The Harold Lloyd Method of Mass Transit Advertising
I am currently in Singapore, which has one of the most modern mass transit systems (trains to us old folks) in the world. Passengers are even treated to a video entertainment system while onboard. What a great way to advertise to a captive audience! But just how do you advertise using video on a train?

How to Fix the Australian Film Industry
This is a great clip featuring George Miller talking about the forthcoming Mad Max 4. He also talks about the state of the Australian film industry which is in a pretty shocking state at the moment.
George is spot on about what the industry needs. What he doesn’t say, however, is where the money is going to come from.
The experiment of having a pool of government money that is assigned by bureaucrats has produced a plethora of features that even Australian audiences don’t want to watch. The government simply can’t afford to spend the money needed to kickstart the industry and keep it going. Only private capital can do that. Ultimately only a tax concession will rejuvenate Australian film like it did in the late 70s and early 80s when a 150% concession was on offer to investors. It’s not a coincidence that our most successful and most iconic films were created during this era.

Trailer
This is a test we did in Blue Mars. It takes the form of a mock film trailer. Blue Mars offers sublime graphics and New Venice, the region where we filmed most of the trailer, looks amazing. If the developers of Blue Mars can implement some decent machinima tools then it has a wonderful potential for making dramatic machimima, which is something Second Life never really achieved to its full potential.

Commercial – SkyView Home Rentals
This is our latest machinima commercial. It’s for SkyView Home Rentals which offers luxury homes within Second Life. We used a different technique for lip-syncing which we haven’t released publicly before. It works very effectively and increases our productivity over previous methods. What do you think?

Apologies for the lack of blog content of late. We’re doing a bunch of writing and other work which means we don’t have the energy to keep this updated as much as we’d like. But here’s something fun to hopefully make you laugh.
