Smokin’ GOAT (incident19): SF fun!!
Fakey (Fake Jewell): The random number generator picked me, Goddess. So here goes. I really liked the space shots, and I loved the storm trooper drumming.
Easy Streaming TV: You do not have access to this TV. (Menu access set to LIST)
fyre (fyreflower): Wooot
Dor (Dorian Cao): .ap
Dor (Dorian Cao): Applause!!
Fakey (Fake Jewell): The only thing that didn’t work for me so well was the fight scenes. They seemed rather repetitive, and the physics meant that the light sabers were going through folks.
Fakey (Fake Jewell): Otherwise – excellent.
Fakey (Fake Jewell): Thank you.
Fakey (Fake Jewell): Does the feedback work for you?
The Goddess™ (VictoriaHoneydew): Yes, I use a sword fight hud so I put it together best I could, know the physics dindt really work, but I just tried to get teh story across.
Fakey (Fake Jewell): Absolutely – thank you.
The Goddess™ (VictoriaHoneydew): Oh yes, ‘m always happy with feedback no matter what
Fakey (Fake Jewell): Please feel free to weigh in everyone.
Chantal Harvey: thats a great spirit, goddess
Udah (VampireAndVegan): For some reason, i particularly liked it when folks were struck down and fell to the floor. I don’t know why… The troopers playing instruments also worked well for me.
Chantal Harvey: i loved the music, its original? and the video feels fresh, fun
Pryda (Pryda Parx): I liked that one. I liked the way the spaceships arrived at the start, and the sets and details in the characters. It was a good idea combining a music video with the Star Wars theme, the music wasn’t particularly Star Warsy though
Shonda Evans: I enjoed it. Some parts reminded me of the animated movie Heavy metal.
Dash Renoir: like the sets … the band: i’m a fav of strat’s & rick’s; cool trying to sync drums ……
Smokin’ GOAT (incident19): I thought it was a fun video, love the band playing and the whole SF vibe of the machinima, was fun!!
Dash Renoir: same question re song?
The Goddess™ (VictoriaHoneydew): Yes, I wrote the lyrics, but I use Suno to make the music
Udah (VampireAndVegan): I loved the Heavy Metal movie!
Opal Lei: I initially thought it would be a storytelling, so the stormtroopers with the guitars threw me off. Then I realized it’s a music video and the lyrics told the story. Very nicely done. 🙂
Shonda Evans: Me too!!
Dash Renoir: dug the lyrics
The Goddess™ (VictoriaHoneydew): Right, I really only make music videos and try to tel the stories through them
Udah (VampireAndVegan): Great job!
Chantal Harvey: i like it that its girls involved, be it dark side or not 🙂
Shonda Evans: Indeed
The Goddess™ (VictoriaHoneydew): Thank You
Chantal Harvey: are there questions for goddess?
DallyEvans: I didn’t understand the connection between the fighting and the conversion of the princess into dark queen acolyte
Smokin’ GOAT (incident19): evil princesses always work lol
Chantal Harvey: and pls subscribe and like, to her channel?
The Goddess™ (VictoriaHoneydew): Oh please Subscribe and Ill sub to you too
Smokin’ GOAT (incident19): subscribed
Udah (VampireAndVegan): Done
Shonda Evans: ditto
Chantal Harvey: i see goddess type, an answer to dally?
The Goddess™ (VictoriaHoneydew): Sometimes t’s difficult to convey all the details in a video, like how the Princess turned. I try to show it, It’s just not always so clear to others.
Chantal Harvey: that was good feedback, in a question, dally
Chantal Harvey: 🙂
Chantal Harvey: ok, shall we go to the next filmmaker?
Smokin’ GOAT (incident19): yep
Chantal Harvey: Shonda, wanna introduce the film, and feedback after?
Shonda Evans: Sure
Shonda Evans: This is a video I made about a year ago…I wanted to present it to the group for feed back. I am aware of the clipping and glitchy animations. The video is about a couple having an affair. The wife keeps calling and interrupting
Chantal Harvey: shall we watch?
Shonda Evans: sure

M. L’vovich (TSym): Очень нежная . вызывающая желания 🙂
TSym ru>en: Very tender. arousing desires 🙂
Dor (Dorian Cao): Sure!
