This music video for "MHz" by Scottish band, Vacuum Spasm Babies, is an experiment in mixing traditional film elements with Machinima (Machine-Cinema). "MHz" is available on "The Thin Man" EP through Shark Batter Records (SharkBatter.com). I designed the characters in SecondLife and bought in-world scripts and garments to animate and clothe them. Each dancer's performance was recorded separately against a blue background to disk (using Capture Me freeware screen capture software for Mac OS X). To give a warm lighting I set SecondLife's environment settings to sunset. The old movie footage was filmed by the Edison Company between the late 1800s and 1905-ish, so the copyright's expired. I used iMovie for editing, blue screen effects and the additional colour splodge animation stuff. It's nice to be able to collage the new Machinima techniques with some of the earliest film footage. cheers rogerSIMIAN
