This is a special episode of Talkbot that I made for Jump-Start’s Performance Party XXV. I really rushed putting this together for the show and was disappointed because I knew it could have been better. So this is the “George Lucas Special Edition” complete with moving mouth animations, a new audio mix and both parts combined into one, 2 minute epic.

My friend Poid is big time into Burning Man and it’s virtual equivalent (sort of) Burning Life. This year she made an installation in Second Life based on her experience at this year’s Burning Man. I made this short video to help document/promote it all. You can read more about Cabaret of Flames over here.
The second post on this blog (Jan 2008) was called Machinima: Filmmaking Of The Future. For me, it still feels like something from the future even though the process in this video is less elaborate than the one outlined in that earlier post. I love that I’m able to work with most anyone, in real-time, in an amazing world where you can create just about anything you want – even goofy robots that love to curse. Read More
This is an idea that I’ve been playing with for literally years now. It’s a talk show hosted by my Second Life avatar, Aren Mandala. This episode features our friend Poid who I first met when I did the Scion City stuff about a year and half ago. I actually know a few really cool artists through Second Life so I’m going to try to feature as many as possible. Read More
I proposed two how to demonstrations:
Machinima Kung Fu – Sure machinima looks easy – record a game, drop it into iMovie and do some voices – but there’s actually a little more to it than that. This session will cover all the tech of making machinima – from hardware and software to in-game strategies to post production issues.
Custom Video Players For Your Show – You’ve got a unique video show, why not have a player that matches? This session will take you through detailed examples using two popular Flash video players. We’ll show you how to create custom skins and get them set up on your site.

I’ve been working at Millions of Us for the better part of a year now and I love it because I get to work on all kinds of crazy projects with all kinds of creative people. Bart Cheever, our VP of Production also happens to be Bart Blackstone the DJ. I beamed him into my virtual studio the other day and we talked about his Kill Bill mashups (download Hanzo Steel Vol. 1), The Postmarks, Yo Gabba Gabba and more.
