Building a Movie Set in Second Life (Part 1)
I applied to one of my favorite brands - BeSpoke Caravan - to become a blogger for their items. And guess what? I GOT IN!!!
Let me just say that the 30 day time limit they give their bloggers is PERFECTION; that is why all of their blogger ads look as awesome as they do. I can tell you as the person looking to promote the item I’ve been given, an entire month with the item/items you are going to blog gives me the opportunity to really think about what I want to do, test things out, and spend time thinking about how I’m going to feature the item I’m blogging for.
If you’ve read any of my articles about blogging before, you how seriously I take the opportunity and you likely aren’t surprised that I’m over here building sets and doing all kinds of things to prepare to feature the item I’m vlogging for.
This time, I’m going all out.
My husband and I have been working on writing dialogue and scripts for a fantasy Second Life machinima series, and this time, I’m going to make this BeSpoke Caravan item not only the feature of the video, but hopefully cool enough to where other people will want one too! :) I hope you enjoy part 1 of me working on the set! :)

Jessica Rabbit's Late Night Rehearsal
I like to practice machinima with a theme, and this time the theme was 'sexy'. I haven't done a piece that was focused on sex appeal yet, and the only person I could think to mimic was was the diva herself - Jessica Rabbit. And the HOTTEST song ever, 'Fever' from Peggy Lee. :)
BeSpoke's cool new rabbit head released at Vintage Fair seemed like a neat fit too....so... TA DA!
If you've been following along from these little #wip projects I do, I try and 'post whatever I have after 7 days'. I cheated on this one and went 14 days (to buy the Rabbit head).... but you'll find a few little easter eggs in there that I didn't have time to 'fix and film over' and still make my 14 day deadline.
I hope you enjoy this glimpse into a private 'behind closed doors' rehearsal between Mr. and Mrs. Rabbit. :) #secondlife style ! :) Be warned.... it gets progressively more 'naughty' as the video goes on....but nothing -too- bad. I promise.
No one paid me to do this, but just in case you are interested in anything you see or hear in the video, check out the credits below! :)

Collaboration with Gonje Anton - a Bay City Studio's Production filmed in Second Life.
For all of you Shakespeare purest out there, this was a work of love. :) You'll notice we toyed with Titania's monologue a little bit. Sorry if the pronunciations weren't 100%!!! We tried! :)

Second Life 2023: The Crow and the Flower
No one paid me to do this - I made this video because I love the original piece that this video is based off of :) (An old 'So You Think You Can Dance' number about the love story between a hummingbird and a flower.)
Just a few call outs for credits on this video:
The lighting design was done by Gonje Anton. He helped me with the colors to match the theme I was going for; I owe the entire 'mood' to him.
This video wouldn't be anywhere close to what I wanted without the 1 prim [inZoxi] Studio Light. I had an amazing light array up in about 10 minutes, and it honestly made filming this so much more fun because I had so much more control over my entire environment lighting set up. https://marketplace.secondlife.com/stores/188425

Special thanks to ‘Dusty Shores’ - the STUNNING desert themed residential region in #secondlife . Everyone was super nice to me - the random half naked cactus lady that was just hanging out and doing yoga on the edge of their sim. So if you are looking for a place to crazy and want to enjoy some desert sunsets of your own, I’d recommend checking it out. It really is beautiful and the people were super nice. :)

Last but not least, special thanks to Gonje Anton. His Director ability always adds something to every video. If the video is good, it’s because he helped. He never posts videos cause he plays a big part in post production with my experiments, but this was totally a collaboration and I’ve got to credit him. :)

Second Life 2023: Skating at Night in Bay City
I've been doing alot of experimenting with different streaming programs. I was so impressed with Streamlabs, that I decided to test it out in my favorite spot - Bay City :)
As for 'video quality' (for those interested in machinima stuff), what you are seeing is the result of me being logged into the Firestorm Viewer, Graphics High with Shadows, and a draw distance of over 450. Firestorm said the browser was running at an FPS of 15ish most of the time, too.
Special thanks to all the neighbors who didn't give me a hard time for weirdly skating up and down the same road in front of their house for 4 days - hahahaha :)
Filmed on Second Life mainland - no greenscreens :)
