48 Hour Film Project in Second Life

Aspiring Machinimists, this is your chance to show the world your unique vision. The 48 Hour Film Project is an event meant to showcase the creativity and innovation of filmmakers around the world. The idea is simple: you have a weekend to create a movie. On Friday night, you get a character, a prop, a line of dialogue and a genre, all to include in your movie. Simple, no?

Now it's been opened to Second Life, with the goal being a Machinima at the end of the weekend. Same structure, same rules. This event is being co-held with Millions of Us in conjunction with the 48 Hour Film Project. It all begins Friday, January 11th at 4:00 p.m. SL Time, and ends the following Sunday. Every entry will screen in the New Globe Theater in SL on Wednesday, January 16th and Thursday, January 17th starting at 5:00 p.m. SL Time. The winning movie will be screened in real life at Cinequest in San Jose, CA, March 2008. Start your planning now; it's harder than it sounds!
