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.

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.

An iClone video using voices from two great Second Life actors, Kayden Oconnell and MadameThespian Underhill. They perform an awesome version of the famous ‘Whos on First, Whats on Second” skit made famous by Abbot and Costello, but using the voices and personas of George Burns and Gracie Allen in their heyday.

Avatars were generated in iClone by CodeWarrior Carling using the stock avatars and sliders.

Thanks for visiting our blog. We won’t be posting often, but we hope when we do post something you find it entertaining and useful.

Ideajuice Studios is a very small company created by CodeWarrior Carling, an avatar in the Second Life® virtual world, to produce and publish machima made there and with other emerging tools such as iClone, DX Studio and Moviestorm.

Machinima are videos made using game engines or other virtual reality applications by recording the players actions in real time and then editing the resulting footage using normal techniques that apply to any other video.

You can view many of the machinima produced by Ideajuice Studios on other parts of our site. These blogs are more of a place for us to share our thoughts on other things we think will be of interest to our friends and fans.
