Show us your Movies!

We plan to show off as much of SL's machinima as possible to the outside world in the coming months via several resident-media outreach initiatives. If you've got a great clip you'd like to show off, post a linkable URL here in this thread. You can also upload your video to our YouTube group at:

http://www.youtube.com/group/secondlife

or the Second Life channel at Machinima.com:

Thanks!

What is the best format for YouTube upload, so that audio and video stays in alignment? QuickTime seems to get out or sync.

Here is another site where you can upload and view Second Life Videos..

Question

I have not seen problems with my uploads in WMV. If you are using MAC, you would need to transcode. I think you can do that with AVS editor at $40 (easy find in Google).

I have posted a video story intended to show the possibilites of using SL video to make promotional content. Here is the link

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I14SU4R5vhk

This video promotes DrFran's dress-making class and Alinarae Vavoom's fashion enterprise. It incidentally (by product placement) promotes "Pirates of the Caribean." More generally, it promotes Seccond Life and the concept of using SL for outfacing work. By ourfacing, I mean work that goes out into the real world and (I hope) makes real moeny.

Real world companies are now moving into SL islands. They will want promotion to draw traffic. Entrepreneurs will develop ways to meet that demand. I am interested in working with people who want to make promotional videos for that purpose.

Here is a trailer to my company Robo Studios documentary on Second Life. The full film can be purchased through our website www.robostudios.com and eventually inworld.

Dale Moses is publishing an online book. He asked for somebody to do a commercial for him, free. So I did one for him:

awesome vid and i know what a difference night shift can make but I'm more on evening shift, and in WA to boot so I'm randomly in sync time wise with other members of my group but we find the time to have our fortnightly meetings and discussions so its good

This is just a silly video I made a few weeks ago, but I think it showcases how much fun you can have in Second Life.

Enjoy the "Miami Vice" intro (1:02 min), made from sequences taken out of Second Life!

I'm a film maker, i got interested in second life then realized its potential. Here is my first bit of machinima.

Feedback welcomed

Hi..only recently started putting together Machinima movies of performances by the ambient virtual rock band Strangefates, but it is proving to be fun. This is just one example of an event at 'Rydem's' Nightclub. Images were captured using fraps, and edited using a domestic ulead editor, then converted to mpg2 and uploaded onto youtube. Any advice on how to improve the clips is welcome.

Enjoy your SL's

oooh you should contact me
(http://shop.never30.com) <------- We need you!

The exploration video is pretty good...appropriate
music for it that's for sure...

MadamG did contact me and we have started plans for a promotional video. I am interested in pushing this idea, so here is some background. My video portfolio can be found on the YouTube Thinkerer Studios Channel
http://www.youtube.com/selbyevans

Examples of promotional videos are: Virtual Fashion; Broadway Live Island; Alinarae, Inc.; and He Silll watches.

I do not charge. This is demonstrational project. I have friends who sometimes work with me, and they may charge. If you know what you want to promote, I can write the scripts (audio and video), find a performing cast, get the vido and audio, edit to produce a finished video, and post on YouTube. I can also make a copy avaiable to you for download (in either .wmv or .mov).

I will, however, want to understand what you want to promote, who your audience is, and why they should be interested in what you have. I will also talk with you about what you can supply, such as visual content (objects, sites, avs), and audio content (narrative, dialogue, other VO, music). I will want work with you on Skype and/or my TeamSpeak server.

I am also looking for people to work with me in developing this project as a professional business, I don't intend to make money on ths, but I would like to spin off the work to people who do want to make money on it.
