Corey in da house!!!
I gave a little tour to Corey, our new main protagonist for L2L yesterday. A tour of Second Life. While familiar and actually pretty darn high up in the WoW community, Corey is a relative newbie in SL. He has been in there exploring a few times and met already a lot of what I call “key residents” (=movers and shakers), but it was incredibly exciting for me to see his virtual eyes light up, when he realized, that this world is, as Linden Lab has advertised for years, “created BY ITS RESIDENTS”.

I realized that people on the outside, familiar with video games and MMO’s, often times do not know, that SL is nothing but a blank canvas. Only the creative energy of its residents has brought to life this world, no matter if it is a replica of the Cologne Dome, US Capitol Hill or the Magic of Oz sim. Corey, who is left paralyzed after a terrible car accident 6 years ago, was ecstatic to say the least . When I rezzed a wooden cube, he said: “wow, this is like they have a CAD design software built into this thing”!
Welcome Corey, looking forward to working with you on this project. Our short trip brought us from the Berkman sandbox, to virtual Paris and over to Adam Ramonas interactive sound sculptures. Corey then ventured into a furry club with his new friend Teeny, a DJ there.

There we go, deadlines are closing in on us, thoughts are being squeezed through the bottleneck of production necessities, time is running short and THEY clearly outnumber us… (whoever they are)
Just the way we like it!
No kidding, producing a movie ain’t no piece of cake, bro. Now this is it, the call for support – rally to the flag of Login 2 Life, ’cause we need all the help we can get. Spread the word, tell the story, add us to your list (only if it’s a favourable one of course), and do drop by again to get the news.
We’re gonna be at Berlin Film Festival aka Berlinale within the next 2 weeks to promote the movie, find b2b partnership and get it out there (eventually there will be a detailed report of the behind the scenes action and all the partying with Mr. Weinstein as soon as I got some time available to share it with you).
Btw, in case any reader of this (team-members excluded of course) should be up there and would like a meet-and-greet, just drop us a line, we’ll be there…
Keep your fingers crossed and your thumbs up! See ya…
this is the year!!! (belated wishes)
It is late January 2009: Obama is in office, I am losing some weight, my son is getting smarter by the minute: good times! But most importantly: Daniel Moshel is hard at work on Login2Life treatment. The project is on track, my regular blogging is not, but what the hell: we are moving along swiftly with the main protagonist found, we are having ongoing discussions about the significance of virtual worlds and gaming, the future of communication in a networked world and how we want our project to reflect these developments, the tone, the style and yes, the distributionin foreign markets. May I be on record with (one of) my new years resolution(s): update the blog on a weekly basis, minimum. you heard it here first!
Please vote for titels….NOT .-)
I played around with the titel animation sequence login2life several months ago. Recently I found it on my harddisk and added supersound to it. I thought I should give them an audience. When principal photography start in May this year we should reconsider our titel animation. Here you can see the way how it became what it became concerning the pre trailer.
1) Blade II poser very commercial style
2) LED trendy “not again” style
3) The modest ‘a bit more than Jim Jarmusch’ way
Happy new year
So we are back again in our working seats. That means it is time o say thank you to all friends, teammates, documentary cast, old and new cooperation partners supporting us during the last year. We are really glad to announce that we have all ingredients together to assimilate a good story and you all made this possible. It just hast to be written on blank paper. So this will be the effort of the coming two months. We keep you updated.
Thx, thx and thx again.

We are widening our entering premises and still looking for a protagonist.
What, or rather who are we looking for now? This time it is very simple: A female or male person, who is strongly benefiting from his/her activities in a MMORPG and in Second Life for her/his real life- please be aware, the dual residence is NOT a must but we would appreciate if you are experienced in both worlds.
If you can’t imagine now what we are searching, then let us give you few examples: For instance you got a real life job through engaging heavily in a MMORPG or in SL, or you are isolated in a special way and you keep in touch with other folks in participating on these upper mentioned platforms, or e.g. you are physically handicapped and you are enjoying synthetic social systems without stigma.
Short summary:
. Male/Female
. benefiting from MMORPG activities for your real life
. solid experience within any MMORPG and/or SL
. time and interest to be part of the project and in front of a camera
. apply including short CV and a description about you
Curious? Or even interested? Please mail to: contact@login2life.net
