“The Twilight Sim: It’s a Bloomin’ Halloween!”
Premiere in Second Life and on YouTube - October 26, 2012
Time: 6:30 PST
When
four curious teens decide to enter the spooky house on the hill, is it a
frightening dream or a hilarious nightmare? Either way, the eyes have
it.
Running
Lady Studios, (RLS) which brought you the comedy/thriller “Cruise
Control”, and Virtual Girl Productions’ (VGP) are teaming up again.
Last year they brought you the hilarious "Coffee Schlock with AJ -
Special Guest, Harold Camping”. This year, they have a cooked up a
special little treat for your Halloween goodie bags: “The Twilight Sim:
It’s a Bloomin’ Halloween!”
The
animated short, filmed on Linden Lab’s Second Life game platform, was
penned by professional stage and screen actress Gameela Wright (AvaJean
Westland in Second Life) and directed by K. DaVette See (Suzy Yue in
Second Life). The film pokes gentle fun at Halloween tropes and pop
culture icons while following the antics of four teens, a mad scientist, and a trio of precocious little girls. The hills have eyes, but they are REALLY cute eyes.
The
film’s characters are brought to life using the talents of both Second
Life based avatar “puppeteers”, and several Northern California Bay Area
voice actors. Ms. Wright narrates, as her Second Life avatar AvaJean
Westland, this alternately amusing and spooky tale which is sure to
become a YouTube favorite.
Running
Lady Studios (RLS) is K. DaVette See, director, and Rob See (GnuEon
Aeon in Second Life), designer. RLS has produced animated films for IBM
and other companies doing business in Second Life. RLS also
participated in the 48-Hour Film Project’s machinima class, winning the
audience award in 2010 for "Cruise Control" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q5g-fyMjYWE&f, story and screenplay by Alibi Projects. RLS now produces entertainment content for internet distribution.
Gameela
Wright is based in NYC. She formed Virtual Girl Productions (VGP) for
the purpose of developing a sketch comedy webisodic series in the vein
of “The Tracy Ullman Show” filmed exclusively in Second Life. VGP
teamed with RLS to produce short animated films featuring Ms. Wright as
writer and star, and Ms. See as director. The first of these films was
released on YouTube last October. "Coffee Schlock with AJ - Special
Guest Harold Camping" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q5g-fyMjYWE&feature=share&list=ULQ5g-fyMjYWE imagined Mr. Camping spending his last day on Earth as an avatar giving an interview to talk show host, AvaJean Westland.
