Film/Machinima: MachinimUWA III: Journeys Winners
Posted: May 22, 2011 Filed under: Film/Machinima, UWA 4 Comments »
We are at the MachinimUWA III: Journeys Winners award ceremony at the UWA – BOSL Grand Amphitheatre. This machinima challenge started on February 4, 2011 and since then received 50 entries. Today is the grand finale with a L$660,000 prize pool (First price, second price, third prize, Peter Greenaway Prize, Open This End prize and seven special prizes). I think this is the most crowded event I have been to in Second Life. I can’t see the stage and I lost voice, but I’m using Metaverse TV Live to follow it all. The event started off with a speech by Peter Greenaway and was followed by the handing out of awards by Jayjay Zifanwe. There were two grand prize winners, Tutsy Navarthna (Journey Into the Metaverse) and Eric Boccara (Juroney). Congratulations to the winners and to all who participated in this incredible event!

Film/Machinima: Linden Endowment of the Arts (LEA)

I’m at the opening of the Month of Machinima (MOM) at the Linden Endowment of the Arts. Courtney Linden began with opening remarks and then introduced other LEA Committee Members, like Rhett Linden, Chantal Harvey, Sasun Steinbeck and Jajay Zifanwe to speak as well. Then part of the sim crashed just as the showing of the 13 short films was about to begin. I had to use a link to youtube to see them. Nice event, but too bad about all these Second Life glitches.
