Thesis statement for Machinima

Machinima is a new form for creating short movies. Producers, such as Risen Fall, have used this technique for creating movies. This artform is a very cost and time effective form of filmmaking within a virtual space combining animation, gaming and artificial intelligence.

This is Apocalypse. It is hard to tell what it was intended for. There is not really anything in the buildings and a lot of the people there are dressed in dark black and leather clothes. The outfits are some of which you would see on prostitutes. They are somewhat friendly but they want us to only talk in the chat IM box. You are not allowed to fly or do several other things in that area which is a major disappointment since there isn’t really anything to do there anyway. There is a park and that is all that I found that would want to make me go there.

I thought that it was neat that there was a Christmas tree and a train going around it in a castle that was almost bare.

I also thought that it was weird that there were floating balls in the castle above the bed

Themiskyra 1


I thought that it was weird that there was a sail boat in an area that look like an old village.

This is a group librarian photo along with KierstenAbbie Mnemonic. It was taken inside of a building on Info Island.

Solar Exhibit


This is the solar information place on top of one of the buildings on Info Island. It gives information about the planets and about the solar system. There are pictures that help show what the note cards are talking about.

Chakryn Forest is where that was from. I never saw anyone there besides the person that I went there with. We found some neat old statues. You are allowed to fly in this place unlike some of the others that I have been to

Let Me Introduce my Second Life


My avatar is a self image. He has a dark colored goatee with little to no hair on the head. He is also tan since in the summer I usually get darker tan. He is wearing a t-shirt which I usually wear all through-out the year. The jeans are a baggy and boot cut at the shoes. He is taller than I would be and more muscular. This is going to be the standard physical appearance; the clothes will change as I find new clothes through-out second life that I like. I made the changes because I wanted it to look more like me. I wanted the avatar to look as much like me as I could with a few modifications. I did not ask for input on how I looked because I really don’t care what people think about me. I have not spent any money on my appearance everything has been free. I like the way I look in Second Life because that is a lot like I look in real life. There are some changes I would like to make, I haven’t found them yet but I know that there are some that I want to change.
