So, just might as well start a fresh!! But wait, “It’s Wednesday!” I hear you say… I KNOW THAT!!! Found this really cool vid, and instead of waiting for Tuesday to come (and since I’m writing and updating my blog once again), I’ve decided to post this today. **Kapish??**

So enjoy – A beautiful animation by Makoto Yabuki entitled “As One”.

Lights. Camera. Action!!!!! Fame and fortune here I come!!! HAHHAHAHHAH. I am excited, no wait… deliriously excited actually, that my machinima will be showing at tonight’s MaMachinima International Festival 2010.

‘MMIF 2010′ is the second edition of an annual film festival in 3D cyberspace with a screening in physical space (‘RL’). A seven hour movie marathon with a two hour afterparty.

“The MMIF is a celebration of ‘Machinima’: a new cinematic art form, created with virtual worlds and video games. On 3D Internet platforms like Second Life®, any kind of movie sets can be build for very low costs. The MMIF aims to bring machinima to a wider audience, online – and offline.

Machinima artists from all over the world are present in real time at the virtual MMIF Theatre. They present over 50 short films and have talks with other machinimatographers and an international audience.” – mmif.org

If you are in-world, why not pop over to the event and experience the best in machinima. The event kicks off at 11am SLT and will be showcasing the works of great artists like Chantal Harvey, Bryn Oh, Lainy Voom, Hadji Ling, Colemarie Soleil, Iono Allen, and many many great artists….

We Survived The Bad Boys!!!

Xineohp — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 13:38:48 +0000

Phew!!! What a weekend in SecondLife…… I think I’m just about recovered from all the partying and art events in-world. As you know, the weekend started with the 5th BluBoys Sandbox Art Group event over at the NewBerlin sim from 12pm till 4pm SLT on Friday. That was great fun and full of creative builds and artists (pictures and vid yet to come once I recovered!!). Afterwhich, I popped round over to Hiaka and helped my buddy Josh get ready for his anniversary party planned for Sunday (and yes… pics and vid to come soon). Saturday night was Hollywood Babylon Gala over at the PRIDE sim.

Sunday.. ahhh Sunday!! The day started with a frantic shopping rush for new clothes and shoes… hahhahhahahha. Hell yeah, can’t expect The Twin’s to be wearing the same outfit twice in a weekend, can we now?

It was a black & white theme party over at The Bad Boys. So, iTony and I rushed all over SL, grabbed a black strappy pair of shoes and a black&white babydoll dress, a black riding hat…. and a whip!!! OF COURSE!!!

Off we went to The Bad Boys to whip some bad ass!!! HAHHAHHAH ….. Here are some snaps for your delight (click on the thumbnails to view LARGE!!!).

It has been a busy and manic week for me, both in real life as well as in Secondlife. This weekend is one big giant rollercoaster circus of FUN!!!! The weekend started on Friday with the 5th BluBoys Sandbox Art Group event in SecondLife over at the NewBerlin sim from 12pm till 4pm SLT. The wonderful and kind folks over at NewBerlin have generously hosted our event – A collaborative art event with artists, djs and musicians as well as visual media streaming happening in sandboxes in SL.

Saturday was Hollywood Babylon Gala over at the PRIDE sim. It was a charity event to raise funds for the SL Pride event later in the year. Anyway, earlier in the week, my dear friend and partner-in-grime iTony and I was chatting away .. you know, usual stuff like “Guess what? I just saw an avie with the biggest feet in SL” – that sort of things HAHHAHHAHAHAH. (btw, itony did the movie showing at the gala – hundreds and hundreds of hours putting together footages into a FAB movie!!! A MUST SEE OSCAR WINNNING movie clip!!! Was that a bit much? But seriously, you guys must go see it.. way cool!!!)

So, where was I? Ahh yes, PRIDE. Hollywood….. Well… to cut the story short, we became The Starlet Slut Twin. ROFL…… WonderTwins Power ACTIVATE!!!

Here are some snaps for your delight (click on the thumbnails to view LARGE!!!). I’m off getting ready for tonight’s “attack” of The Starlet Slut Twin. We’re heading over to the Brighton Bad Boys Party at 2pm SLT and then over to my dear friends Josh & Stan’s anniversary party in Hiaka. Tooodaloooo peeps!!

Helllloooooo groovy cats – It’s Tubesday Tuesday!!! (Ok, it’s actually Wednesday as I forgot to publish this post yesterday… hee hee hee). For today’s Tubesday, I’d like to feature an amazing singer, musician and artist – Fredo Viola.

It’s Tubesday – “Push” by tracechops

Xineohp — Tue, 05 Jan 2010 18:27:04 +0000

I’ve decided to do a regular column called “Tubesday Tuesday”. It’s an idea inspired by my RL buddy RandyDandy (yup!! THAT American expat in London). You gotta love YouTube, eh? So…. “Tubesday Tuesday” is all about the cool vids out there, and for the first “Tubesday Tuesday” I’d like to feature an amazing machinima by tracechops.

“This film is a little bit of an experiment – what would happen if I gave myself 1 week to film, $50 and made the very first thing that popped into my head, no matter how ridiculous the idea, trying to go with the flow, being productive rather than procrastinating, and not over thinking anything (having previously felt constrained through creating a poem in a very strict style, and this was a way of trying to shake that off).

The result is difficult to explain, it loosely represents how humans are tied to the mechanics of time, we can relive the past through memories, or imagine the future, but our physical bodies cannot stop being a part of time, evolutionary time etc, but nothing too serious!” – tracechops

All I Want For Christmas

Xineohp — Wed, 23 Dec 2009 02:36:11 +0000

It’s been a very looooong day for me today – mainly work and the Christmas stress. I was about to do my Scrooge-bah-humbug when I received an email from a friend of mine over on YouTube which put a great BIG smile on my face. He has sent me a link to an animation he’s made in-world to spread the Christmas cheer.

Click on the media player to watch the movie clip. I guarantee it will put a smile on your face and warm your heart!!!

Merry Christmas everyone & a Happy New Year!!!

Went back today to take a few more test shots over at Force Planet and testing out the scripted cam that I wrote to use in-world for my machinima. The reason for writing the script is so as to allow me to do a smooth cam transition from slowmo, zoom, pan, rotate etc etc using only the keyboard – no mouse or joystick. Here’s the result of my further testing.

“Prepare to be overwhelmed by the arresting mix of light, sound, and color on display on each of Force Planet’s many levels. This is a visually stunning gallery that celebrates the wonders of the natural world.” - SecondLife showcase

Click on the media player to watch the movie clip. Many thanks once again to iTony Pleides for allowing me to fool around (and test out the scripted cam that I wrote) over at his beautiful build and sim, Force Planet…

Force Planet – Test Shoot

Xineohp — Sun, 13 Dec 2009 15:24:48 +0000

I’ve been scripting the last few days, for a scripted cam to use in-world for my machinima. The script is to allow me to do a smooth cam transition from slowmo, zoom, pan, rotate etc etc using only the keyboard – no mouse or joystick. A smooth motion without the need to set up way-points.

Today, I decided to give the cam script that I wrote a road-test. So I IM’d my friend iTony over at Force Planet to see if I can goof about with the cam script down at his amazing build and sim. Here’s a short machinima of the result. Click on the media player to start the video.

I’m not too pleased with it still, as it’s still a little “jaggy” ….. Ah well never mind, back to the drawing board!!!

Many thanks to iTony Pleides for allowing me to capture his fantastic build and sim. You guys must so check it out if you are in-world.
