[Bthendor]

The 3 dislikes come from George Lucas, Steven Spielberg, and James Cameron, Eric... pure jealousy! Well done, man. This is a jewel.

[BlitzRageSecondlife]

[BlitzRageSecondlife]

This is just incredible! The best I have seen! Well done mate! :)

[TheWapower]

[borslegov]

Awesome video, I was really drawn into it. Man I realise I have to learn so much yet, I just move my camera to much, and etc..... I can only say amazing.

[ace219]

gj with it i see why that won that very gj with gave it a big like vote gj ag

[BaySweetwater]

This is groundbreaking. Awestruck congratulations, Eric. We should stop talking about whether this was shot in SL or not and ask you to give a talk in SL about how you made this amazing vid. Your idea of making a video explaining the techniques is a good one.

[TheWapower]

@BaySweetwater

I'm definitely going to make a video sooner or later about how i do most of my tricks in Second life. But right now i'm in the process of moving, so i'm a little swamped!

[drseymour]

That's all kinds of excellent, well done.

[frantaag]

An amazing work of art, one which will inspire many, im still searching SL for those wonderful machines... a search that has already led to new possibilities. ..

[MisoSusanowa]

Really entertaining video (machinima is video) with a story, arc and characters. Excellent! And my didgeridoo snuck in there too! :D Well-deserved winner.

[cffbaddcde]

Congratulations on your win, it was well deserved. I would have been annoyed if you hadn't...:))

[Jinxxed0]

are you sure this isnt SL cause I didnt see any neko's or n00bs holding whine glasses and bling scripted giant shades.

jk, lolz

[freebieman217]

omg man this deserves so many more views! subbed ad faved

[SherryNoyes100]

Love the video and I am sure an inspiration for other machinima makers to up their game!! Well done.

[WhiteLebed]

After reading that "This entire machinima was shot in Secondlife" a few times here and there I guess it will be quite rude to ask "are you absolutely sure that it was made in SL??", so I will not ask..

I will just say that my SL doesn't look like yours and my avatar doesn't move like yours, etc.

Amazing editing technique :) congrats!

[TheWapower]

@WhiteLebed

Maybe i should upload a little video showing the animations/locations and avatars i used for juroney. Probably should make it more easier to recognize :P

[MaryWickentower]

@WhiteLebed If your avai does not move like that, perhaps you need to upgrade your AO. I am very familiar w/that hands in the pocket animation; I used it to create a male AO and I can attest to the fact that it is very much SL. The appearance of smoother movement is the result of very careful editing , short "bursts" and slowing down the frames. Superb job. (and congrats on the well deserved win)

[ninacamplin]

Amazing machinima, I just keep watching this over and over!

Definitely gets my vote!

[arrowinglewood]

Absolutely awesome ride!

Wondering how much it would be for a delivery to 945 Battery St., San Francisco?

[alorja1]

I liked your movie. good shots, a funny story and an entertaining narrative. Very well done

[PhoenixEmbers]

Yeah, Jay, its indeed amazing. Wish I could get a hold on that animations, lol. I am definately jealous! :-)

[jayjayzifanwe]

Juroney is certainly amazing !

[textcavation]

You should consider it an honor that some people thought it was NOT filmed in Second Life. A lot of SL machinima are marked as SL, but with the professional use you made of complex animations and professional editing, you worked around that so well. I would love to know how your avatar seized that sign post. Did you have special animations made for you? Stunned and amazed....

[TheWapower]

@textcavation

The sign was actually edited in in Vegas. until it grabbed it. But while i do find it a compliment that people think that this isnt in SL. I dont want it to lower my chances of winning because if the judges start believing its not in SL, i might not really get any good ratings about it since its an SL contest. So i'd rather have people know for sure that its all in SL. :P even tho it is nice to know i made it look unlike it.

[textcavation]

@TheWapower Gotcha. :) I meant no disrespect for Second Life machinima, which is an excellent source for filming, especially if you are resourceful. And ALL platforms have their earmarks--especially the gaming machinima. It's taken me three years to know how to manipulate SL enough to film in it. (I believe we've submitted to the same contest.) :) I'm thinking of the prejudicial stance that Genero.tv has taken against SL music videos, and how annoyed it made me.

[textcavation]

@TheWapower Post Script: GOOD LUCK!!

[TinBryn]

Just a typical trip to UWA then?

[TheWapower]

@TinBryn A Journey to deliver a package to the UWA sim. sort of, a trip yeah :P

[littleMerlin1]

wow that was cool

[TutsyNavarathna]

Ouahh great work ! maybe i met you in some wasteland ? ,)

[TheWapower]

@TutsyNavarathna

Probably!, i used to live there for about 2 years in the Junkyard, fissure, and malady bogg

[Azza1070]

wtf?

[PhoenixEmbers]

Fantastic! Enjoyed that a lot. I had to smile when I saw the McGuffin at the end - cool idea of a self-thematizing story.

[J0E90]

Stunning camerawork, editing, sound effects and music. What kind of graphics card do you have to get those visuals, if I may ask?

[TheWapower]

@J0E90

ATI 5970. But i wouldnt recommend it. Most support for ATI cards isnt fantastic :(

[rockerfaerie]

Good work here :)

[Wurfii]

Excellent !

[obscureredninja]

nice

[philena30]

WoW.. Good Luck on the Machinima Contest.

[TikafViper]

embedding this straightaway on my site under "best of machinima" ;-)

[AphoticGloom]

Fantastic once again Eric!

[ArbitDelacroix]

I'd leave a more coherent comment but I'm too busy picking my jaw up off of the floor. This rocks!

[BebopVox]

Finally, someone has brought the respect of Machinima back to SecondLife. It's been a long time since a Secondlife video was worth a gamers attention span. If you play Secondlife, it should be a default to subscribe to this man.

[TheWapower]

Thanks for the awesome Comments everyone!

[CelestialElf]

very cool production, beautiful shots and audio, great vehicles, best of luck :D

[ciskovan]

excellent use of anims - puppets and obj. love the MadMax vehicles. great sounddesign. guess the title is misstyped for google search reasons .-))

overall a 5star SL production.

congrates upfront !!

[Ionoallen]

Waww !! Very nice camera, excellent rythm, especially at the beginning ; well, all is excellent !

I am also impressed by what you managed to do with animations in SL.

Top of the top.

[RunningLadyStudios]

Fantastic work! Story, environment, everything. It really shows what can be done in SL.

Suzy Yue

[jayjayzifanwe]

haha very nice at the 7 minute mark :)

[MaryWickentower]

Fantastic! Lots of hours of work there...Best of luck to you, Eric Bocarra !

[T1Brit]

Very atmospheric - the music is really well chosen. And the future-chaos machinery is cool as f*ck.

[TikafViper]

and the winner is ...



[filmqueen]
