Cinemassively: Game Over

In late 2006, an artist by the name of Pierce Portocarrero would change Second Life. Machinima was growing more popular every day, and Linden Lab had produced their hype machinima, Silver Bells and Golden Spurs. Yet Pierce's film, Game Over, looked nothing like SL. It was almost as if it were a dream world.

Game Over is a love story between two creatures that find themselves facing an environmental disaster. While quite tragic, the cinematography is beautiful. Pierce himself explains how he storyboarded the film, which ended up nominated for multiple awards and winning the Open category at Machinimasia. It's a shame that he's not producing machinima much these days.
