New World Products: Machinima Master Lainy Voom Sells Second Life Housewares (Supremely)

If you're wondering what happened to Lainy Voom, the acclaimed machinimatrix who created "The Stolen Child" and a number of other short masterpieces, here's the thing: Since last February, she's been making and selling Second Life housewares under a brand called LISP Bazaar. [SLurl at this link] She suggested to me modestly that it was just cutesy, everyday stuff. But have a look at the machinima commercial she made for her products, and tell me if "cutesy" is what comes to mind when you watch. More like gauzy glimpses into a home from another era's dreams:

She shot the video in in Emerald "before all the drama emerged", she tells me; the light in the window is not a special effect, but actually a sculpted prim by Yuki Aabye. As for how much this whole set costs, it can all be yours for L$1,000. Even better, Lainy says she places to use her furnishings in an upcoming machinima.

This seems like a great place to film a fairy tale story in.

Wagner, do you know if anyone is doing that yet? The SL/OpenSim platforms seems a perfect way to film kids' fairy tales. You could a new modern film, Shrek style, or redo any of the classics -- they're all out of copyright.

And then the kids could even come and visit the world, after. Well, not now since the Teen Grid is off, but maybe on a private OpenSim grid.)
