in the past I've shot fiction films and non-fiction films... but shooting a non-fiction sequence in SL is a whole other ball game.
In terms of my project its especially hard because the conversation, the connection with the people I meet and being true to myself is extremely important. But when I am talking to someone I also have to keep typing...
while I'm doing that I'm also filming because who knows... it might go somewhere, and might be an effective piece in the film...
so one is thinking of shots, the timeline, the edit etc all at the same time.
The other issue is shooting oneself, using the mouse, keyboard etc... and then animating oneself in that shot as well...
so the planning has to be even better...
Anyhow what I have here is a little something... It is part of a conversation with a man (now a friend) I randomly met and spoke with for a long period of time. Actually I followed him... I saw this person flying in the sky and said to myself... hmmm let's follow him... It was like those films where you follow someone, then they catch on, and turn around and you look the other way. SL being a 3D environment... actually had me doing that! But it is not real life, and people can't be all that bothered if they are being followed... and what started off as a sleazy sleuth type thing , turned into quite an enriching conversation!
I am hoping that he will choose to be a part of this project because I found that some of the things we were thinking and talking about were very similar.

I will upload soon the next part of this conversation once I edit it....
I will like to play with sound, voice and music also.... that I think is the next step in terms of the medium.
