Linden Lab launches their new website today featuring three new machinima videos made by ILL Clan Animation Studios. The featured videos created are: "What is Second Life," "Shop" and "Land." While "What is Second Life" offers a sweeping overview of the world where we work and play, "Shop," "Land," and the upcoming "Community" take a closer look at the cornerstones of SL, the activities that most users are bound to encounter.
We create a lot of machinima for many diverse clients, much of it shot in the virtual world of Second Life, so we were thrilled when the creators of Second Life, Linden Lab, contacted us to create machinima videos for them as part of their new website makeover. We'd like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who contributed to the production of these videos. The fantastic team at Linden Lab - Petra Linden, Brett Linden, JoRoan Linden, Jane Linden and Pink Linden.
And most of all, thank you to everyone in Second Life for making it the incredible place it is.

Our buddy Rik (rikomatic.com) and the team at Global Kids do some great work with youth leaders. Recently, a group of their New York high school students completed a year-long digital filmmaking program, the Virtual Video Project, which culminated with the premiere of their Second Life machinima called "Discovered." The film, produced entirely by the young filmmakers, is a fictional story about a Mexican teenager and explores the powerful issue of child sex trafficking. Congratulations to the team on a great job.

On May 16th, the Centers for Disease Control held a talk in Second Life about Swine Flu and the use of digital media as an educational tool. We were there to capture footage and create a film that documented the talk. Lawrence Pintak, Director of the Kamal Adham Center for Journalism Training and Research, Journalist and former CBS Middle East Correspondent summed it up with this statement - "Here in Cairo, the government has ordered that every single pig be killed. That’s something the WHO and other experts oppose. So we thought it appropriate to use this unique virtual bridge to allow our group here in Cairo – and bloggers participating in this event around the world – to learn a little more about how to get to the truth about the disease in order to better educate their audiences." Produced in collaboration with Dancing Ink Productions, this machinima video shows the highlights of the event. |
