This was done by Kobuk Farshore for the University of Western Australia, and is absolutely fantastic! Look at the smoothness of the camera work, and the overall concept.

Botgirl Questi announced  that a new virtual art exhibit, the Caerleon Museum of Identity, will be opening on Saturday, October 2, at 12:00.  (Her press release was not specific, but I would assume that this is SLT.)  The announcement included a video clip: You can read the full text of the press release at Botgirl’s [...]

I featured a previous Mermaid Temple machinima a week or two ago in another article.  Here’s one I’ve been hunting for a moment to write about since then, in which the lead actor becomes a water witch.  Very well done!

I discovered this delightful machinima while going through my favorites on Koinup this morning.  Filmed by “kyota” and Mermaid Temple, it shows a lovely pair of ballet dancers, performing to music from Tchaikovsky’s Sleeping Beauty.  Enjoy this not only for the dancing, but for the wonderful Art Nouveau surroundings, and for the rotating mirrors — [...]

Sam celebrates some of the nicer builds on the Grid, such as Omega Point.  (Again, if your interested, [...]

With thanks to Hamlet Au and New World Notes, I just have to share this:  Dagon, based on the short story by H. P. Lovecraft, filmed by Lainy Voom and a team of creators. You may want to click through to the Vimeo page and watch this in high definition!  A very impressive film!!
