This is my first attempt at making machinima and as I wish to share it for a specific educational purpose have had to load this first fragment of a fuller piece. Hardware and processing power has limited my efforts but this is a start. Apologies in advance!

It was fun hanging over the side filming these dolphins having fun riding our yacht Silver Cloud's bow wave. We were north of Fraser Island in Queensland on our 2005 cruise. Music is an extract from Leo Kottke's "Watermelon", 6 & 12 string guitar. Enjoy.

This short film plays much like a music video and tells a tale of one man's escapism and search for a 'better place' in a virtual world. The music is written and performed by Angryman.
