History, horizons and count down pt. 3

12 days to go and submission deadline for our machinima contest ends. We have no clue about how many filmmakers will enter. What we do know is some very clever ones included but whether we get 5 films or 20 – blank!? By telling this we ofcourse encourage everyone to join the contest. The judge is very varied including a RL PHd who ain’t particular SL machinima expert but make serious research in topic from a professional point of view, Leska Linden who’ve been at LL 5+ years who have strong interests in machinima and Chantal Harvey of whom I expect know tons about technical issues creating machinimas and finally myself who’ll be absolutely noob and mostly only care about issues like “Does the machinima capture Pop Art Labs spirit”!

Somehow we would like being more involved in this contest so we might try set up some kind of events if any out there want to film the sim with audience in. We will inform on such steps by group notes, here on blog, on twitter etc.

Info on winner announcements and sim opening programme can be followed as it expands on an almost daily basis.

This weeks inspirational verse goes for  the Greg Hawkes concert recorded live at Pop Art Lab in December 2008 and of which was our very first feature on the machinima scene! Greg Hawkes is most known for handling the synths in the US major 70s-80s group The Cars!

Sit back and relax to this awesome ukulele led show!!!
