Oh my oh my oh my!!
I can tell you, I haven’t been this excited to share a movie since Natascha Randt and I collaborated on the UWA V Challenge, “Seek Wisdom”
I feel like we were swept up in an on-rushing tide, a flash flood of ideas, and input that brought this film in, with the credits rolling in almost Olympic -Record -Time. One of the reasons Nat and I work so well together, I think, is that we are both pretty obsessed once we begin something. Sleep is pushed to one side, and the goal line looms ahead. It has a big YouTube banner (smiles) and we hopefully break that ribbon in perfect style as we make it public, with no other gain than to know we have finished it and to share with whomever in the world might be interested.
As I said in my previous post, I adore scripters. If it weren’t for them, here in Second Life, we would all be standing still in photographs (I sort of imagine it that way) no movement, no flexi, no sync dancing, no anything…no world. Linden Scripting Language is the common tongue, and it allows us to create and bring life to inanimate prims. It was time, I recognized the value of all the stuff that is whirling around behind the scenes. It seems in doing this, I got out of my funk about “Second Life losing its magic, see post: “SLip Away” and by looking deep into its backbone and its nervous system, meditating on all the collaboration that it took and takes to keep it going, I had one of those stingy-tears- in- my- eyes moments, when I felt thankful, so very thankful for all that work behind the scenes that we just take for granted.
Thank you my friends who script, and all those I have not met, nor probably will ever meet. I forgive you all for not being available to chat, because you are in the middle of some scripting process equivalent to “open-heart surgery” (Quote from scripter Jer Straaf)
I invite all the rest of us to celebrate our virtual worlds, by looking down inside and remembering the scripter’s role in it all. They are “the gods in a sandbox” They make almost any possibility possible (like Dale Innis’s hands- free- walking script, his “AvatarFollower” script which started me thinking about this in the first place.) I want to thank my sim partner, Odracir Wrigglesworth, co-owner of LINC Island where much of the film was shot, for being an elegant and graceful dance partner, and WaMark Basevi for his phrase “an Ode to Code”
But..my last and deepest thank-yous go to my gifted friend, film maker and collaborator,
Natascha Randt. With her innovative film style and her unique film concepts, techniques, and camera eye, I think she once again has taken my poem and music and made it lift off from my hand and soar into a beautifully finished piece of art , honoring those who make us move.
“Make it move…. because you can”
I present to you proudly and with much emotion, “Follow Me!” Please see in fullscreen and HD for best viewing….
Comments very welcome:)

Wow. Just…wow. Gorgeous! Amazing gorgeous creative work. Natascha and Karima make more magic. Oh where will it all end???? Hopefully, not soon. Beautiful as art alone. Music alone. Graphics work alone. And yes, scripting alone (!) Such is the genius of collaboration between such talented boundary pushers. Interestingly enough, it parallels actual creation pretty closely. All the beauty…all the intricacy… the incredible imaginative painting by minds focussed on an idea. The turning an imaginative thought, an idea, into a visual, audible, palpable reality that can be shared together by many. Truly it parallels and describes the beauty of actual life creation. Part of our progressions thru lives and knowledge gained is to learn how actually create. For real. An eventual goal for those who wish it.
What you have seen is a hint at the real thing. How minds can create brilliance from a thought. That’s how we got here. The created will eventually become the creators. With lots of practice along the way. They foretold the future here in so many so profound of ways, some there but unseen. All in good time. Such a wonderful collection of work including talents of so many like a symphony. And as usual-Karima with the baton……well done!

Thank you Tube and welcome back…your comments have been missed. I think you left me wordless with this one.. all I can say is thank you for your loyal and totally unconditional support of me, my poetry, and any other crazy thing I got into, my humble machinimas, and my obsessive building of world after world. Thank you also for seeing the whole well-timed history of meeting Nat and beginning to make our first collaboration, which I think was actually her filming of my poem, “Her Name Was Noor” at a live performance, You have been a witness and have left me the most treasured comments for a long long time now..You followed my Colored Dreams and took it to the end, you watched The Two which in 13 installments was almost a full length movie, and you have never failed to spur me on and you have always left me comments like this one, that come from your special gift of observation and and your generosity of spirit towards me. I too hope that Nat and I make many more together as we both now say (our new phrase of the week) “Why not?” What do we lose to, as you say, get a thought and change it into a reality? It’s pure gain, and perhaps as you offer in this comment, we are practicing for another level when on some plane we actually do create, at will, maybe after we have left these tired bodies behind. Right now it feels rewarding and exciting, and I look upon the future with lots of ideas begging to become a reality. I guess I wasn’t as wordless as I thought* smiles, but there is much more I could have said, but in the end, it can all be distilled down into “Thank you”

Well…Runaway train? More like a runaway rocket ship. Karima and Natascha have succeeded in breaking the sound barrier with this one (pardon the weak metaphors). You both have taken the solid science of scripting and sprinkled it with art. Not always an easy task. The two of you continue to reach one apex, only to leave it behind and continue your climb. Your partnership continues to cultivate fantastic, imaginative works! I see no end to this concert that the two of you continue to propagate. I am proud, touched and amazed at your exploits.

