Machinima shortcuts

Hiding the Second Life Interface:

To make the whole User Interface (UI) disappear, you can either use a shortcut or through the advanced menu.
Press Ctrl-Alt-⇧ Shift-D to make the Advanced menu appear.
Then go to 'Rendering', unclick 'Show UI'. That will make all the UI disappear. If you want to get the UI back use the shortcut: Ctrl-Alt-F1.

Next Tuesday: 3 pages of storyboards

At the beginning of Tuesday's class, have your three ages of storyboard for your script finished. We'll go over the storyboards, and assign roles for creating your Machinima, in class.

Next class: Script Due

At the beginning of next class, have a one or two page script for a Machinima we'll create in Second Life, using at least one of the buildings the class has created as a "movie set." As a reminder, here are the building we have at our disposal:

PARTHENON
BEACH HOUSE
CLUB
CASTLE

You don't have to limit yourselves to the ideas we came up in the brainstorm session. But for those of you who missed it, here are a few of the ideas we threw up on the whiteboard --

Self-referential story about waking up and being stuck in Second Life
Religious sacrifice made at the Parthenon
Murder at the Club House
Nutso art critic showing off the art in the club
Time traveler going back in time to the castle, and finding life is simpler there (while someone living in that time thinks it's a terrible time to be alive)

Remember the avatars that we have at our disposal. The story can be told in any sort of mode you can think of -- interior monologue, dialogue, faux-documentary. Have fun with it, and we'll read them off next class.
