Cinemassively: Machiniminute, Episode 2
Yesterday, Juiceof Prunes showed us how to get started on machinima in the first episode of Machiniminute. Today, we'll look at episode two, which focuses on the interface, mice, and arrows. If you're even an intermediate machinimator, these tutorials will probably not tell you anything new. However, they're quite detailed and fairly painless for the person just starting out.Tip #1 in the video tells you how to hide your user interface (UI). I can't stress enough how important this is for your Second Life machinima. Tip #2 explains how to remove the mouse cursor in Fraps. Tip #3 talks about something that I don't believe will affect you when your UI is off, but for those times when you need the UI on, is very useful. In episode three, which is yet to be released, she'll instruct us on camera angles.
Cinemassively: Machiniminute, Episode 1
Second Life resident, Juiceof Prunes, started a cute series of machinima tutorials under her "Pink Paw Productions" label. In the first episode, she focuses on how to get started with machinima. I'm particularly impressed with her use of Camtasia to prepare the video, as well as her easy to follow instructional style. She even uses CrazyTalk to lipsync her character's dialogue.More specifically, episode 1 gets down to the basics. She shows viewers how to log into SL, what program to use to capture, and what settings to use in both Fraps and the SL client. As the series continues, she plans to go more in-depth into the process.
