Ariella Languish

Hello eveyone! I am helping a dedicated SL team find a machinimatographer for their corporate client project. I can't commit due to some personal things going on right now. I want to find them the absolute best person. This project would be paid and you would just send the team a quote/estimate after hearing more about the project. The person needs to have experience shooting a lot of corporate machinima (or just have a great reel), plus editing equipment, and all the equipment and be able to work as a one person team within a strict deadline. They have to be AWESOME at directing a scene, setting up actors, and editing (including screening cuts, basic titles, and really sharp editing skills). If you're interested, please send an email with your reel to ariella@ariellafurman.com This is a really great opportunity!

thank you!!

Hello! I am working on a machinima project where I am responsible for creating about 40-45 avatars. They are all different- different ethnicities as well as ages. Does anyone know if there is a database or library of full prepared avatars? Most of the ones I am finding are young looking and sexy and don't fit the "real" type of people this machinima represents, where they might be older and curvier. Thanks so much!

Seeking extras to use their avatar for a project filming this Sunday from 12PM SLT - 3:30 PM SLT. Pay is 700L per hour. You will need to dress in casual clothes as you will be representing a student at a university- so polos, jeans, sweaters, loose slacks. Can be male or female. No tattoos or piercings, they have to all be boy or girl next door look. Must have voice, at least to hear the direction of the person filming. It should be a really fun shoot- most of what you will be doing is sitting and/or walking around a university courtyard to make it look full-- we will give you instruction as far as where to stand. You'll meet a lot of other machinima actors, so this is a great opportunity if you're interested! Please email Ariella@AriellaFurman.com if you are interested and if you can do the entire timeslot on Sunday. Thank you!

Hello everyone! I am working on a low budget machinima project and am looking for a particular coffehouse/cafe location in Second Life that is realistic to a real place. Something like this : http://www.hooverlibrary.org/files/coffee-cafe_0.jpg I would like to ask the owner to use their location, if it is good for what we're looking for and pay them a stipend for using it (rather than building it from scratch). Does anyone have any suggestions for a modern looking coffeehouse or diner with tables/chairs, realisitc looking, etc? Thanks! We are also open to buying some kind of diner model on the Marketplace.

thank you!!

Hello! I am having issues where I am shooting a machinima that requires avatar lips to move when they use voice. When my camera gets too far away, I notice that the lips stop moving! They sometimes get stuck with the lips wide open and it looks weird. When I move my camera back in, it starts moving the lips again. Is there anything I can do about this issue? This only happens in mesh enabled and shadow enabled viewers. But I need mesh and shadows on.

Hello! I am seeking a Machinima actor for Tuesday and Wednesday- very simple work: log into an avatar that is already dressed and prepped and read a few lines from a script as I record a bunch of angles over a few hours. I will not be recording your voice for the project, but just need you to read lines through the mic so I can sync them to the audio files later. You don't need to be an experienced actor- just need to know how to use Second Life and be somewhat skilled with using SL (changing your shirt, sitting, standing, walking, etc). The dates are for Tuesday August 21st from 12PM SLT to 5PM SLT and Wednesday August 22nd from 3PM SLT to 6 PM SLT. The pay is 750 L per hour. Please email Ariella@AriellaFurman.com if you are able to participate on either or both of those days (preferably both). Male or female is fine!

Hello everyone! I am shooting a machinima and I need to type commands in the chatbox in Second Life while I am shooting, but it doesn't accept me hitting "enter" when my HUD is off. So in other words, my HUD is off and I want to type /202 cam1 and I hit enter so it appears in chat, causing a command to happen. However, I literally have to turn my HUD back on (ctrl, start, alt, F1) for the text to appear in chat. It never used to do this. I can still type and communicate with my hud off. Is there any way I can enable this again?

answered my own question. Thank you!
