    posted message: Thursday night is Show and Tell. Time to show off what you have created - it could be the 30 second clip - it could be more. It does not have to be perfect - these are works in progress. We will have Q and A after each. Tonight (Wednesday) I will be at Front Range at 6:00PM SL time to discuss editing. This is optional - you may choose to use the time to work on your machinima. We will make use of Google Hangout so please be sure you have a gmail account to use for this purpose. If anyone wants the Woodsong Zapatero song let me know and i will e-mail it to you. You are free to make an entire movie with the song or create new lyrics - I will have the music sans vocals version as well.

    Loved the Thursday show and tell, seeing others' videos and receiving needed constructive criticism!

    Grid asked me what music I would use, since my Lovecraft speakeasy footage doesn't quite fit Woody Zapatero's "Machinima Star" music. Here is what I will use:  http://youtu.be/e7ujEKwarJY

    The tune (which I have slowed down a bit) is "Golfstrom 1939" ("Gulf Stream 1939") by Germany's Michael Jary and his Orchestra. Believe it or not, I have long been a Jary fan and was pleased to find a lot of his music in the public domain at http://archive.org/

    Great music, Florian. I like how you slowed it down, too. Good idea!

    Yes! finally met you lovely people :)  phew

    I apologize in advance for missing tonight's class.  I might be able to make the last half of it--depending on how long it lasts.

    Looking forward to show and tell, and seeing  what everybody did!  Last night, I was overjoyed to get (very) rough footage of about 10 avatars from my Lovecraft roleplay group in a speakeasy watching a magician saw a girl in half, plus there were appearances from a  few curious monsters, including Cthulhu arriving in a black mist ... editing will be a huge challenge!

    Anything with Cthulhu in it, I would watch:)

    Thanks for your comments/advice for my humble vid at YouTube! I also admired what you had to share at show and tell ,,, I have a lot to catch up with as an absolute machinima beginner.
