Hello,
i've never posted here, but I've read quite a lot. I find machinema very fascinating, and that is the reason I want to attempt to set up a series using SL. It will be in a science fiction setting, where time travel will be the central plot line.
I am currently planning and writing the first two episodes, and if these go well, I plan to continue the series. I do not have a fixed budget yet, but I believe I can mange to scrape together something of $ 1500 - 3000 for the first two episodes (of each about 45 minutes planned).
Because of this, I am looking for people in all kinds of directions who might be willing to help. This means actors, builders, scripters, animators, texturers... you name it. I didn't quite know where to start, and I hope I am not violating any forum rules with this post, but if you think you can help, contact me. You can do this in SL, of by email: [email]michiel@rommix.nl[/email].
Initially this request is for the first two episodes, but if it is decided the series continues, you will be offered a more or less permanent job.

I have considerable experience in making videos in SL. You can see 24 of my videos at YouTube. One of the most recent and story-like is The Last Chance Bar:

You cna find the others by searching YouTube for selbyevans.

I have several collaborators who are experienced in various aspects of what you mention and some you did not mention, such as voice acting. An example iis given in this link:

I also have an island, Thinkerer Quests, which I use for video sets and takes. Since I can control acccess, I can control the server load.

You can see my instructiuonal materials on making videos at this link:

I am particularly intersted in story presentation with SL. I would be interested in working with you on the presentation of a science fiction story, assuming that I see a promising story in what you have. If the story looks like it can get wide circulation. I would work with you on some kind of sharing arrangement, without fee. Some of my collaborators, would need to be paid.

I fou you can Skype, I would link to have a preliminary converstion with you by that method.
