Wonderful trailer, Bunky! I cannot wait for the full version. Dr Noob was brilliant.

Loving the way you both turn into superheroes.

I am beginning to believe you CAN actually make a silk purse out of a sow's ear!

You are awesome.

Hilarious...

This is promising, but I think you need voice in it.  I would probably want to post the mini-movie on my blog if it had voice. --TKR

And in my opinion, it doesn't need voice, just in case you want to keep a tally of pro-voice to anti-voice, Bunky.

I think you are superb, just as you are. You stand out from a lot of people who claim to be machinima makers.

@ Thinkerer - are you running some kind of cult? :matte-motes-wink-tongue:  (I know you probably mean well, and give a lot of people excellent guidance (which would seem to be mostly information collated from these forums and chinese whispered into your own words), but IMO its just bad form to take people away from the central official information point that is Second Life onto a private ego-boosting website.)

Thanks for all your feedback :matte-motes-big-grin:

 

Regarding voice, I make 'silent' films for several reasons;

 

- SL is largely a 'silent' environment. Voice in SL is the exception, not the norm.

- Silent films are more universal because they transcend language barriers

- Silent fims are more challenging from a film making perspective, and rely on action and gestures (and music) to tell the story, making for a more fast-paced film that is less complex and hopefully more enjoyable for potential viewers, who generally have a short attention span when it comes to online video.

- Unless you are a professional voice actor, voice can sound pretty amateurish and detract from the experience. Plus I hate the sound of my own voice, and my actors do too.

 

That's my opinion anyway. It doesn't bother me if you don't want to link my film on your blog. My work gets picked up by plenty of great machinima sites, such as the excellent Mal Burns Second Arts

Haha! Glad you liked it Maryanne! I look forward to seeing some of your SL movies in the future :matte-motes-big-grin-squint:

I love the Grief Busters concept.

Are you interested in it being a live action movie or do you prefer animated 2/3D?

If it were a live action movie who would you cast in the lead roles?

 

What's your dreamShow? Starring who?