Fakey (Fake Jewell): *please
Dash Renoir: mmm….. i could watch … wasn’t logged into acct tho ??
Dor (Dorian Cao): I liked it! I mean who doesn’t like a good Bossa Nova!
Dor (Dorian Cao): It was sensual and smexy without being to adult and it worked with the music.
DallyEvans: applauds
Dor (Dorian Cao): The shadow fading around the edges at times was a bit distracting for me, but overall great job!
Shonda Evans: TY
Fakey (Fake Jewell): Does the feedback work for you, Shonda?
M. L’vovich (TSym): а вопрос. в конце когда камера офф у них все получилось ? ))))
TSym ru>en: and the question. at the end when the camera is off did they succeed? ))))
Shonda Evans: Yessss
Smokin’ GOAT (incident19): pitty I couldn’t see it…
Chantal Harvey: hehe tsym, good question – i suspect they did
Fakey (Fake Jewell): Awesome – thanks Dorian – please feel free to weigh in everyone
The Goddess™ (VictoriaHoneydew): I love Billie, the song was so nice. You mentioned about the clipping. We all know how SL works so I really don’t worry about clipping. I understand that’s a little difficult, but your camera work is fantastic! Good job overall!
Udah (VampireAndVegan): I liked the transition effects and the music immediately captured my attention. I would have liked to see each shot held a bit longer so I could take it all in.
Pryda (Pryda Parx): I wasn’t able to watch it, sorry
M. L’vovich (TSym): ❤
Dash Renoir: music on point … ‘mandi bossa nova’ added to my playlist thx shonda
fyre (fyreflower): I’m not a fan of watching any cheating stuff…so that was a couple role playin’…real good….real real good heehee. I looooved the paper-thin skin spider veins – it held meaning for me too –
Eve Petlyakov: I appreciated the fading edges, it felt *sneaky*. The music choice was great.
Chantal Harvey: i was distracted by the hands going through bodies, and the tongue of the girl. But I lo9ve and adore the combination of the film and the music, well done, and the humor in in works well
DallyEvans: The offputting thing for me was the guy’s fingers poking through stuff, like his cell phone and her hips
fyre (fyreflower): Also, the legs/skin slide shots, I could feel many of them…i adore that
Opal Lei: It was very sexy in a classy way. 🙂
Shonda Evans: TY
Chantal Harvey: yes its very sexy, nicely done, the hotel mood, everything
Smokin’ GOAT (incident19): *•.¸(‘*•.¸ ♥ ¸.•*´)¸.•*
Smokin’ GOAT (incident19): .•*♥´¨`• WOW •´¨`♥*•.
Smokin’ GOAT (incident19): ¸.•*(¸.•*´ ♥ `*•.¸)`*•.¸
Smokin’ GOAT (incident19): I really missed a cool machinima
Chantal Harvey: nice painting in the set, love that
Opal Lei: It would have been nice to get some indication that it was the wife calling.
Shonda Evans: Fair enough
Smokin’ GOAT (incident19): will you show it on anothyer platform as well? since Vimeo is asking for ID and selfie for age verification?
Shonda Evans: I will upload it to youtube
fyre (fyreflower): Chantal same but it was only the one of her hand on the bed that distracted me – I feel like she avoided it a lot well
Smokin’ GOAT (incident19): thanks!! I will look at it then
fyre (fyreflower): Thank you Shonda. I love a goos steamy
fyre (fyreflower): good*
Shonda Evans: Smiles ◕‿◕
Shonda Evans: TY
Debs (DebbieStick): UK is more restricted to adult content. Sites ask for ID. So best use a VPN to spoof its US or something
Chantal Harvey: yes, vpn is good
Smokin’ GOAT (incident19): I’m om VPN
Smokin’ GOAT (incident19): then on vimeao you got to proove you;re human too, I just never get away with that
Saffia Widdershins: I am with all the comments here. It was a great interpretation. For me, the only distraction was the oiliness of his skin. It made him look a bit … plastic
The Goddess™ (VictoriaHoneydew): lol
Chantal Harvey: is that the skin, or using pbr?
