Getting into Key West Island
As we know from my previous blog post we know that the location which i have chosen is “Key West Island” in which the major part is covered with the Key West Resort & Marina. So, i had a look online about Key West Resort in Second Life and guess what i came across that the location which i have chosen is a group which is known as “THE KEYS – KEY WEST~ LIVE MUSIC VENUES & MANAGEMENT GROUP” (https://thekeyslivemusic.wordpress.com/)
When i dived more into the website i found great description of their community which i can use in my script and intro. Also, they had social links of the owner and SL location management group,
Then, i contacted Liz over Facebook and asked their permission to record a video for their location and shoot a live event snippet for my video (when i will be ending my video it will be used as a part of my video outro as mentioned in my storyboard) . She responded really well, she’s happy that i record their location and she gave me the timings for the next upcoming performances so i can attend and record.
Camera Angles
I have decided to shot on various angles including Arial, Front Facing, Lower walking shots, B-Roll, Object oriented shooting and i will include other techniques of shooting which i’m learning like showing Teleportation effect which many YouTuber use in there real life but i will see whether i get time to optimize that.
Script
The following written is the script for my machinima/video, it can change over time with few modification:
Hello, everyone I’m Dhruv. Find me on “the3rdlife” on Second Life sounds weird but yes that’s the one. Right, so we are on The Key Island as you can see where we are landed it’s a part of that island which is “The Keys Resort and Marina” .
So, Key West~ is a dual-venue location focused on the promotion and celebration of live SL music and the many talented musicians there. With a coastal atmosphere, ~The Keys SL – Key West~ is a place to relax with friends, with superb entertainment and to just have a great time! It is home to Key West Resort & Marina, the Duval Street Pub & Beach and The Keys Management Group.
Enough talking lets move on, having said of marina lets walk around marina. Woah, the marina is so beautiful. The graphics and textures looks so real. I imagine whether we can be able to drive it but well let’s see what options you can get. Wow, They have designed the deck, (other parts of boat). Incredible.
Let’s walk down to the street and find out what’s out there, Duval Pub, looks like the Hard Rock Cafe style lights which is great. Guys imagine having drinks and chatting to real people in the virtual world which wasn’t possible years ago and now people are designing it to be in virtual worlds. I wonder in future second life should integrate Gear VR or any VR headset sort of thing to get really the real walk and talk sort of feel. Because still at certain times it will feel like you are part of a game. But that’s the Duval Pub, its a combination of a pub and bar at top let’s find walk up the stairs. It looks really cool. Like a proper sitting area.
Alright, lets go further. Going out and head to the shops and garden. The Keys Island has a variety of clothing and accessories shops where you can get it various clothes, skins and avatar textures. Created by designers and professionals. Want to ride a bike, get it on and explore city with bike. Have a look, It’s looks really spectacular, especially the effects and textures which they have used. The Fountain, the singing arch. Feeling like karaoke just hangout with your friends and sing.
I want to show you another place which is one of the best Holiday home i have every seen. Let’s fly down there. So, that’s the beauty i was talking about. If i would build my house in real it would look like this literally, The creator of this house has put so much work into it i can see literally. want to teleport with your family in Second Life. This is the place where you want to be. Ultimate paradise. Bigger rooms, new modern architectural design. The thing which makes it incomparable is the backyard it has, lets walk down there. Look at that. A waterfall literally inspired from some location in Bali, imagine that having right behind of your house. Having a hard day and want to clear out all of your stress and anxiety just come over here relax in this amazing environment.
I’m feeling hungry, Oh i have seen a cafe where we landed. Let’s go there and get some food. (click sound) Well, we are here. Where we started. A modern cafe, which brews one of the finest coffees and food varieties out there.
I think Liz mentioned that we are having party in evening, we got sometime before then Let’s quickly have a look onto that pool. Wow, dream come true. a pool with sitting chair. Awesome. I recon whether they have a spa or not. Hmm, lets find out. (snap sound) Boom we are at spa. What powers i have, I literally came to Spa Pool.
Dhruv you are special, look it has TV and a mini bar right next to it. We will leave it for when we come back from party to chill-out or i’ll invite my friends for relaxing after-party.
(Sound from outside, people chattering and music sounds ) Oh, it seems like the party is about to start. Well guys, that’s it. I will go to party and enjoy my weekend with my friends. If i missed something and you spotted in the video. Feel free to join us online (https://thekeyslivemusic.wordpress.com) and for teleportation just type “The Keys Island” and you would land where i was before. Until than stay awesome. See ya.
