This SL Machinima Music Video Set to "Farrah Fawcett Hair" May Make Your Own Hair Stand Up

This is a Second Life machinima music video cut to Capital Cities' "Farrah Fawcett Hair", and seeing as it's one of the most impressive SL machinimas I've seen in some time, you may want to see it now:

Much thanks to Alicia for the tip. Created by Trace Osterham, I particularly love the use of video/TV displays, so the music keeps playing out within various, well-chosen Second Life settings, and the photography with dynamic lighting, helping convey the sense of a lived-in world. (Seriously, this thing had me at the virtual curtain flapping in the virtual wind.)

This video brings up another thought: Are we in a mini-Renaissance of Second Life music video machinima?

Because Trace's video popped up shortly after this machinima set to MJ's "Smooth Criminal", and this one set to Melanie Martinez's "Dollhouse", also quite impressive in their own right. This feels like a new generation of machinimators who've discovered Second Life as a pretty excellent low-budget tool for creating video footage and matching it to music of all kinds.

This makes your hair stand up more!

Why would a bona-fide Machinima use case want to deploy a predatory vendor, like Linden Lab Second Life TOS 2.3?

#SecondLife TOS 2.3 violates Berne Convention for Protection of Literary+Artistic Works

You keep making that assertion, but can you cite an example of Linden Lab ever using its "predatory" TOS to go after a machinima creator? Dozens of for-profit companies have used SL machinima in their IP, including several feature films and TV shows, not to mention thousands of indie content creators who have monetized SL machinima through YouTube. If Linden Lab is "predatory" with its TOS, how come the company has never gone after any of them?

Linden Lab should put their money where their mouth is, and keep up with competitive comparisons.

You didn't answer my questions, and instead, put up a bunch of irrelevant links. So once again:
