User narrative 2

My name is Jane. I am a friend of Tom. I am going to the same university he is attending. My major is 3D animation. Tom and I are trying to make a machinima using an online game, Secondlife. But we have had some technical problems using Secondlife. What is good for using Secondlife is that there are many different places in the game world ranging from a realistic world to fantasy one. However, it is difficult to shoot a film due to the network latency in certain cases where many users are connected. There are also some limitations for those users who don??t own land online when they want to make props and building environment.

Recently, I have received an email from Tom. He gave me the address for a website that had a tutorial on movie-making using an online game engine. When I visited the website, there was a movie about North Korean suffering. I also found a tutorial in the form of diary about movie making using realXtend. I am still visiting that website to refer to the tutorial when I need help.I also visited another website linked in the website, called LiNK. The website made me aware of the sufferings of the North Korean refugees. I was deeply impressed by the story of the volunteers traveling North America showing movies about the North Korean refugees. This made me to collaborate with Inbum to work on a project making his second movie on North Korean refugees.
