Alright no offense, but this looks like any other secondlife video. Do you really thinks this will bring more exposure to machinima?

[CecilHirvi]

To be clear: I think this film would help bring exposure to machinima as a platform for alternative storytelling and as a viable artform. Things that I don't see being utilized by similar machinima makers.

"Things that I don't see being utilized by similar machinima makers..."

Don't wish to discourage you there, but now I doubt if you even know about Machinima channel on youtube. It has hundreds of machinima with storylines, few even from secondlife. Anyways, goodluck with your project.

[CecilHirvi]

Oh I am very familiar with the Machinima channel. The majority of works there are fight/music video fiascos that offer very little in the way of thought-provoking ideas. Umm..if you can tell me specifically what works compare to mine and I will look at them. And, don't worry, be as open as you like. There is no way YOU could ever discourage me. :)

Either you are completely ignorant or just plain arrogant. And aren't you supposed to find great work online yourself? I.e., if you are good learner or striving for it? If not, I don't wish add more to this. Machinima channel in my opinion hosts only best of machinima around the globe.

[CecilHirvi]

Well Gavril, to say something hosts the "best of machinima around the globe" without providing specifics and throwing around generalities shows a tremendous amount of arrogance and ignorance on your part. YOU made the claim and if you can't support it..than that says more about your lazy, disrespectful attitude. You sound more like a shill for the machinima channel. How much are the paying you to go around promoting their site? Hope it's enough. :)

Hey, looks like good attempt. But I'm sure many would agree with me when I say, this one doesnt looks the best at all. Many machinimists have made better sl machinima. You should check them out :-)

[CelestialElf]

Well done, love it :D

[GavrilDryke]

I'm a rl video editor & work on copyrighted works, so not allowed to upload them on websites and I think you should watch more videos online and try not to limit yourself within a self-built box and stop making rediculous claims that you invented something cause it was already there and in much better form. You just discovered it only now.

Thanks trace

You might be right. But it isn't all about how it "looks". It's about the story and characters as well...something most people don't focus on.
