Several months ago, I made my first Second Life Machinima, " I'm a Pianist In Second Life " after discovering Robbie Dingo 's instruments. (I I have a flute, cello, and grand piano.) I was little afraid that I might end up not only wasting time making music videos in Second Life, but actually composing a theme song. So, I stayed away. And, now Rikomatic has to go and create this. and I'm starting to get inspired. This video is a little tour of Information Island.

Evonne is also a machinima producer and you view some of her work here. Machinima are movies filmed inside virtual worlds like Second Life. There is so much happening in Second Life with nonprofits, educational institutions, museums, and libraries that it is hard to keep up. The amazing Wayne MacPhail has been helping the Alzheimer Society of Ontario and Second Life Library 2.0 curator Shadow Fugazi put together a photo exhibition in Second Life.

It's a machinima (video) by Robbie Dingo, a 3D recreation of Van Gogh's Starry Night. When people talk about museum projects in Second Life and other virtual worlds, I'm often disappointed by the short-sightedness of the vision. Virtual worlds are a new, emerging technology, and like any new technology, overlaying old techniques onto new platforms is disappointing at best.
