of the Wizard

After the discovery of Pandaria the Kirin Tor summoned the Wizard Trokair to Dalaran. There were more lands to catalog and they needed his keen eyes. The cloud serpents of the Pandaren were magical beasts, but they could not reach every height. The Magus Senate advised Trokair to meet members of the Silver Covenant at the peak of Neverest Pinnacle. There he received a mount capable of chasing any horizon. Where did his path lead next? This is his story.

The RIdPEF

The Royal IdP Essploring Fundation is the oldest exploration community still alive. Khamúl created this video to invite players to discover an "alternative" way of playing the game, mainly based on the pleasure of discovering. Go where most of the other player probably won't ever go. The film is also the occasion to introduce the RIdPEF community.

Videos we didn't make

Total Freedom

Total Freedom

A short and peculiar video. Most porbably very outdated. However with a unique touch. How ? It's an essploration video, a real one. Not an exploration one.

Rush

Rush

Machinima, essploration, two genres that cannot mix ? It seems that it is possible, and it even works well. Yume is an explorer known for his films "Nerf Slowfall" and "Nerf Slowfall 2". The second one already goes towards a more aesthetic experience.

nogg-aholic the movie

Nogg-aholic the Movie

Obviously it cannot be ignored. A historical film, which lays the foundations of what a great essploration film must be : long, varied, uncharted, and coming from nowhere.
