As gleaned from my open forum, here's three panels related to Second Life proposed for SXSW 2010. If you like them, create a free SXSW account, click each link, vote and comment in the thread attached to each:
- Using Machinima to Market Your Brand: As presented by Sasha Rudie, well known in SL as Moo Money, here's the description: "This session will discuss the specific uses of machinima, copyright issues, what game engines work best, and how it can be made for a fraction of the cost of traditional video."
- Second Life: Where Are They Now? Presented by John Swords, known as Johnny Ming in SL, formerly with The Electric Sheep Company, fellow panelists confirmed include Mark Wallace (formerly of 3pointD.com and now OperationTurtle.com) and C.C. Chapman (of The Advance Guard, formerly of Crayon), and Erica Driver of ThinkBalm. Here's the description: "Second Life was all the rage just a few years ago. Talked about at every technology conference and covered by mainstream media, it quickly went from being hyped to being ignored. Learn what happened to Second Life and and find out where its earliest creators, users and embedded journalists are now."
- Virtual Television: Collaboration & Communities: Proposed by Keren Flavell of Treet.TV (known as Starr Sonic in SL), here's the description: "The genre of filmmaking called machinima has achieved mainstream recognition with celebrated productions shot in games like Halo, World of Warcraft and Second Life. Less widely known are the emerging trends in collaborative production using 3D worlds that result in live broadcasts to multiple platforms including into the virtual spaces themselves."
