Final Fantasy XIII's Lightning in Second Life

I just started using Second Life recently and I decided to make my avatar look like Lightning. She's a very popular lady at the moment so I'm sure a ton of people have done this already, but I liked how she turned out so I wanted to show her off a little ;)

Credits:

Video was filmed at Templum ex Obscurum: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Templum+ex+Obscurum/128/128/63

I bought the sword animation from: https://www.xstreetsl.com/modules.php?name=Marketplace&file=item&Item...

The song is "Lightning's Theme" by Masashi Hamauzu: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ke281MBhpDg

I made her whole outfit from scratch, except for the skin which I modified from Eloh Eliot's Le skin texture: http://www.vintfalken.com/free-full-perm-female-skin-textures/

I also found Natalia Zelmanov's 4-part hair tutorial very helpful: http://www.mermaiddiaries.com/2007/02/day-142-creating-prim-hair-part-4-flexi...

Who is that guy in the back?

@stargamer117 He's my camera ninja =)

I used a second avatar to film some of the shots, though I probably should've made him less conspicuous.

Very lovely video! Out of curosity, did you use anything in game for the camera movenments? For example from 0:44 - 0:57 and 1:34 - 1:46. If its not a problem could you explain to me what you used or how you did it? I would really like to know how this is done if you don't mind.

@NethyV2 Thanks! I didn't know any special camera tricks at the time that I made the video. Most of the camera moves were just me moving the mouse while holding ALT+Click. Now that I have a bit more experience, I would recommend changing the 'ZoomTime' parameter under Advanced > Debug Settings to get the same shots but smoother. However, for the sequences where the camera follows her as she's walking, I just used ALT+Click to lock the camera while logged in as a second avatar.

Anyway, how the HECK did you get your avatar to look like an exact REPLICA of Lightning?? INCREDIBLE!! O.o

That's as good as possible, accuracy-wise!

0:24 - That works so well.
