Good morning and happy Saturday you guys! I have a few quick announcements regarding creating machinima in Second Life, rules for Second Life recording, Second Life YouTubers, and an update to my movie poster challenge! But first, here is another dancing video I did recently and shared on my YouTube channel. I’m really enjoying making these and plan to do more soon!

Capturing Video in Second Life

Ever since I’ve started making more videos in SL, I’ve been getting many people contacting me on a daily basis asking how I made these videos. I asked my friends on plurk to suggest some software they use so you can find all of that info in this plurk, but I am also going to summarize a few of the suggestions here:

Rules for Capturing Video in Second Life

Before you start on your vlogging or machinima making adventure in Second Life, please note that there are certain rules that Linden Lab has put in place that you need to be aware of. Please click over and read Linden Lab’s snapshot and machinima policy in detail:

If the convenant of the sim does not mention snapshots at all, then you are free to take as many pictures as you like there. However, if it doesn’t mention machinima (video) at all, then you must ask permission first before shooting your video at that location. This is something that not a lot of people are aware of. I sincerely request sim owners to please take a moment right now and put in your convenants that you allow snapshots and machinima, to make it easier on us who like to explore and shoot. Thank you!

Second Life YouTubers

There is a growing community of Second Life residents on youtube sharing beautifully coordinated machinima and also vlogging their second lives. I have been trying to add every SL account I see on Youtube putting out positive and encouraging videos to my subscribed channels page. If you are looking for residents to follow and watch on youtube, here are a few that I’ve noticed are vlogging or sharing SL videos regularly:

I just highlighted a few residents that I noticed released content on youtube within that past week or so. There are so many more doing amazing work there so please make sure to check out my subscriptions page and subscribe to them all. If you have a youtube channel that features Second Life machinima, please leave your link in the comments and I’ll make sure to subscribe!

If you are not on YouTube but wish to watch great quality machinima as well, I suggest signing up with SLArtist, they curate and share a large number of quality machinima from all over.

Update to my Movie Poster Challenge!

For those of you who are doing my Movie Poster Challenge this week, if you are also submitting your posters to Glasz DeCuir’s flickr group, Lapiscean Liberty (founder of SLArtist and AviewTV) has donated money so now Glasz has made it into a contest and is offering linden prizes to the top three posters as well. You can find all of the details about the contest in the Flickr Group or her Facebook Page. Please note that I am not involved with the contest part of this challenge. If you have any questions about the contest, please contact Glasz DeCuir as she is running it. Thank you.

I think that about covers everything I wanted to share today. Please do leave links to other Second Life residents that are sharing content on YouTube. I am looking to subscribe to even more positive and inspirational channels! Thank you. <3
