An excerpt from Little Wooden Boy and the Little Jewish Genie for viewing by the audience at a conference that was held in Second Life on Saturday Jan 23, 2010. If you are viewing this on my blog, don’t watch this excerpt – watch the full length version a couple of posts earlier.

The conference was organized by Phaylen Fairchild and among the attendees were representatives from the William Morris talent agency and several other media companies. The focus of the conference was to discuss and explore ways in which machinima and virtual worlds could be used by traditional media concerns to produce content.

CodeWarrior Carling of Ideajuice Studios was one of the panel members along with Chantal HArvey, Pooky Amsterdam and Rosco Teardrop. The conference ran for approximately 2 1/2 hours, well over what was anticipated, largely due to a very strong interest by the audience in a Q&A session that took place after the formal part of the conference was over.

This is Ideajuice Studios entry in the 2009 48 Hour Film Project (machinima edition).

This years team consisted of just CodeWarrior Carling and Evie Fairchild. The genre we were assigned was science fiction, and all teams were required to use a book as a prop, feature a character named Bobbi Stuart who was a baker, and to use the line of dialog “are you sure about that?”.

We successfully submitted our film on time, and were judged to be the film that made the best use of the line of dialog. We used avatars from many different places, and were granted permission by Madcow Cosmos to use a wonderful set of objects he made for our ‘Asterknot Traning’ facility.

Featuring aliens, children, dogs, kittens, cupcakes and fresh baked bread, we hope you enjoy watching this as much as we enjoyed making it.

A video produced completely with iClone and featuring voice acting by several prominent Second Life personalities. Pooky Amsterdam plays the voice of the Genie, Thundergas Menges plays the voice of the orc, and CodeWarrior Carling plays the remaining parts.

The musical score was written by Evie Fairchild using Sonic Fire Pro. iClone and Crazy Talk work as well as video editing was done by CodeWarrrior Carling.

This is by far Ideajuice Studios most popular machinima to date, and a sequel is already being planned.
