Hi Zivnew,

Glad you like my version - albeit a bit rushed (took about an hour). I have uploaded it for you as an MP3 listed in the 'description' over on the right.

Enjoy

BTW: Machinima is using a games engine (SL or Halo for example) to create films - sort of real time, digital puppeteering capture live from your computer screen.

Great beat! I can't get enough of it !

Could you please let me know on which cd I could find this version? Thanks!!!

Hi zivnew - I arranged and sang this track just for the machinima test and glad you like it. If you want a higher quality version of the video and music there is a link at the bottom of the description. You could extract the better quality stereo from that to MP3 etc: AND it is in stereo which makes the beat sound even better ;-) Best Gary

lol I kept hoping for a movie for the longest. Maybe animation is the answer. The Second Life people should give it a thought.

: )
