The National Space Society is pleased to present the first “NSS in SL” machinima contestant exhibition showing and award ceremony. Please join us for this wonderful event that combines Second Life arts and sciences.  Celebrating the mission of the NSS for space exploration and the technical and artistic expertise of machinima artists is what this event is about. If you are interested in space, science fiction, animated films, music in Second Life, or filmmaking in a virtual world, please join us for this event! One winner will walk away with 100,000 lindens! There is plenty of room at the UWA’s BOSL Amphitheater—I’m told it seats 200 with no lag—so bring a friend!

This unprecedented machinima event sees the teaming up of two Linden Prize Finalists (Archivist Llewellyn of the Library and Archive at NASA CoLab (NASA JPL/Caltech), and Taralyn Gravois and Jayjay Zifanwe of the The University of Western Australia, along with with Archivist Llewellyn and  Ariel Miranda of the National Space Society. This partnership is another exercise in serendipity as the NSS Machinima event was inspired by UWA’s own Machinima Challenge which completed early this year.

The winner of the 2010 NSS in SL Machinima Contest was selected by the Executive Director of the National Space Society, Gary Barnhard.  The event and videos will be featured on the NSS website, the NSS magazine AdAstra, the Society’s newsletter and other media outlets.

CraigLyons Writer, who graciously permitted his music to be used in the videos, will be performing LIVE during the event.
Craig is a professional musician whose music has been featured on national television programs in the United States (“So You Think You Can Dance”, “The Real World”) and on Japanese television.
