48 Hour Machinima In Second Life This Weekend

This weekend there will be a 48 hour film project going on in Second Life. Over 300 filmmakers will be making films during the weekend and this event will take place in the UWA-BOSL Theater. This 48 hour film project started in 2007 and this seems to be happening yearly in Second Life. Chantal Harvey is one of Second Life’s premier Machinima makers.

The 48 Hour Film Project (48HFP) is a wild and sleepless weekend in which participating teams make a movie—write, shoot, edit and score it—in just 48 hours. On Friday night, each team gets assigned a character, a prop, a line of dialogue and a genre, all to include in their movie. 48 hours later, the movie must be complete.
