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, […]
Furillen was unusual – it sprang up and disappeared in a very short time. There was no fanfare for closure, and no time for a reprieve. And that was right. Gertrude Jekyll, the great garden designer of the early 20th century, never wanted her gardens preserved. Without the gardener, the garden ceased to be a […]
Well today I’m plugging someone else project! The Lakes International Comic Art Festival is being held for the fourth year in Kendal, a market town in the north west of England. It attracts comic art illustrators and writers from around the world to run workshops The Lakes International Comic Art Festival is being held for […]
A month has slipped by since my last blog post. I’ve been busy in rl, with interviews (fruitless – finding the hole in someone’s project is a good way to avoid trouble later but not a good way to get offered the job), helping my daughter move flats (200 miles from where I live), and […]
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. But there is nothing new in […]
The Colouring of Snow from Tizzy Canucci on Vimeo. This year does seem to mark a change in emphasis in my work. I’ve now completed fifteen machinima since May of last year. None are very long, but each developed from a different idea I wanted to try out. But time is limited and something has […]
At the end of the last week, an idea came together for another machinima, this time located in Furillen in Second Life. 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 built by Jo Ellsmere, and returns to the Split Screen Installation Space in Second Life during January 2016 for about six weeks. The installation was inspired by the actor training methods developed by Russian theater director Vsevolod Meyerhold (1874-1940). More information on […]
