I don’t really consider myself a machinima maker. But then what am I?

Broken Rainbow Cloudy Night took place in the night sky of Second Life 300 meters above the Brooklyn Is Watching sim in mid 2008.

I wanted an experience where patterns both visual and audio revealed themselves as the avatar viewer moved (in this case flew) through the work.

Broken Rainbow was created incrementally, layer upon layer of: 3D primsScriptsPatternsAnimationSounds

Immersion in color & lightTags: uncomfortable saturation, burning affects of glow, solid vs. transparent

Video captureTags: what remains, the avatar’s body, immersiveness and being there

VS.

Who makes the video?

Made by me Made by another cinematographer

Painting, Film and SpaceTags: new kind of painting, towards filmmaking, virtual space to explore, contradictions and questions

But why be a girl artist?
