#Second life documentaries series#
The two short films are the first in a series from Nature Video. On Thursday Nature Video, a new initiative from Nature Publishing Group (NPG), will screen two documentaries on the future of physics in Second Nature, NPG’s island in the virtual world. Sopiliia's comment in this very thread reflects how ingrained the negative image of SL is. Avatars can walk down a virtual red carpet this week at a film premiere in Second Life. However, since the virtual life game launched in 2003, it has attracted a good deal of. Sounds to me like your judgement is keen and accurate, since the hype bubble popped most portrayals of SL tend to be along the lines you described. Linden Labs Second Life exists as an abnormal nebula outside the comprehension of most traditional gamers. but after my disappointment with "Life 2.0" I am wary of any documentary about SL. and I know I should not pre-judge something I have not even seen. Originally produced for PBS in 1992, music video director Dian Martels film Wreckin Shop: Live From Brooklyn has found a second life as a cult favorite on. I haven't seen his film "FOOD, inc." but am looking at the trailer now and I can see that Robert Kenner is a propagandist, so don't expect a fair and balanced portrayal of SL from this director. Has anyone seen a preview of "When Strangers Click" ? Be prepared for disappointment, documentary film-makers tend to play up the negative, controversial aspects of their topic. It was aired at the SLCC convention last year. I hope this show won't be anything like the "Life 2.0" documentary, those of you who have seen that will know what I mean.

Watching the film, it’s clear Robert Kenner ‘gets’ Second Life, and in addition to telling his subjects’ stories with compassion, he realistically presents the virtual world and its possibilities. There is now a new world which has welcomed over four million inhabitants in the last three years. One of the segments of the film is a great Second Life love story: a talented musician happened to meet a woman at an inworld performance, and as a result, both of their lives have changed significantly. Olivia De Camps and Tom Sidi Olivia De Camps In order to make the documentary, the team are seeking Second Life users who are willing to to be interviewed and have their avatars filmed as they tell their own stories about their particular interest (s) in, and use of, the platform. The film is the work of Robert Kenner (the Oscar®-nominated director of the documentary Food, Inc.), and it presents several stories of people finding love online. Almost thirty years after his passing, Karajan’s musical testament continues to fascinating and challenge musicians and music-lovers the world over.As you may have already heard, HBO will be showing a documentary called, When Strangers Click: Five Stories from the Internet on February 14 (Valentine’s Day).
The filmmaker also includes never never-before-seen archival footage of the maestro in rehearsals and recording sessions and previously-unreleased privately-recorded phone conversations between Karajan and his recording producer Günter Hermanns.
Schulz’s fascinating interviews with Karajan’s colleagues and contemporaries (including Anne-Sophie Mutter, Peter Alward, David Bell, Brigitte Fassbaender, and Eberhard Finke) shed particular light on the conductor’s personality. It was in the recording studio that his passion, dedication, and artistic vision were harnessed in service of an all-consuming quest for perfection in the form of an extended series of CD recordings of his core German Romantic repertoire. Filmmaker Eric Schulz’s Karajan: The Second Life takes sharp look at the fabled maestro, pushing past the legend to get to the heart of this great man’s motivations.
