Hello. We let you know about our machinima videostream section at our website: http://janicouachita.blogspot.de/search/label/VIDEO

Hello. Here is a interesting chart about the different graphics cards for Second Life: http://janicouachita.blogspot.com/2014/03/compare-graphics-cards-for-second-life.html

Second Life is full of life. It seems to be like everywhere in the world. Interesting places are visited by much more people in the same time. You just need to find them with well known techniques, like those forum members already gave. Think about, what you would usually do to meet people. By the way, there are daily roughly 1.000.000 (one million!) residents logged in to Second Life.

How does the tests show it? :smileysurprised::smileyvery-happy: And the light shineth in darkness [...] Thank you and arton Rotaru, Perrie Juran, Soda Gnome & Chic Aoen for replying. Why Singularity Viewer is 12% faster? In which circumstances? There are many unanswered questions. In fact one of the reasons of this posting is to show what you can make possible with worse or the most worst hardware composition :matte-motes-nerdy: you can use for Second Life; and so people would usually not think about starting with machinima videos. I want to show there is a possibility. The first step should be, to start analyzing your hardware. Hardware we used for this test: A Laptop with Intel Pentium T3400 / 2.16 GHz, 2 GB RAM, Intel GMA X3100 Graphics Software we used for the test: Windows 7, Fraps, Firestorm Viewer, Singularity Viewer Imagine the viewer setup in these circumstances: low, very low, but in fact for each the same graphics and network settings. So what we discovered is a 12% advantage in Singularity Viewer against Firestorm Viewer in "Phoenix Mode" (Firestorm Surface even a little bit slower). So what we can say is, everyone who is interested in producing machinima videos, should try the different Viewer's on the market, try a setup that fits to the working conditions & start with your videos :catwink: This is for sure not "THE TRUTH" but maybe it can help you and give on one or other less or more hope, seeing that all is possible even in bad conditions.

arton Rotaru wrote: 12% faster than what? No offense, but that video looks pretty much like a Stop Motion movie still. FPS Tests in same conditions with different viewers ended in a minimum 12% performance jump with Singularity which is the reason for smooth videos. Stop motion effects can be caused by old computer technique that results in a slow playback.

Tests show Singularity is 12 % faster. The result: smooth machinima videos, even with minimum hardware performance. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDTf3LbBc1Y

Thanks for letting us know about your music and video. Thinking your music is far away from being monotonous and thats what we like - and the video: we liked the dance moves in the end, especially the parts with camera movements (supports the music in our opinion) Wish you all the best, the Ouachitas

New awesome photos & videos

I remember to this post and video; today I have to laugh very hard :manlol:

I bet it's a nice SIM, but since i cant see it I need to tell: I want to see machinima(s)

Love to read over the comments :smileyhappy: Here comes Part II: "On their way to Ooumpay Caghli Babadjad, the Ouachita's met so crazy different people..."

