Tutsy Navarathna’s machinimas never fail to amaze me. The latest, MetaPhore<\/em>, exceeds any I’ve seen before and received awards at both the University of Western Australia in Second Life’s MachinimUWA VII competition and on the same day, was winner of the SciFi Film Festival’s Screen my Short<\/em> award.<\/p>\n

You can see it at SL12B<\/a> by teleporting to maps.secondlife.com\/secondlife\/SL12B%20Wonderous\/98\/180\/22<\/a>. Upon rezzing you’ll see five chairs. Sit in one of them and the chair will carry you into the viewing area, where you can watch the machinima.<\/p>\n

You can also watch it on Vimeo (vimeo.com\/110111415<\/a>)or YouTube (www.youtube.com\/watch?v=zby0oM5xqaE<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Like all of Tutsy Navarathna’s machinimas, MetaPhore<\/em> is filmed exquisitely. You’ll find some still frames from it below. I won’t give away the plot here, but it’s a love story, said to be based on a true story, with a twist that anyone who’s spent any amount of time in virtual worlds will recognize as plausible. If you don’t see it at SL12B, be sure to watch it on Vimeo or YouTube. It’s worth watching.<\/p>\n
