This is Awesome

The project, entitled MMOvie, uses the real-time, interactive WoW environment and in-game characters supplemented with out of game models to create a series of parodies of memorable movie scenes. This film-making process, called "Machinima", has been done before on many platforms, including WoW, but MMOvie will be the first full-length theatrical machinima film.

"Shooting a film in WoW is very similar to shooting any film; you scout locations, cast actors, have PAs try to keep people off the sets", said Nate Taylor, director of the project. "What's different is having to worry that your entire crew could be attacked at any moment by monsters or players of the opposing faction...."

summer break

Sorry I haven't posted here in ages, but I've been busy doing all sorts of things over the summer.

So here is a summary of the summer 2007, so far.

Me and the boyfriend have been fixing up moms garden, making a small bonfire/barbecue place, cutting down various trees, fixing two stone fences, did some work on her veranda stairs and other misc. gardening work.

We've also been riding horsie and generally looking after her, stopping by and grooming her, cleaning her hoofs and suchlike, and my son sat on her for the very first time^^

He was very proud of himself that day :) 
 
And now, seeing as it's August, I'm currently on Cloudberry-patrol to make sure I get to pick them first, before anybody else^^ This means a trip to Hoyvik every week, once a week. And I am pleased to report that the berries are coming along just fine, thank you^^

Also, next week or thereabouts it will be the annual Varangerfestival, witch started as a jazz-festival some 25 years ago, and that means a Big celebration this year^^ About the same time we also have the Vadsø festival. This is a trading festival where local businesses in Vadso open their doors with offers on goods and services. On every streetcorner you will find something different to do or see - russians selling their beautiful glasses, icons and more or a fashion show, auctions, entertainment for the children and much, much more.
 
And to end all this fun, the very start of next month is also my 28.th birthday, so yay for me. :)
