Archival Footage: Librarians of Second Life ® March 17, 2007 (HD 720p)

This video/machinima, filmed on St. Patrick's Day, March 17, 2007, was created for aposter session at the Association of College & Research Libraries (ACRL) 2007Conference in Baltimore, March 29-April 1, 2007. Abbey Zenith, Puglet Dancer and HVX
Silverstar collaborated on the 3 posters and accompanying two-part machinima. The original postings of the two-part machinima onto YouTube have received a combined 6,754 hits. This HD 720p version combines the two original machinima that were originally captured at 1280x720 and the introductory clip with me logging into SL was recorded as DVCPRO50 720p. The
assorted clips were meant to spark conversation or catch people's attention as they walked through the ACRL poster session. Abbey and Puglet had a couple of hundred people stop to chat. Clips include: gathering of librarians, some SL tricks, flips, animations, morphs & dance moves, the reference patio, tour of the second generation library on Info Island and a look at some of the ThinCbooks on displaly, and then moving onto a Friday night party at Abbey's original TX950 Club on Cybrary City... Pirates, Priests, Nuns, Cowboys, Aliens & Librarians dancing up a storm. Filmed on location in the very beautiful Second Life®.
