I almost linked this beautiful Second Life video the other day, but didn’t. Now New World Notes has an extended article describing how it was made.
Some interesting things to think about with this:
- This was done in a multiplayer world. There’s nothing multiplayer about it. The power here comes from the ease of construction, not the setting. This could have been made in Maya or 3DStudio Max. But I bet the presence of an avatar adds a lot to the vibe.
- The movie is, to my mind, art. In other words, it’s art in the form of machinima, made with a VW as a tool. But I am less sure that the in-world installation would be or was as powerful — the lack of music, of narrative, and so on, probably made it far less compelling.
