Machinimoo

The Machinimasia Festival took place yesterday.  Not sure what time because of the conversion, but they haven’t announced winners yet.  The sole Second Life entry that made it, as far as I can tell, is Pierce Portocarrero’s Game Over.  He’s a finalist in the Open Category.

Did anyone else submit to this?  Why hasn’t LL made a comment on who they sent to the Festival?  Is it because only one person was nominated?  Wouldn’t that mean that Pierce should have gone?

Did I mention contests? There really are quite a few going on. I’ll organize them by deadline, not importantance, so here goes:

Mike Moran wrote in about a 24 hour contest sponsored by Apple:

• On Friday, November 10 at 5 p.m. Eastern (2 p.m. Pacific), we will post a list of three elements that you will need to incorporate into your story. From that time, you will have 24 hours to finish and submit your completed short film.

Please remember to read the terms and conditions on this one as there are quite a few.
