MACHINIMA MAGIC!!!

I found this machinima in my meanderings on the internet and was simply blown away by the cinematography. This is a Second Life adaptation of a Brazilian folk tale , produced by SpyVSpy productions. I imagine, as a kid, what it would be like to to watch a story being presented in this manner and how entharlling it would be to me. I am increasingly amazed at the movies, (for in my opinion, this truly IS a movie to me) that are being produced in Second Life. As we continue our journey in Second Life , it will be interesting to see just how far over the rainbow we get to go! I hope you enjoy this machinima as much as I did!

SECOND LIFE IMMITATES REAL LIFE MOVIE!!

I came across this machinima that is in a long list of the ever increasing examples of how Second Life is Life imitating Art imitating Life imitating Art.

' Dinner for One' is an original theatre sketch written by British author Lauri Wylie . Amazingly, this was written in 1920 and maintains its comedic value. In 1963 a German television station recorded a performance of this comedy sketch which became not only well-loved and oft watched but also became somewhat of a cult piece in various parts of Europe. The first video clip is created by Wichtel-Film Productions, courtesy of Megan Merlin, a machinimist in Second Life. The likeness to the real television clip is uncanny. I suggest watching Megan's version and then the original television version.Grab some popcorn, sit back and enjoy!

BIG ADVENTURES WITH TINIES !!!!!

Have you been looking for a place that can ... indulge your fantasies, stimulate your imagination, allow you to step into a world that is both real and unreal? No…no…it’s NOT what you’re thinking!!!!! Loco Pocos, or the land where Tinies have been re-invented, is more than just a place where you can purchase a “tiny”. Rather, it’s a place where you can engage your mind, your imagination and your sense of adventure. Upon arrival, you will be facing the Loco Pocos store. You will see a vendor that allows you to ‘buy’ a free tiny avatar! Go on….you KNOW you want to!!!! If you do an immediate about face, you will see 2 signs. One sign says ‘Fishing’ and the other sign says ‘Adventure’. Personally I would choose adventure over fishing ANY day. The beauty of SL, however, is that you can indulge in both!! The idea is to explore the island and try to find the portal to the dreams. HINT: it’s at the heart of the tree. There is also an area that has some hilarious machinima that is well worth a watch! So take some time to explore and look around. If you need any help, there is a lovely tiny there by the name of Zarah Larsson. Tell her Alexxa sent you!!! ENJOY!!!!
