Machinima Makes It's Mark With Aniboom's Sesame Street Character Competition!

A big congrats to veteran Machinimatographer,  Chantal Harvey and her team of Lorin Tone, Madcow Cosmos, Lauren Weyland, Judi Newall, L1Aura Loire, Ze Moo, robwag Soothsayer and Annabelle Fleury - for their big victory in getting machinima included in Aniboom's contest for a new Sesame Street character.  You can view "10 Little Aliens" below and do go over to Aniboom's website and vote and leave a comment! Support SL machinima and tweet, share, whatever!

The character avatar is for sale for 55L here and all proceeds go toward the funding of future machinimas.  I jokingly told Chantal to not forget me when she is a millionare off merchandising. LOL!

This is a very big step in getting machinima recognized as a source for animation/movie making outside of SL, so thank you to Chantal and her group for all their hard work!

Kamachinima Production is proud to announce our partnership with OPEN THIS END.   Aino Baar is a Real Life International Curator, representative of RL museums and Art Writer.  She is also a specialist in Art & Virtual Art.

Thanks to Aino Baar's extraordinary marketing efforts our machinimas will be presented at the RL World Expo 2010 Shanghaï in the Madrid Pavillion.

The World Expo in Shanghai will occupy a total of five (5) square kilometers and it is expected SEVENTY (70) million visitors.

 We will show the world how we use Machinima, how important this tool it is today and how it will become an important tool in so many other areas of our lives in the future. For those of you who won't be able to attend the fair, you still will be able to follow the tremendous artistic effort that is being deployed by this group on the Second Life platform,  as Linden Labs has graciously given five (5) sims for the duration of the Expo (6 months).  The sims are being prepared now and have a targeted opening date of 5/1/2010.
Each sim will be based on one of the themes (Light, Sound, Energy, Color and Love) and will present original artistic work interpreting the stories.
Kamachinima Production is working in parallel with OPEN THIS END activities because of the original stories we have created.  We shall have our own special presence in this major event with each machinima being shown on each corresponding sim.  Our warmest thanks to Aino Baar!

New Machinima Project - Kamachinima Production

I am pleased to announce I have been asked to join a very special project with Kamachinima Production. Kamachinima's charter is to produce original machinima based on original stories and music. The team has been asked to complete a series of 5 machinima shorts, each assigned a different theme - Color, Energy, Light, Love and Sound. The body of work will be broadcast at The World Expo in Shanghai, China on a large screen to attendees thru the end of October, 2010. It is a tremendous opportunity and I am extremely honored and excited that I was asked to participate in the project on the recommendation of one of SL's experts in machinima, Chantal Harvey. Thank you, Chantal! Shooting and set builds will be on a Sim specifically purchased for the use of the groups' projects. I will be filming and the hauntingly beautiful story, Color Me - written by Rafale Kamachi (SL). The story revolves around the main character, Dew (played by me) and a little girl in a sepia photo called Emma. All of the vignettes will be shot without dialog to address a global viewing audience. Emotions will be conveyed via facial expressions, original music and editing. You can follow our progress, see teaser trailers and keep informed of all other things concerning the project via the official website - Kamachinima Productions and Facebook! Press inquiries and requests should be directed to Rafale Kamachi in SL or rafale.kamachi@gmail.com. Recent Press on the project.

New Machinima! Alice In Wonderland ~Through The Looking Glass~ Short

Getting back into practice doing my machinima again which has been dormant for awhile.  Encouragement from a friend who loves it a much as me was a big factor in getting this little starter project finished.  He has much better machinima knowledge than me so I was surprised and honored when he asked me to collaborate with him on a project. Not sure exactly what we are planning to do but I'm sure it will be amazing with his input.  Enjoy!

Corporate reputation expert Alex Harris explains what companies – larger and small – can do to improve their standing with the community. Musically, Shakti Cianci introduces a reggae band from Tasmania, the protest group Bomba, who is campaigning against logging in the ancient Tasmanian forests.

If It Were Only This Easy...

A strange man builds a world using holographic tools for the woman he loves who is in a coma. This award winning short was created by filmmaker Bruce Branit, widely known as the co-creator of '405'. World Builder was shot in a single day followed by about 2 years of post-production. Very touching and very well done.:-)
