A Second Life Machinima by Robbie Dingo.
(Duration 4'17")

"Frameless heads on nameless walls, with eyes that watch the world and can't forget - like the strangers that you've met". [Don McLean].

Ever looked at your favorite painting and wished you could wander inside, to look at it from different perspectives? Spend a single day in one of mine, from early sunrise on a new day, to dusk when lights come on in cosy homes; through a peaceful night, till morning.

Shot on location in Second Life then post-produced, this was an idea I had a while ago. The Sim in this work was on temporary loan so it's all been swept away now, leaving only the film behind. It was always intended however that the video would be the end product, not the build.

This work is dedicated to the many weird and very wonderful strangers from around the globe I have met, but have never really met.

Higher quality version is available over at my blog. Search for 'My Digital Double Robbie' in Google.

For more info on how this was put together, please read over at New World Notes.

That is very impressive, I would not have dreamed of doing something like that - it is very insperational - I'm sure if Vincent van Gough was still around, he would have loved this tribute to his work as well as Don Mcleans song "Vincent"

Man that would be awesome. I'd be entertained for hours with that thing
