Rocky Horror Picture Show in SL

Ok, rahter than continue to hijack another thread to ask this, I'll start a new one (for other people to hijack)

Who all would be interested in in-world showings of the Rocky Horror Picture Show?

Im thinking I can cut the movie into about 1 frame every couple of seconds, and either stream the sound or upload it. I can also offer a private teamspeak server so we can all do the callbacks (even if you dont have a mic you can still listen).

Would there be enough people interested in this that it would be worth me spending TONS of L$ uploading frames of the movie? I figure if it oges over well, eventually I can ul more of the movie until i have it all running at about 2 FPS.

If there are enough interested parties I will start chopping up the movie and building a theater tonight.

Sounds very cool! You can use my theater if you want, too. Check my Picks for a tp to the Bijou.

I love the Rocky Horror Picture Show. I have a Columbia avitar I'm interested.

awsome... do you already have a method in place to show a full length motion picture?

Oh, and you do realize that we'll be making a mess of the place, throwing rice, toast, hot dogs, toilet paper, etc... right?

oh of course we will need a "cast" to perform the show on stage while the movie plays... and to do the preshow (which we will have to do anyways to give all the textures enough time to load before we "start the fucking flick"

Ohhhhh. We need an animator to do the time warp for us

I'd be in!

ABSOLUTLY! I've been wanting that anywaz... Any volunteers? (I'd pay, but this is already going to cost me a couple hundred US$ (that i dont really have to waste) just to ul the movie)

Yes! Yesyesyes.

And it so happens, a friend I dragged into SL is an actual RHPS stage player. I'll see if I can convince them to join in. :>

Count me in, I like to be KINKY *strokes my beard*
In fact, I was talking to someone just the other day about finding or having the Time Warp animation made. I'll see if I can have that done, and contribute it freely to the group.

Now, where are those Rocky Horror Picture Show VIRGINS!

BTW, there are "TVs" in SL that display many frames of video. You may find them in sexual clubs in the Escort rooms and such.

This is going to be fun!

hehehe.... yeah, I've done my time on stage too. I have the whole bloody movie memorized (still, and I havn't done Rocky for years now) I've got a friend ripping the movie for me as we speak, so i can start cutting it up when I get home.

Now the question is should I cut the sound up into 10 second chunks and upload it (much higher cost for all this, but will probably sync better) or do I stream the sound onto the land (cheaper, but wont sync as well)

I think perhaps the audio at least should be not chopped. The vid could be indivdual frames, advanced by manually clicking to keep it in sync I suppose. Better would be short segments of movies, perhaps manually advanced to the next when the audio came up.



I've done my time on stage, grinz, and won a prize for faking an orgasm! Then they had 3 women chase me around the theatre to get their bras back LOL. And being tall, I loved it when they finally caught up to me and could not reach high above my head.

That would be AWSOME!



If I build it, they will cum



Yes, i've seen these, and have a similar idea in mind, but im thinking of a slight varation on them, due to the sheer volume of textures that will have to be displayed in sequence (and thus preloaded to everyone from behind the curtain during preshow). but I think ive got a handle on that. Once I start uploading I might need the help of some more experienced scripters to get it working just right. I'm only a hobbiest programmer myself... and I taught programming for 3 years but you know what they say, "thos who can, do. those who can't, teach"



Yes. yes it is... but its also going to be bloody expensive. I might have to charge admission to try and recoupe some $L unles i get lots of donations. I'll keep everyone posted on this.

Searching SL for Rocky Horror reveals 2 places. It looks like AVs and clothing. I'll check it out further.

crap... well my friend who is ripping the movie for me just informed me that all he has is the fullscreen version... which sucks... I think I'll see if i can't download a widescreen version when i get home.

edited to add: Ok I just VNC'd into my machine at home and started a download of the widescreen version. Man this is gunna rock.

Lets Do The Time Warp Again!

Count me in! I love the idea and have just the costume for my AV.

actually, i'm surprised this isn't already a weekly happening already! how could something so obvious never have come to fruition as of now? simply amazing..

BUT, yes. apparently there would be interest.. enough to build a cast, film at least one performance, AND to have a healthy thrusting, cross-dressing audience as well!

if this happens, i suggest making it a scheduled performance at least once a month. also, there should be a nice sticky floored theatre to go see it in!


in other words, i endorse this idea/project

waaay ahead of you. ^_^ I'm gunna do a weekly showing (at least) and build a theatre just for this.

and as the title of your post suggests, yeah, we need scripted items to throw (toliet paper, hot dogs, rice, etc)... anyone wanna volunteer for that? also anyone wishing to help me absorb some of the cost of uploading THOUSANDS of frames of file can contact me in-world. thanx ^_^

I'm moving this over to Events Discussion Forum so it doesn't get lost in Off-Topic Land.

AWESOME idea...simply AWESOME!!!

I love RHPS!

all I can say is WOOT hehe

Thank you Jeska! ^_^

ok guys... im finally off work and in world for a couple hours (so why the hell am I wasting time in the forums?) IM me in world if you want to contribute in any way, or post here and I'll see it in the morning. Got the movie downloaded and am chopping it up as we speak.

Oooooo, I love the idea of a Rocky party! Uh, I hate to be a Brad... (Say! Do any of you guys know the Madison?) but what's the legalities of displaying copyrighted material, like the Rocky Horror movie, over the Internet like this? Would this be covered as a fair use of the movie?

I'd really like to see the party go on...but I know from experience at running RL Science Fiction/Fantasy conventions that people can get their noses bent out of shape about this kinda thing.
