New Groups worth taking a look at!

Greetings MAG members. It has been awhile since I have written to you. I would like to welcome the many new members and also give my heartfelt thanks to the old timers for sticking around.

Hello!

Thank You very much to the organisation, because i learnt very much watching all movies! each one -with prize or not- has something interesting to learn on it and shows a different point of view of how to "tale" a visual story, not only about the technical themes. I think this is the best side of this contest, to know and watch more different ways styles on filming, different points of view on machinimamaking. Continue

Art and Practice of Machinima Book Update - soliciting contributors

Not to meant as a shamless plug. A proposal for the book – Virtual Filmmaking: The Art and Practice of Machinima – is being reviewed by a publisher, who is very interested and soliciting some feedback from reviewers on the direction that they would like to take the book. Saying that, a large component of the book will include expert advice from professional machinima makers, many of whom represent the guild’s best. I have compiled the bios of those invited already by Lowe and myself, and am awai… Continue

Entering The world of SL with skills honed in the RL

Hi to Everyone reading my 1st post; It's always exciting to discover a new medium, a new way to express myself.

So, here I am with new tools to learn in a new medium that I never knew existed and yet even here there are stories to tell, roles to play out, and we have an opportunity to convey the world around us, in SL, in a way that can have a po… Continue

Who is Asil Ares?

Well ... Asil Ares is me ... the player behind Asil Karu and several other avatars with the first name of "Asil". I'm changing my profile name in this space, because I don't want the machinima I create to be so closely associated with my Asil Karu avatar. [I use Asil Karu as a gaming avatar ...she has a very specific backstory and when I'm using her in-world, she's usually involved in role-play and in-character.] If you want to contact the person behind these posts in-world, please contact Asil… Continue

Hello World

I did not expect such immediate feedback. Thank you. Let's get to the core. I am new to machinima, though I have recently performed in one, and have two projects in the wings with no hard dates or times for filming set. I will add the machinima, or a link, when I have uncovered the process here. I have significant theatrical experience. I am currently in rehearsal for an Ibsen production on SL "The Lady from the Sea", with a second original script (not mine) production yet to start. My persona… Continue
