Videos in Second Life - A Clear Case of Content 2.0

The small collection of videos made in Second Life offer a fabulous insight into one direction our content world is headed. I watched Suzanne’s Guitar, a curious homage to Suzanne Vega’s appearance on Second Life back in August.

Would be content-creators who lack the finances to do old world content have long dreamed of a virtual reality option where their imaginations could play out alongside limited skill levels. New content technology has that unique feature - it’s hard for everyone at first so you feel like the playing field is more level than you would picking up a video camera.

Also it’s there under one person’s control.

In Suzanne’s guitar an avatar makes a guitar for Suzanne’s concert. Simple idea, simple film, early days. I enjoyed some of the tangential lines and graphics, like I enjoy watching the strings in an orchestra, enjoying the geometry as much as the sound.

Second Life films are art, they’re just not great yet.
