The Sculpture Garden Experience
This was a cool final assignemnt. I used a beautiful mural image from our group in Aviary. I created a sphere shape, added the image and tweaked the color. I also added in a glow. After doing this I added in a rotation script and then it started looking like a beautiful sun so I [...]

Hi All: I joined Josephine’s training in SL last night. Over the past few months, I’ve tinkered a bit in SL – and have found it overwhelming and frankly a bit weird. I see the value in being able to openly communicate and co-create with others in this environment; but it seems the interface/GUI still [...]
Like Rebecca, I lost my sculpture and didn’t know how to get it back! Ha ha! I don’t even know what I clicked on, it just started rolling away. I “stood” there mystified, thinking it would eventually come back, like when you take your dog off of her leash. She roams away for a while [...]
I have had some mixed experiences with Second Life. I continue having issues with mobility in general (walking, running, flying—getting oriented in the right directions, etc.); however, after watching the tutorial videos and attending the ‘classes’ with Cassidy and Josephine, I find myself doing a bit better and rather enjoying myself. Last week I went [...]
Hey Megha. Somehow I did manage to get in and onto the class blog; I wish I were familiar with Final Cut Pro–I’m sure it would help with this and future projects. My plan is to buy and learn it over the summer. To answer your question, I’ve never collaborated on a video–but the potential [...]
Hi Everyone, I started to play around with the WeVideo tool. I’ve taken several courses in FinalCutPro – so I found the layout and overall usability very similar (thank god!) and enjoyable to use. And another great affordable tool! FinalCutPro/iMovie and the like can be pretty expensive to buy. The idea of collaboration when it comes to [...]
Well, unless I’m mistaken–it seems that our class blog is working–at least thus far; What an interesting week of readings and viewings–and I have a few comments. I would like to thank whomever composed “Remixes and the Rouelles of Media Productions” for, firstly, introducing me to a new (but apt) term: “prosumers”; secondly, the article [...]
The question and evaluation of the notion of “presence†has a rich history that was well established before the use of Photoshop, Facebook, Skype or any other digital means of generating a ‘presence’ of type, and Leggett’s article reaches into the realm of art (mashups, installations, etc.) to reflect the concept’s multilayered definition. Leggett’s three [...]
Just a few thoughts about Shiga’s article: I’m not too experienced or familiar with mash-ups in what appear to be their original ‘form’—music remixes; however, I do appreciate the fact that the form goes beyond the ‘slick’ world of clubs, D.J’s, and all that was happening in the 1990’s, and offers its creators/producers an egalitarian, [...]
Hey all – I wanted to share something I setup that’s helped me a little bit with the blog and keeping up. Â Basically, I didn’t see a way to send notifications to me when there was a new post or new comments. Â Luckily, there’s this great webapp called “If This, Then That,” which is a [...]
