Australian Second Life Documentary – any celebrities out there?

April 23, 2008 by Metaverse Journal Editor Leave a Comment

Well-known Australian Second Life resident Wolfie Rankin has some interesting news:

Hi Everyone.

Some of you are aware that I’m making a documentary with Shelley Matulik on Second Life.

Shelly made the Podlove doco which was shown on SBS about the couple who run the nightclub on Second Life.

It was called “Our Brilliant Secondlife” and can be watched here.

The new doco is mostly on Second Life sub-culture.

But Shelly has also considered the idea of finding famous people from “Real Life” who have avatars on SL, who might like to add their voice to the doco on their own experiences.

Now I thought about that and while it’s a nice idea, I was concerned about peoples covers being blown. so what we thought is that if you’re tempted, then it might be best to get yourself an alt which nobody knows and use that.

You don’t have to be a huge megastar, just have a face which makes people go “ohhh I know you”.

It’d help if you’re from Melbourne or Sydney, but Shelley may travel if need be.

If you think you might be interested, then drop me an IM so that we can get together in-world to discuss the matter in private.

All the Best.

Wolfie!

I’m aware of a celebrity or two in Second Life – it’ll be interesting to see the level of buy-in for this project from people who value their privacy so highly. Celebrities or not, it’s potentially an interesting documentary that’s likely to go beyond the standard Second Life angles usually employed.

    “Celebrities or not, it’s potentially an interesting documentary that’s likely to go beyond the standard Second Life angles usually employed.”

    Definately, I think everyone is thoroughly tired of the sex and gambling stories associated with Secondlife.
