These are the major success stories that I love since I was a teenager — the music, the story, and visuals of amazing fantasy worlds.
Music
Dual of the Fates -
John Williams
My main inspiration comes from this famous composition. The arrangement shows how emotions, dynamics and cinematics are all managed through pure traditional orchestra. I like the powerful ostinato, addicting melody on top, epic choir for power and low organic drone for a dark atmosphere.
Story
Lord of the Rings - John Ronald Reuel Tolkien
An amazing story about a fantasy world that was constantly in war. From the first age until the fourth age the world has developed in a rational and exciting way. Gods, Races, The World, The countries, The Cultures and Magic. It all is evolving through a well-though story.
Visual
World of Warcraft &
Lord of the Rings
As an old gamer of world of warcraft, I was always impressed with the visuals they generated a long time ago. Unique fantasy world, with different races who all live in a different way. Lord of the Rings is for me by far the best fantasy world visually in a "realistic" setting.
