I have yet to find anyone at my school where I teach who has any experience with SL. I keep reminding myself that this is a learning experience and you have to learn to crawl before you walk and then run. I don't know if I will be running marathons by the end of this class but hopefully I'm walking my way through all this technology.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04526450388949650356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517971143593309179.post-57237055207040404152007-09-28T12:00:00.000-04:002007-09-28T12:00:00.000-04:00To see how to make your own avatar talk, see Innes...To see how to make your own avatar talk, see Innes SL movie. <BR/><BR/>And following Innes advice on just jumping in and mucking around and trying things out will definitely serve you well. The thing to do right now is simply explore a bunch of movie-making resources first.<BR/><BR/>You might also be interested in checking out the machinima-making game, <A HREF="www.lionhead.com/themovies" REL="nofollow">"The Movies"</A>. You'll find that it's a much more supported movie-making environment than SL is and isn't too expensive to buy. You can watch a bunch of machinima movies made using "The Movies" on <A HREF="http://www.machinima.com" REL="nofollow">Machinima.com</A>.Colin and/or Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07672356531075609779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517971143593309179.post-42776741990224265572007-09-27T21:53:00.000-04:002007-09-27T21:53:00.000-04:00me, again (sorry!) i put our video on youtube sin...me, again (sorry!) i put our video on youtube since i couldn't seem to upload it directlyinto the blog. if you are interested, it's at:<BR/><BR/>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LfmkAf71qoI<BR/><BR/>(copy and paste link)Inneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10796133255782954679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517971143593309179.post-34469888432584947332007-09-27T21:50:00.000-04:002007-09-27T21:50:00.000-04:00sorry, this link (copy and paste) may be more usef...sorry, this link (copy and paste) may be more useful to you:<BR/><BR/>http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/cyberone/course-materials/second-life/Inneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10796133255782954679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517971143593309179.post-24661436453210084502007-09-27T21:49:00.000-04:002007-09-27T21:49:00.000-04:00you asked about other uses for second life... chec...you asked about other uses for second life... check out this one:<BR/><BR/>http://slurl.com/secondlife/Berkman/123/219/24/?x=400&y=400&img=http%3A//www.law.harvard.edu/programs/center_law/berkman_logo.gif&title=Welcome%20to%20Berkman%20Center%20for%20Internet%20and%20Society%20at%20Harvard%20Law%20School&msg=Berkman%20Island%20is%20the%20product%20of%20a%20collaboration%20between%20individuals%20associated%20with%20the%20real-life%20Berkman%20Center%20and%20Second%20Life%20citizens.%20Members%20of%20the%20community%20have%20helped%20landscape%2C%20enrich%2C%20and%20create%20unique%20content.%20For%20the%20purpose%20of%20the%20Beyond%20Broadcast%20conference%20%28http%3A//beyondbroadcast.net/blog/%29%2C%20we%20have%20built%20an%20inworld%20broadcasting%20center%20and%20a%203D%20replica%20of%20the%20Ames%20Courtroom%20at%20the%20Harvard%20Law%20School.Inneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10796133255782954679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517971143593309179.post-45241530849695470682007-09-27T20:55:00.000-04:002007-09-27T20:55:00.000-04:00in the reading, they talk about the main thing bei...in the reading, they talk about the main thing being the story. have you tried to focus on a story, or personal narrative, or personal belief first? if you have a storyline, then, as you encounter different spins (second life, graphic novels, trading cards, etc...) ways to utilize the technology may come to mind more easily than the other way around.<BR/><BR/>also, just to get comfortable with the techniques, try playing around with things on something totally unrelated (like i did with the music "video" of still images relating to a piece of music) that exercise made me a lot more comfortable with the editing software.<BR/><BR/>similarly, this video i made just last night was done just to try capturing video with FRAPS and Second Life. (Unfortunately, I'm having trouble uploading so you can't see it yet!) Basically, we took some silly poem, and i had my avitar recite it, one video clip for each line of the poem. then we had some fun putting titles and music. it's SOOOO crude, but, heck, we did manage to jump in and do it!<BR/><BR/>anyway, for what its worth, just jump in and do something--worry about the big picture later! hope this helps.<BR/><BR/>PS it does help to have someone to work with! preferrably someone under the age of 15!Inneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10796133255782954679noreply@blogger.com