Shonda Evans: skin
Shonda Evans: I like my men greasy…lol
Smokin’ GOAT (incident19): lol
Chantal Harvey: haha ok
Udah (VampireAndVegan): LOL
DallyEvans: SL crashes when I use VPN
Saffia Widdershins: not sure. I just kept thinking how all that oil would feel ….
fyre (fyreflower): lolz Saffia, I wasn’t sure if I liked it or not…I just kind of watched the shine move – Bhahahaha
Opal Lei: It could be sweat too. 😉
Smokin’ GOAT (incident19): oh my goat that sounds gross
Saffia Widdershins: ugh. Then he has a problem ….
DallyEvans: very oily sweat
Dash Renoir: ( noticing godiva’s skin )
Opal Lei: lol well, sex is sweaty….
Shonda Evans chuckles
Shonda Evans: \(◕‿◕)/¯
Chantal Harvey: ok!
fyre (fyreflower): 🤣
Chantal Harvey: hey we have a new member of our group here, a machinimamaker, he wants to share his work
Dor (Dorian Cao): …dunno…I remember a fun oil wrestling night when I was younger…. =D
Chantal Harvey: shall we?
Chantal Harvey: l’vovich
Udah (VampireAndVegan): we better…
Chantal Harvey: wanna introduce your film? and feedback after?
Chantal Harvey: TSym
M. L’vovich (TSym): yes
fyre (fyreflower): Dor I may have….trophys
M. L’vovich (TSym): My name is Maxim. This is my first time here, and I would like to present a short video.
It is the final scene from a large theatrical production based on Dante’s The Divine Comedy.
I worked on this production for more than three years. It was performed five times on the stage of the Orchid Theatre.
At the end of the video, you will find a link to the full recording of the entire performance.
And now, a few words about what you are about to see:
Dante has passed through Hell and Purgatory and ascended to the вершину of the mountain.
This place is called the Earthly Paradise — it is here that he meets Beatrice.
A musical fragment, River Flows in You, begins to play.
He sees her and runs toward her with all his strength.
A slight wave of the hand, a few broken, breathless phrases —
and they walk together along the stream.
And the moment his shadow disappears beneath the waterfall,
Mozart’s Lacrimosa begins to sound…
PS: No AI was used when editing the video
fyre (fyreflower): *shakes head yes*

Debs (DebbieStick): Applauds
Saffia Widdershins: That was beautiful
Opal Lei applauds!
Shonda Evans: well done!
Fakey (Fake Jewell): My random number generator has picked Opal to start off the feedback. Opal – are you happy to kick us off?
Opal Lei: sure!
fyre (fyreflower): Woot
Opal Lei: First, i love Mozart’s Requiem and Lacrimosa was very appropriate. I also love how you used hand gestures to tell how they communicated. Very nice story. Very nice implementation.
Opal Lei: That’s it.
M. L’vovich (TSym): спасибо
TSym ru>en: Thank you
Chantal Harvey: is there anything that didnt work for you, Opal?
Fakey (Fake Jewell): Thank you Opal, does the feedback work for you, M L’vovich?
M. L’vovich (TSym): да
TSym ru>en: Yes
Opal Lei: Not really. The sudden pause after he went under the falls indicated that something went wrong. Then he came out in white, so that indicated that he died.
M. L’vovich (TSym): здесь вопрос открытый – я проинтепретировал что да – ведь иначе как он покал в рай ?
TSym ru>en: here the question is open – I interpreted that yes – because otherwise how did he go to heaven?
Fakey (Fake Jewell): Please feel free to weigh in everyone.
Chantal Harvey: first of all – thanks for the music, my favorite, it sends me dreaming straight away. I think you avoided the flaws of second life pretty well, the scene of both sides of the water are very symbolic, and the ending is perfect.
Udah (VampireAndVegan): Music and visuals fit perfectly together. Gestures clearly told the story. Eagle chariot was a great touch. I’d like to watch the whole thing.
Pryda (Pryda Parx): It had a nice operatic feel about it, very well done. The hand and arm gestures were good. I liked the griffin cart too. I thought the editing and camera work was well done. My only complaint was I couldn’t follow the story very well.
Shonda Evans: I agree
Eve Petlyakov: I really appreciated the choreography, the attention to detail in that respect was fantastic. I enjoyed everything about this. My only feedback is I would have like to see facial expressions on the characters.
M. L’vovich (TSym): тогда приходите по ссылка в конце видео и посмотрите всю работу он адлинная но что поделать
TSym ru>en: then follow the link at the end of the video and watch all the work, it’s a long one, but what can you do?
