"Better Life" was shot entirely in Second Life, with the story, animation, props, and camera work all by Rob Wright, known in the Second Life community as Robbie Dingo. The soundtrack is by the British band "Angry Man." It tells the story of a paraplegic dreaming of a different life through the haze of work at the keyboard and screen; an appropriate mix of images and themes for a film made in a virtual world called "Second Life." A lower-quality (smaller filesize), streamed version is available via Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6D9K9xTmt0 -- HEL --- "'Better Life' was my first attempt at making a machinima film; or any film come to that. Shot entirely in Second Life the only post production processes I used were in the cross-fading of scenes, addition of the soundtrack and the end credits. I was inspired to make this film after seeing the 'Silver Bells and Golden Spurs' movie by Eric (Linden) Call, (Snr. Artist, Linden Lab). Really I just wanted to see if I could do it, and wanted to find out what would be involved in taking a project such as this through to the end. The film plays much like a music video and tells a tale of one man's escapism and search for a 'better place' in a virtual world. Having first identified the music I wanted to use and decided upon the general story line, I created the props and story-boarded the whole film using a series of in-world snapshots. This allowed me to get a view of the pace, continuity and balance of the film before committing to any filming. I was surprised by how much this felt like making a real world film, moving the actor and 'camera man' (my alternative avatar) into position, checking the lighting and at times having to wait for things not directly under my control to be right, the cloud density for example. Second Life is a great platform and backdrop for this type of movie, you need a prop or effect?, so you make it... At the heart of this project is a great soundtrack. In my real life I work as a composer and so although I did not write the music in this instance, choosing the right music for this project was a very important initial consideration and provided a good framework for timing. The song (also titled 'Better Life') was written and performed by one of my best friend's band 'Angry Man', based in the UK." -- Posted by Robbie Dingo (Rob Wright), 1 May 2006, to the "My Digital Double" blog, http://digitaldouble.blogspot.com/.

Chapter Prelude: "Amidst the chaos of battle, he escapes in a space pod. Safe, away from that scene of battle, he drifts aimlessly through space." Musician's excerpt: "So, how does it feel like, being alone in the universe? Can you begin to imagine just how lonely you are, in space spanning over thousands of light years? And now, imagine yourself drifting through this vast expanse of space, alone? Is it blissful? Or just plain dull? Or is it... depressing?" - Kithsa A machinima video made using the game "The Movies" and part of the Electronic Music Lab's "Beyond the Infinite" 2006 performance.

"Potentior" was written and directed by Nicholas Werner, a Stanford student in film & media studies. He is also part of the How They Got Game group at the Stanford Humanities Laboratory. This ambitious movie traces the events of the final major battle in the Gallic Wars, the epic struggle between Julius Caesar and Vercingetorix focused on the siege of the fortified town of Alesia. At over 40 minutes in length, the movie can afford to dwell on many details and stratetic aspects of the battle, as well as covering all the major events of the siege. Even more remarkable, it makes use of the Rome: Total War game engine, and thus serves as one of the few examples of an ambitious machinima project that makes use of a real-time strategy game. As this game is geared largely towards display of large-scale battles, Werner utilized a number of techniques and tricks to bring the focus down to the level of the main characters. At the same time, the strategic focus of the game allowed for scenes involving a "cast of thousands." -- Henry Lowood "Set during the last major battle of the Gallic Wars, Potentior follows the opposing generals Julius Caesar and Vercingetorix as one tries to subdue Gaul entirely, and the other fights to get it back. Roughly 40 minutes long, the film is a both a full recreation of the battle and an examination of the nature of war and conquest as understood by the people closest to it. Made entirely with the "Rome: Total War" graphics engine, Potentior marks one of the first entries of RTS gaming into the world of machinima, and is one of the longest single pieces to yet exist in the medium."--http://werner.stanford.edu Credits TITLE: Potentior CREATOR: Werner, Nicholas GAME: Rome: Total War GAME DEVELOPER: Creative Assembly GAME PUBLISHER: t GAME ENGINE/MACHINIMA TOOL: Rome: Total War RUN TIME: 40:36 DATE: 2006 PERFORMERS: Foley, Jason; Davis, Galen; Jewell, Cameron; Meisel, Joshua; Vermilion, Kevin; Teitelbaum, Yoni; Hurlbutt, Tom; Lin, Zihan; Tamm, Dharna; Cornute, Christopher
