Acquarella by Alizarin Goldflake

There are many of you who are familiar with Aliz's work I'm sure.

Aliz is an artist in both worlds and has that dedication that lifts her out of the Casual Doodler category into that of a professional as can be seen on her website if you haven't caught her shows in SL yet.

So, after an initial machinima which she took herself of her build "Acquarella", she determined to make an offering for the World Trade Fair in Shanghai.

I was involved as one of the nymphs along with BridgetMarlene McDonnell and Yman Juran , all credited on the machinima below. Chantal Harvey filmed it and cut and edited it to a suitable length for showing in China.

We rehearsed, Aliz rewrote, we rehearsed, Aliz tweaked, etc.... until we knew what we were doing, and Aliz was happy...see the result below.





Colour, No Colour was one of the themes which organiser Aino Baar from OPEN THIS END wanted for the show, and so this little fable fits well within that category.

Direction was by Corcosman Voom and the smooth voice and narration by Alfred Ajami ....all in all a huge amount of work, well done to all involved.

Cole and Bryn in another masterpiece..

This is a piece by ColeMarie for Shanghai and it is, of course, well up to her usual standard. It's called No Colour, one of the Open This End themes for the show there.

The build is by Bryn who excels in that desolate landscape thingy with a few odd plants by me...... as Cole quipped.......Bryn angst meets Soror weed.

ColeMarie is really bringing a completely new medium to life in how she uses Machinima, it is fast becoming HER medium, as she seems to understand how to use it better than those who treat it like a video, which it isn't (and can't be for xx years, (or however long it takes for the graphix to get to film quality).

Her talents with photo manipulation were the first thing that amazed me, maybe two years ago when we first met, and her work in machinima is a direct continuation of those skills she taught herself in 2D image making.

The fact that she also writes and performs music, makes great clothes and amazing particle shows etc, etc....just goes to show she is a mad autonomous robot disguised as a faerie.