Karima’s crafting of words, warm-machine recitation and computeresque composition provide the pulse – the atmosphere that gels it all. You definitely get it. And, you get each other – a super collaboration. Thanks for sharing this! *** and as a scripter, thanks for noticing!! *** 🙂

Holy Moly! What can I say? First of all a BIG THANK YOU! Not only for watching our little movie, but also and most for eeehm…capture it I mean… I think you know what I mean. And for the very very nice comments:)
At this point my comment could end. “Why not” 🙂
But I know that someone will pinch me if I end up at this point 🙂
I am sitting here, thinking about carrots and donkeys, eeehm…sorry… 🙂
So let me tell you that coding, programming and scripting, for me it is like the book with the seven seals. But I made the math trilogy and a how-to of it, cause I was a bit proud to understand how this one-lined rotating script works. Eeehm…I mean on how I can change the speed and the direction:) And I know that binary is the very basic computer language, or something like this. And thats It.
At that day I was in the mood to play with the Meteor, one of the first jet planes and a very special Windlight called “Torley special:Heaven” and shadows (“you and your shadows”, lol) doing it, Karima logged in and told me about her new poem. I read it and listened to it and being honest, my first reaction was “sounds a bit strange” and the “dingdangdong dingeling” Spieluhr sound was a bit loud for me.
Anyway:)
Ten seconds, or so, later, we were in that brainstorming “fever”. Sharing zillions of ideas. And Karima is so right, it was like when we began with seek wisdom. But this time it was special and I want to do it that weekend cause I dont want to loose the “fever”. As I wrote I was running in circles and I knew what I want and we start to shoot, meanwhile I was reading a lot and ok here’s a little secret I dont told anyone, not even Karima 🙂
After reading WaMark’s term “An ode to code” I knew it! Cause the only Ode I know is from my eeehm fellow countrymen? (maybe thats the right term) Ode to joy from Schiller and best known in Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony. They both were real geniuses and I am far away to imitate that or being pathetic like that, but following the text of Schillers poem, it describes what second life is or maybe could be: equal people connected by the bond of joy and friendship.
So I want it a bit as a joyful “symphony in the land of vectors” with some innuendoes, like the moving head:) Maybe it works in that way.
With many many footage (Thanks to Karima and Odracir for being so patient while shooting) I opened the editior software and throw overboard many of our ideas, cause we talked about the credits roll, I want it as a part of the movie and technically some of the scenes doesnt work and I needed the music without the vocals and many other things…
But thats what I like most, the editing process. You have all that, eeehm…sometimes more or less, beautiful footage and you know you have to trash 95% of it. Lots of lots of fx and you always ask yourself will this fit or better that? Does it need an fx polish? First steps are so easy, just put the music to an audio track, make room for an intro and an outro…and then select the scenes. Thats for me the hardest work. Sometimes you have a nice shot but it is to short or doesnt fits the music, or something like that and you must say goodbye to it. Its a bit like composing or cooking.
Seems, that today my comment is full of me myself and I and before it will be too much, I am stopping here, not to bore you with confused thoughts 🙂
I am so glad you all like it 🙂 THANKS A LOT!
Hugs

Wowee sis, I LOVE this film, I knew you could make scripting sexy and you and Nat did just that (apologies to all scripters, I was not suggesting you weren’t already, but I’m claiming a little bit of poetic license for my comment). Maybe it was just me, but I heard the smile in your voice the whole way through this celebration of the scripters’ art and it was so infectious I found myself smiling along with you.

Your comment made me laugh out loud sis.,,and of course we agree scripters Are very sexy..they just hide it away maybe a little and code it…but I give you all the poetic license you need to say what you will:) Yes it is an Ode to Code like Nat says in joy and awe and admiration..and that brings us right back to the top of the food chain here, our visible pretty colored world we so nicely function in because of all those scripts.. When I first opened a new script (of course by accident as I had no idea what to write in it) and it said to me in a “sexy voice” I mean it was only written, but it had an exclamation point on the end, which made it sound very playful to me,(lost in this sentence) and it said “Hello Avatar!” I felt a sensual beckoning, like a challenge..I just loved it said “Hello Avatar!” and that was the beginning with my fascination for all those who knew what to write after that part. So glad you enjoyed our poetic homage to this hard working sector of our Second Life. Bows graciously to your endless applause !! Hugs sis:)

Wanting art to represent connection between real longing and imaginative construction is an undeniable urge of many. Perhaps what created language was to represent comparison between the evidence of eyes and visualizing of the unseen extrapolations of our brains. The searching mind fills in spaces in the suspension of disbelief. Me? I believe it all. Thank you Karima for sending me soaring.
