Reading Radar

Just in case you thought the previous RezzedNecks episodes were a little odd… the next one promises to be a whole new level of weird.

It’s not what you think… well, not EXACTLY. Let’s just say that aliens look for information in all the wrong places. And I’ll bet Elvis wishes he was performing some lazy lounge act in Vegas right now.

Poke your eyes out now, and avoid the pain when it’s finally released! Speaking of released… something’s definitely in the air in this one.

I was looking around at Gwyneth Llewelyn’s blog today trying to assess the damaging impact it will have when she’s forced to post something I wrote on her site as part of the SL Blog Mix ‘n’ Match 2008, when I spotted her latest blog post and immediately forgot all about how I was going to unintentionally decimate her readership with my own clumsy and ignorant prose. What I saw was Tiny. No, really… Tiny!

I’ve been kicking around a little machinima project of my own based on a story I’m writing, so when I saw this, I immediately was interested on many levels. First off, it’s a funny video. Secondly, they know what they’re doing, and when someone knows what they are doing, you watch and learn. And appreciate true talent, just like with anything.

Here’s the link to the episodes page: http://www.illclan.com/tiny-nation

Job well done. Makes me ashamed of my own humble SL video efforts to date, they’re certainly amatuerish in the extreme. But it still inspires me to do better and keep going at the same time. Whether it’s Rezzednecks or an upcoming project, I have a lot to learn, and it’s gonna be a lot of fun!  That’s what makes SL great… there’s so many aspects of it to explore and things to do. Video, audio, in-world objects - content creation is not just a can-do with SL, it’s pretty much a must-do.
