Pixie Rain: straddling Art and Porn in Second Life.
Some of the machinima and blog-posts on this site are adult in nature and contain scenes that some people may find disturbing.
If you feel this might be you, please exit now.
Other elements are warm and cuddly and have a "feel good" factor.

I now have the details for
Miron Lockett’s marvellous iClone
created ‘Unfinished Paintings’ and, as
promised, have embedded it below.
This machinima won the 4th
Jury Prize at last weekend’s Machinima Expo and, additionally, was
awarded the much valued ‘Audience Choice’ award.
I love it. Klute, I have a
feeling that you will too!
The Machinima Expo was a
great, well-organised event which took a lot of work by lots of
people. Discoveries like this machinima, made outside of SL, open my eyes to
various new possibilities. This may well
be the single most important contribution that the Expo contributes to the new
genre of machinima.
If you get the chance, I’d especially
recommend watching Miron Locket’s ‘Unfinished
Paintings’. This is a great, fun high-tone production made in iClone by a
clearly extremely talented guy, musically and visually. Unfortunately I haven’t
been able to locate the film on the net to embed here, but when I do I will.
Hypatia Pickens’ ‘Wulf and Eadwacer’ is based on an Old
English poem and has a great rhythm and beat. Definitely worth watching.
‘The Chapelside Deception’ by IceAxe is a more conventional narrative
film consisting of “a beginning, middle and end”. Created using MovieStorm, it
tells the story of corruption in a soccer team during the 1970s.
As part of the Expo, Tutsy
was asked to produce a video interview based on questions supplied by Ricky
Grove. I provided the translation from French to English.
For the first time, we can now
release that interview publically.
‘MetaSex’ and ‘The Last Syllable of Recorded Time’ by
Tutsy Navarathna have both been selected as MachinimaExpo 2012 Jury Nominated films!
They will go into competition against eight other films, with the results
announced in mid-November.
As mentioned before, what is interesting and significant about the
MachinimaExpo Jury Nominated competition is that film entries can come *from*
any digital platform, not just Second Life. This year sees five entries from
SL, three created using Moviestorm
and two using iClone.
Here is the list of nominees and links to the films (where I
have been able to find them).
-Libre Arbitre by Olivier Romme (France,
Moviestorm)
- Unfinished Paintings by Miron Lockett (US, iClone)
Over the next week I’ll get around to watching all ten films
and, although I wish each entrant the very best, it is admittedly somewhatdifficult for
me to be anything but biased.
And on that confessional note, let us yet again take the
time to immerse ourselves in the glorious light that is ‘MetaSex’ :
