Many thanks to ALL who entered! The jury consisting of four PAL team members had a tough time finding the best. We had almost 10 pictures in the final heat.
Above gallery shows those of which all jury members liked! Please consider all as winners!

Also thanks to all who joined event. Roughly 150-200 stepped by during the 5 hours making it one more historic and successfull PAL event!

A lot can and have been said about virtual worlds but I have to say one of the most fascinating observations is to have the opportunity to meet, dance, chat and share a lot of good music with a global bunch of like-minded. Love it!!

We’ll take a short break here on blog. Meanwhile stay up to date via our Facebook, Twitter or inworld group.

Next event is scheduled in December and themed IDM glitchy tech down in club!

We are currently puzzling with our next music project and if everything works out we’ll launch a project of yet unseen proportions related to music marketing in Virtual Worlds!

Stay tuned!

Machinima Contest – The Winner – Looking back!

PAL is back on track again after a very successfull simopening and ended machinima contest. To those who missed event and winner announcements the $L100.000 prize went to:

La Rumba Bacana II by Al Peretz

It was very close race and so hard to judge the winner! We will post comments from all the judges notes here asap. Some films could have been winners seen from a technical view others on best storyline etc. By now we’ll just say the very close race ended choosing Al Peretz film. It captured the old Pop Art Lab design very well, it shows a true passion for music and dancing of which PAL is all about.

One of the nicest parts of this contest was to see the diversity in music and cultures behind each entry. To me it really shows the powers of virtual worlds connecting people and culture from around the globe!

Within few days most of the 5 hours US event can be viewed as a Pop Vox Special in Treet.TVs archives.

More than 50+ creators of machinimas, music, designs, art, speeches etc. participated. We want to thank every single person involved we are forever grateful to each of you! Also greatest respect and thanks goes to Treet.TV for broadcasting, Linden Lab for bringing PAL up front in Destination Guide and Music Listing, Roskilde Universitys Virtual World Project for co-sponsoring the machinima prize. For a full list of particpants and credits by now please check out programme from The Pop Explosion!

Lastly a great picture taken by sim designer Emily Hifeng. We soon return with more from the greatest event ever to be hosted in Pop Art Lab!

Few people have been telling me Pop Art Lab makes the most thrilling events in any of the existing virtual worlds and The Pop Explosion was yet another example of what I would call high-end 3D entertainment! Hope those who attended agree!
