A zombie (Alien StarFish) stole my heart
Ed Wood made films so bad, they were good. Alt-zoom studios had it's 2nd annual Ed Wood machinima festival on October 31, 2006. On Halloween Weekend , Second Life residents had 48 hours to make a movie in the spirit of Ed Wood. The theme/title was A Zombie stole my heart.

We started planning on the movie the Friday night before the announcement of the theme. After the announcement we started to furiously film that night and most off Saturday. On Sunday I edited all the shots together and added sounds, music and voices. The movie won the The Most Disturbing movie award.

Sudo National Parks Service Visitors Centor
Pixel Dolls, Meat-Space, and Everything All at Once is an Art exhibition that was created for the Seattle Bumbershoot Art Festival.

For the exhibition I created together with Rhainnon Chatnoir and Amulius Lioncourt a Ficitional National park named Sudo by design of Real Life artist Susan Robb.

Specifically I scripted a automated Trail HUD, that walks your avatar automatically over a mountain trail while a audio explanation is giving about the Sudo National park.

Opportunities
For Burning Life 2005, I built a sculpture of a hand grabbing the word opportunity. This symbolised what I did, the plot of land wasn't assigned to me, but was left unclaimed. Several of these empty plots inspired me to make a statement about grasping the opportunities that we are given. There was a notecard giver that prompted others to follow in this vein and join in by also building upon this reclaimed space.
SLebrity Auction stage
Part of the Fundraising for Kartrina Relief was a Second Life Celebrity Auction. I created a hightech stage for the event to be held on.

Flower Photo Gallery for Global Kids Island
Working collaboratively with Rhiannon Chatnoir, a flower themed build was created as a photo gallery for display on the Global Kids Island within the SL Teen Grid. The photographs, many symbolizing hope, were taken by teens that were part of a Global Kids workshop. Every flower pot had a picture of a teen and each flower blossom held a photo image that told stories about their lives.