ImaTest wrote: First, I don't think your entire video was all bad. There are some good points. I can understand why you see it as art. Art comes in many forms, and we all aren't going to like every bit. We have different tastes, different likes and dislikes, and that's what makes the world go 'round.(ok, not really, but it sounds nice) You do take your shots from some interesting angles, I'll give you that. The video would have a lot more merit, however, if you could determine who your audience actually is. I can honestly say I have no clue who you were presenting for. It's very difficult to make anything that will appeal to all, much less a video like this. So when doing things like this, or rather when editing things like this that you've created, it's a good idea to know who it is you're presenting it too. If it's just the general population, as in, nothing of any special interest, then skipping out on most of the effects would be the best. Not because they're terrible, but because you will very, very quickly lose your audience. They have no reason to stick around when it's all over the place. Not only will some come back and say wth did you just make me watch, but they may even decide your work isn't worth looking at ever again. I know, even if they did say that, you probably wouldn't care, most people wouldn't. But you should care. Art is meant to be shared, imo. Unless you're only making it for yourself, of course. The music does not fit with the effects, the video subject or any of the angles you used. It's not bad music, I happen to like it actually. It just does not make a fitting theme. Well, really the video has no real theme. I think that's part of the problem with the video. The music, the angles, the effects, none of it pairs up too well. That's the sort of thing that makes people wonder what it was you were going for. To be honest I don't see this video as being a comparison or even a somewhat mirrored image of rl London. Again, not because it's necessarily bad, but because you just have no meeting of the minds between the two. There's no real definition saying "this is what the video is about". It's just lacking that extra something. I'm not certain what that something is specifically though. I just know if I had seen the video first and then read the thread, I'd have no bloody clue what you were going for. All in all not a terrible video, but not one I'd tell others to check out either. I'm not being mean by telling you this, or putting you down. I am just giving you some constructive criticism that may help you when you decide to do more videos. I can quite clearly see it's something you enjoy, and I think you should stick to it. Personally I'd do a bit more research on that sort of subject(video creation) as I'm not quite certain you're there just yet. That's likely why it's difficult to tell where you were going with the video. Of course there is always room for improvement, for all of us. There is one bad note though, that I simply must throw out there, sorry. The video, or at least the first part, seems like an ad for a store, more than anything else. Not just an ad for a store, but a very bad ad for a store. I'm guessing that's not where you were going with it though. It's the first bits of videos, like that, which should be captivating enough to make us want to continue watching, I didn't see that here. Perception, like most things, will vary person to person. What you see in your work, others very well may not. What you believe is crystal clear, others will think looks like a jumbled mess of who knows what. Keep at it, and I'm pretty sure you'll do great things with your skills. That all said, having your partner, friend, or self come in here to chastise people for insulting you, was a bit of a thumbs down for your own video. People will see that and, well it probably won't bode well for you as far as gaining exposure is concerned. Yes I realize people may have been rude, may have insulted you and may say things you don't like. Acting like a child in retaliation isn't any better though. We're all guilty of it, we all act like immature kiddies from time to time. We all, also, from time to time, need someone to tell us to knock it off. If you're going to put things like your work out on display for the public, you have to grow a thicker skin..The both of you. Creators deal with this all the time. I don't just mean creators within sl either. You have to accept that others won't always respond in a kind manner. You have to accept that others won't always see it your way. You don't have to like it, but you do have to accept it. You also have to accept that by putting yourself, and your work, out there for the public you will be judged not just on the work itself but also how you respond to commentary. Your feedback is great. Thank you very much for taking time to write so clearly about your feelings. For sure not everybody can like this video.

You judge very fast, blame people and produces a surrounding full of negative energy. I want to see a excuse. I`m sorry, i will remove my compliment for your normal vid you posted... So it was faked from the beginning?

Alicia please stop your harrassment. It has nothing to do with the topic. I decided to report it. You judge very fast, blame people and produces a surrounding full of negative energy. I want to see a excuse.

Canoro Philipp wrote: the manufacture of the place is gorgeous, very well done, i like the effects of lightning, it really make the place stand out, sometimes you doubt that you are seeing something made in second life, is so artistic and realistic, i like the music too, i appreciate that genre. some constructive criticism: the form of publicizing is too extreme, too oriented to a certain type of public, maybe you wanted to portray energy, movement, but is too chaotic, it contrast with the order of the place, and doesnt let the spectator appreciate the place as much as it wants or needs, you could try making a video with smooth camera movements to let everyone appreciate the details of the place and to get a broader appeal, you can use a genre of music that the majority would accept as a pleasant experience. another thing, you could have the names of the people participating in a single frame, the intro lets people wait too much. I can understand if people enjoy the way of smooth camera movements. I use these camera movements too (have a look to our YouTube channel) For sure there are no limits to make movies. What I do is art and I try new ways in hope people are ready to talk about their feelings. This is why i use this forum. Sometimes peoples communication end in a attacking rude and unrespectful harrasment (looking to Alicia Sautereau). Thank you for your constructive criticism. Its worthy. For the attackers here a smoother video from past time:

Alicia Sautereau wrote: I think...no, i`m starting to report your crap as spam, how trollolol is that for you? You are writing so rude. Is there a reason for attacking peoples work with "crap" ? What about reporting yourself? If you have something you want to talk about, what about communication instead of attacking? Think positive! Hugs <3
