Wednesday Machinima: Android Memories at World's End
In this dark and poignant machinima, an android dreams of better days at the end of the world:
It was created by professional Japanese filmmaker Akira Yamamoto, known in Second Life as Akira Balog, who brilliantly incorporates real video footage and simulated heads-up displays into filtered SL footage to suggest a lot of story in a very short time. The music is by Chouchou, the SL-only music group, and it won an award from the Society for Art and Science, an organization of media professionals. Much thanks to my indispensable Japanese translator Sanny Yoshikawa for this find!
Another brilliant machinima - but all I can think about was the sad story it told (sniff).

That is amazing. So much potential for this kind of thing, I'm glad to see someone doing it.

Is it just me is does the imperfect English of the letter and even the HUD make this more poignant. What a soppy bint I can be.
