The first ever virtual film festival is drawing to a close. You have 2 days left to attend this historic event. Don’t miss the final bash on the 30th!

And spread the word so as to fuel future vitual film festivals, at SecondLife, or elsewhere.

The Avalon crew have done a smashing job getting this cutting edge technology up and running. The quality is great and the sensation amazing. So a big thanks to the boys ( and gals) behind it all.

I have just attended the premier kick-off of the first ever Virtual Film Fest (at Avalon in Secondlife), and I must say that I’m impressed with the technology. My House played splendidly, considering the amount of fast moving details in it. A job well done by the Avalon crew.

The Film Festival will run all week up to the 30th (with My House playing again on the 29th. As they say, “the best for last”). A schedule is posted in the screening dome at Avalon. Information can also be found in the updated PDF at the Spacethinkdream website.

Photos from the event will follow soon.

What is Secondlife?
From site:

Second Life is a virtual world - a 3D online persistent space totally created and evolved by its users. Within this vast and rapidly expanding place, you can do, create or become just about anything you can imagine. Built-in content creation tools let you make almost anything you can imagine, in real time and in collaboration with others. An incredibly detailed digital body (’Avatar’) allows a rich and customizable identity. A powerful physics simulation running on a backbone of hundreds of connected computers and growing with the population allows you to be immersed in a visceral, interactive world that as of April 2005 covers more than 12,000 acres and 20,000 owned plots of land. The ability to design and resell 3D content, combined with the ability to own and develop land and a microcurrency, which can be exchanged to real money means that you can build a real business entirely within Second Life.

If you are simply curious about what it would be like to wander a world filled with colorful people in which the only limits are imagination, you will find the Second Life software easy to install, and the basic experience of moving around and experiencing the world simple and fun, with many friendly people waiting to help you once you arrive.

If you are a 3D content creator, entrepreneur, game developer, artist, or software developer, Second Life is guaranteed to blow your mind. It is a palette for creative self-expression like nothing you have ever seen. Jump in, find a sandbox, and start building.
