My filmmaking class had an interesting experience with second life this week. We had a scheduled virtual class session in second life. Needless to say when working in unfamiliar territory you can never prepare for the obstacles we were faced with - some things can only be learned by doing. Some of the issues we encountered were computers crashing, slow moving avatars, classmates (myself included) became a little frustrated with the idea of having to possibly create a movie in second life -- this interfered with our ability to focus. The next day Ken came to the rescue and realized the countless number of hours needed to achieve that goal were probably impossible to have a successful project. Ken re-grouped and re-assigned another assignment. A word of advice---If anyone wishes to sample using second life -- be aware that you must commit several hours in becoming familiar with the tools before you can enjoy them and use them successfully. Have fun!
