Virtual Love

Where virtual love can bring you...

This machinima features "The Music box" (or "Three little turns and it goes away") by Josiane Sorciere, which won the 3rd Prize UWA 3D Open Art Challenge (March 2011 round) in Second Life®.
Many thanks to Josiane, who shown again her huge skills in pupeteering, in modifying her piece for this machinima, with new great and highly expressive animations.

Music by Sod'Araygua (jamendo.com).

Filmed in Second Life® (Oct 2011).

This machinima won the 4th prize at MachinimUWA IV: Art of the Artists (December 2011).

Reminiscent of the great Marcel Marceau! A perfect pantomime lovestory. As heartbreaking as a teardrop on a blind avatar's shirt. You are a master, Iono.

Congratulations Iono I won't repeat my raves here but they are back someplace in the many comments

@Larkworthy why you're right! I hadn't thought of it, but you're right, Larkworthy. Maybe that's why it strikes such a familiar and wistful chord in me.
