So I am back in Second Life, everyday I wake up go to school and log into my second life. Above you can see my avatar Naly Heron. She is my digital representation in Second Life. I notice that these days I am wondering off and getting things for her that I want for myself in my real life. For example I bought Naly Heron some blue eyes… I have always wanted blue eyes. I also bought her some tattoos - I would never get a tattoo, Naly Heron has one tho! I really enjoy mixing realities, either putting digital characters in real life or vice versa, inserting real life characters in second life. You can do this in either video or still format. Video of course is much cooler but more difficult. Stills are pretty simple…. Check out the video below for some really cool blended realties video footage.

Using green screens in both real life and second life we can start to create videos using already created moving avatars from second life. We are able to put avatars in real life and real people in Second Life. The great thing about this is that we have full control of the avatars. There are no artists that are needed to animate. We are able to quickly put together videos.

For those of you who haven’t seen My Second Life- you must check it out.
