SL doco
Sunday, May 18th, 2008I was watching the news on SBS tonight, and there was a story on a new doco that’s become a cult hit, which led to interests from cable networks…because it was entirely shot in Second Life. That pricked my curiosity as the group assignment that I’m currently working on involves Second Life.
Molotov Alva and his search for his creator: a Second Life odyssey, a series of ten shorts filmed in Second Life, is the work of Douglas Gayeton who based the work around his own experiences as avatar Molotov Alva. He seeks to tackle the issues of virtual identities with the doco, and called his avatar’s explorations “a Marco Polo story for our times”. His goal was to make something for those who have never experienced Second Life, but were curious about virtual worlds and what they mean for society.
It’s truly fascinating stuff. Check out the preview on youtube, and you can watch the entire doco of ten shorts on the cinemax website:

So what has this got to do with e-learning?
