Another machinima! He’s Watching You is a more abstract video this time, combining and overlaying video and audio. He’s Watching You from Tizzy Canucci on Vimeo. The video uses material from a performance last weekend (11 June 2016) by SaveMe Oh, with music provided by Echo Starship. There was a previous performance with SaveMe Oh and […]
Strawberry Singh has revived her Machinima and Movie Poster Challenge for this month. First run in 2013, you can see details and comments about folk’s lists on Strawberry’s blog. The only thing I would add to her post is that there are also a lot of machinima on Vimeo too. Readers of this blog will […]
Creativity goes through phases and at the moment mine is very much around video and the blog is being a bit neglected. Video content is becoming increasingly in marketing, so there’s a bit of a connection with real life and it’s also partly a question of time. And it’s also about the flow of ideas, […]
My latest work is very short – ‘Solitude’ – a film poem. I did something that had a similar kind of form last year, but I only discovered earlier this year that the film poem (or poetic avant-garde film, verse-film or verse-documentary) was an existing idea with a history.

A bleak, open sim, it’s based on a real life place – an island off the northeast coast of Sweden, where a limestone factory was turned into a hotel. Furillen has been recreated […]
‘Biomechanical’ is a fascinating bot performance produced in Second Life.

The installation was inspired by the actor training methods developed by Russian theater director Vsevolod Meyerhold (1874-1940). More information on […]
For Christmas, a new video – The Missing Mile: She Came for Christmas. In it, I’ve cut a public domain archive animation from the 1950s with Second Life action. The archive film is a great little piece about the importance of maintaining your house, with the devil’s project manager overseeing the collapse of neighbourhoods. It clearly […]
Last Sunday marked the final weekend of Nitroglobus Gallery. Dido Haas will be creating a new Hall – with the passing of Nitro Fireguard, her partner in Second Life, she had decided the old Gallery they created together should go. It could never be the same. So in that great space that was characteristic of […]
