Speaking In Oz: Two Machinima-Based Second Life Talk Shows From Australia
I recently did two SL-based talk show appearances to chat up my book, both coincidentally hosted by Australian Residents. I talk Resident frustrations with Lindens (and vice versa), a 3D pot plant carnival, and more with the lovely and talented Paisley Beebe of SLCN.TV's Tonight Live-- watch it here. Shortly before that, the gregarious Angelico Babii had me on Metaverse-tv.com's Late Show, talking virtual political campaigns, the birth of the metaverse, and beyond. Watch that one here. (By the way, the story I tell Angelico about the kidnapped monkey, the timorous terrorists, and Baccara Rhodes' summer cottage in the war zone is here.) Both great hosts, asking smart questions, in quality productions worth a full watch; I'm fascinated by the devotion to creating a TV-like setting. Interestingly enough, though the interviews were conducted in voice, neither host used the Second Life VOIP client, preferring Skype instead. (Lip animations were added in post-production.)
