MoM September 2011 - here are the films

8 films are part of Month Of Machinima September 2011 (theme was: Seasons).

The opening event was September 7, 2011 - and it was even more fun this month.
Many came to see the films, and for the first time we had L1aura Loire interviewing the filmers between the showing of the machinima's. That certainly added to the event, and many questions came from the audience. L1 and myself did a joined presentation, and the event was filmed - stay tuned for a small impression that will be hosted on MoM You Tube account asap.

A unique service that MoM provides to Second Life residents that visit the theater, is that watching the films is enabled in all viewers. This service is provided by AviewTV, thanks to Lapiscean Liberty.All films show on their website, too!


Theme for Oktober is: four elements. (be creative, think art...)
Somebody in the crowd mentioned 4 elephants --- well, we dare you!



Submit your films here (deadline is the 15th)




As LEA (Linden Endowment for the Arts) we are proud to announce that there now is a machinima sim available to the filmers that submit their films to MoM.
The Machinima sim (set to adult) is hosting 8 studio’s, and these will be randomly appointed amongst each months submissions, (we trow numbers in a hat and make a draw). Your film does not have to be chosen for showcasing in MoM to be part of this, all entries in MoM have an equal chance to get a monthly plot.
Plots are assigned for one month. The filmer that gets a plot is responsible for their plot, which beholds 1000 prims per studio, and for good neighbourly behavior. LEA/MoM members will have the right to end the use of a studio before the end of the assigned period.


These are the films showcasing in MoM September 2011:


Chaffrro Schoonmaker - Unknowable Isles
Ian Pahute – All You Need Is Now
Hunk Hausner - Curves
Bleu Oleander – A Pesto For All Seasons
Chic Aeon – Nature of Elements
Pooky Amsterdam – Why Now? Diversity Tolerance Footprint
Rafale Kamachi – Love me Tender
Iono Allen – Visualizing Theorem at UTSA


MoM has it s own YouTube account and playlist.
Soon after the openingsceremony the machinima’s will be included on the MoM YouTube playlist, on AviewTV.com.

The 48 Hour Film Project Machinima 2011 registration is now open.

The 48 Hour Film Project

Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/48_Hour_Film_Project

The 48HFP Machinima

The 48 Hour Film Project is a contest in which teams of filmmakers are assigned a genre, a character, a prop, and a line of dialogue, and have 48 hours to create a short film containing those elements.

The 48 Hour Film Project's mission is to advance filmmaking and promote filmmakers.
Through its festival/competition, the Project encourages filmmakers and would-be filmmakers to get out there and make movies. The tight deadline of 48 hours puts the focus squarely on the filmmakers — emphasizing creativity and teamwork skills. While the time limit places an unusual restriction on the filmmakers, it is also liberating by putting an emphasis on "doing" instead of "talking."

In 2011, the 48 Hour Film Project will go to 103 cities, spread over 6 continents.
One of these cities is different. It is called “machinima”.
It is, unlike the 102 other cities, not on one continent but worldwide – so the good news is that if you do not live in (or close to) one of the cities, you can still participate in the 48 HFP, by subscribing to the 48 Hour Film Project Machinima.

The 48HFP Machinima has the same goal as the the regular contest, except that your film has to be made in real time using a virtual world or game. For example: the 2010 winnning machinima was made in WoW, the 2009 and 2008 winners both made in Moviestorm, and the very first winner in 2007 came from Second Life.

The 48HFP Machinima is set to the weekend of 16 – 18 September 2011.

Machinima as a new genre is very much setting a tradition of engaging serious leaders in the film industry, and I am happy and proud to announce that:
The 2011 head of jury is Tony Dyson. (Star Wars R2-D2, and major films like Superman II, Dragon Slayer, James Bond)
And, last years judge Phaylen Fairchild is back in 2011.
Dr. Tracy Harwood has agreed to be judge too.She was the founder of the very first European machinima festival, and is a Senior Research Fellow / National Teacher Fellow at the
Institute of Creative Technologies - De Montfort University UK.
On September 5, mr. Marcus Parker Rhodes joined the jury too. He is a former Bafta jury, and was in the Monty Pythons Flying Cirucs team, a groundbreaking animator and machinima fan.

Enter today! Space is limited.
This year, teams will be accepted on a first come, first served basis. Once the initial registration is complete, we will accept teams for the waiting List.
If a registered team must drop out, we will go to the waiting List. If there is enough interest, and we can secure additional theater time, we may be able to add more teams from the list.
