Well, the Virtual Thirst Contest is over, and the winner video is out. Some people you might know made it into the video. Gideon, TheDiva, and a well known Neko made it into the video (she’s at the end). Another lesser known Neko also made it in into the video for a brief moment. See if you can spot the lightning.

It’s a pretty good video.

Persistence does pay off. An improved version of my previous YouTube video. I found service that will host 5GB of “stuff” for free - eSnips. So, I’ve created an account and I put the video up there.

The file is pretty large, 17MB, but it’s nice and smooth. Yes, I’m working on audio next….

Torley has some tips on how to get a YouTube video to play in Second Life. It uses as free online service called Vixy that converts YouTube videos into more usable formats.

So,I tried some machinima on Second Life. It’s nothing fancy, just an experiment. I used Fraps for the capture and Virtualdub for the conversion of the capture to MPEG4. I’m sort of annoyed. I could not get a large size capture uploaded to Google Video. It keep enigmatically failing with the error condition… failed. I think my problem is I do not have any audio on the video.

So, Zoe suggested putting it on YouTube. So, I created a YouTube account, and uploaded the video. I was a bit disappointed in that it shrunk it down really small and it’s pretty fuzzy. The source compressed video is 17MB. I’m going to try working on it again this weekend, but I thought I’d put it up anyway….