Chantal Harvey: i definately want to see more…
Udah (VampireAndVegan): Is there a way to get characters to actually move faster against the background when they are running? I noticed in a few videos.
fyre (fyreflower): loved the body talk as well, even her eyes at one point when he was about to find her. – this film – had me absorbed in the many reasons I adore SL. The creativity here without a lot of frill even using past works and creating your own. I love it. Plus — I now have another way I haven’t flown yet in SL, eagle-flown chariot!
Smokin’ GOAT (incident19): Yes I would love to see the whole show… for me this machinima I would have liked to see the colors somewhat more dramatic maybe…
Chantal Harvey: so you are part of a theatre group in sl?
Godiva Varela: i really liked it, the music is superb, the imagery flew very nicely with the music, really solid good job!What i would advice and/or change, is the windlight, make it a bit more striking and intense, and also make use of different FOV settings for the camera to give it an even more cinematographic look. But i really liked it, great job!
DallyEvans: I thought the flight in the chariot was too long. Other wise excellent. She was in white… His dead wife or lover?
M. L’vovich (TSym): Да у меня были показы этого спектакаля в СЛ
TSym ru>en: Yes, I had screenings of this play in SL
M. L’vovich (TSym): Это Беатрича
TSym ru>en: This is Beatrice
fyre (fyreflower): nods at what Godiva said*
M. L’vovich (TSym): да она умерла
TSym ru>en: yes she died
Chantal Harvey: you should be friends with fakey and dorian !!!
Udah (VampireAndVegan): Godiva, maybe you can give us a tutorial on lighting?
Udah (VampireAndVegan): one day…
The Goddess™ (VictoriaHoneydew): The hard thing about feedback is trying not to say “I would have” because it’s his vision, his art. I understood the whole thing, just like the gestures worked to tell the story, the Eagle and the Chariot worked. I think it was just a little slow on the Eagle. Maybe if there were a few more clips so it looked like it was flying more. But overall it was really well put together!
Chantal Harvey: yes we should plan some workshops this year! if any of you has an idea, pls let me know
Chantal Harvey: TSym, ty for coming over, and sharing this. We hope to see you back.
M. L’vovich (TSym): у меня есть несколко свежих робот хоть и трагичныш (
TSym ru>en: I have several new robots, although they are tragic (
Udah (VampireAndVegan): I’d like to see them.
Chantal Harvey: hey we have 2 more – short – films. Godiva, did 2 short for linden lab. Pay attention, they are short 🙂
Opal Lei: Tragic is good too. 🙂
Smokin’ GOAT (incident19): cool
M. L’vovich (TSym): давайте в след раз не все с разу же
fyre (fyreflower): Thank you & welcome @M. L’vovich (TSym)
The Goddess™ (VictoriaHoneydew): Tragic is popular. lol
fyre (fyreflower): niuce G
Udah (VampireAndVegan): Is there a way to get characters to actually move faster against the background when they are running? I noticed in a few videos.
Chantal Harvey: godiva, wanna introduce and want feedback after? and shall we show them together? or apart
Chantal Harvey: oh sorry udah
Udah (VampireAndVegan): No problem. it can wait
Opal Lei: If you separate the background and green-screen the character, you can speed up the character maybe while editing?
The Goddess™ (VictoriaHoneydew): yes
Udah (VampireAndVegan): TY
The Goddess™ (VictoriaHoneydew): ^^
Godiva Varela: sure, together Chantal
Godiva Varela: hello everyone, well these are videos that i made for LL, they have end of the year celebration theme, i’ve built both places where they take place and also made the windlights
Saffia Widdershins: You can also just speed up the film in editing – but that won’t work for every shot
Chantal Harvey: ok, no more questions for L’vóvich?
Fakey (Fake Jewell): Or you can make a running ball
Udah (VampireAndVegan): TY
Chantal Harvey: ok, lets give the floor to godiva now
Pryda (Pryda Parx): you can change the speed of animations, for you only, then used a sit on object and move the object to sync with the animation playbeck (locally)
Godiva Varela: woops sorry hehehe, and regarding that question you can change speed of the avatar on the developer menu Developer>Avatar>Animation speed
Chantal Harvey: 6 minutes meeting time left
