Linden blogs.
Calling all Second Life film buffs and machinima mavens! Get ready to
be enthralled by the cinematic magic of "Harland Quinn and the Omega Hex
Ep 1," directed by the talented Saffia Widdershins.
Join us on Wednesday, November 15th, at 12pm PT at the Second Life Cinema
for this exciting movie screening. Immerse yourself in the world of
Harland Quinn, where fantasy and adventure intertwine, leaving you at
the edge of your seat. The screening concludes with an exclusive
promotional commentary on the Fantasy Faire in Second Life, offering a
glimpse into another spectacular event within our virtual world.
I dropped in a little late, but the video started from the start for those just walking in. Saffia was there, as well as Strawberry Linden. It started off with a reporter asking one of the Fairelands officials about a supposed major threat called the Omega Hex, and the official playing down the threat as overblown. The scene then changes to a man going about a town in a desert in native garb who "ended up here because of a good run of bad choices" as he says to himself in his narration, and instead of magic would rather rely on his pistol. While going about, he's approached by an old adversary who offers a certain proposal.
The audience applauded at the film's end, "Bravo!" "That was amazing!" "It was a wonderful episode, congratulations to the entire team!" "This is so well done." And there was thanks for the theater, "Huge thanks to Linden Lab for letting us open this spectacular venue." Saffia was appreciative, "Thank you so much for watching!" She would also announce, "and in a few minutes ... there a PARTY!"
The party itself was in a skybox high above in the Garden of Dreams sim. Over two dozen went there, and danced to the music.
Saffia would mention several people who helped with the film, "Terra Volitant created the special effects. Bain Finch did those fantastic tracking shots. Aisling Sinclair created the avatars. Ketsui was the assistant director. And Julala and Lil Cinnamon organized the fantastic market in the desert!"
Episode One, "With Friends Like These," is still showing at the WelcomeHub Cinema until the end of the month. Episodes Two and Three can be seen on the
Fairelands media website.
