Symposium Machinima: Calisto Meets His Maker

CDB Barkley (aka Alan Levine) : Aug 17, 2007 06:53pm

We are so excited to share the work of one of the participants at this week’s NMC Symposium on Creativity on Second Life. Calisto Encinal (aka James Abraham, Glendale Community College) participated in the Machinima Studio Session, where he created Calisto Meets His Maker, a creative look at not just a virtual world, but…. well, I don’t want to give any of it away.

Just watch!

As Calisto notes in his blog:

I kicked around ideas for a couple of days, but nothing seemed to be grabbing me. As the deadline loomed, I struggled to find a topic more interesting than just walking around. Luckily, Thursday morning I awoke with a spark of creativity. I literally got out of bed, sat down and wrote the script… Most of the morning was spent getting the technology in place. I ended up using Fraps for the in-world capture and Windows Movie Maker for the editing. I captured the in-world video and RL scenes in the afternoon and started editing that evening. Friday, Maali Beck (my dance partner) and I did the voice-overs and I did the final editing.

We hope to screen more efforts from the Studio session participants….
