Learnt some good tips from a friend on how to get smoother shots and also found a way to make camera pans a lot sleeker. A couple of test videos around the sim I plan to use for my story.
I'm going to be investing in a joystick for PCs as apparently this is the best way to get nice smooth camera shots from all angles.

More Inworld footage
Some edited footage taken last night at popular industry music club. Making it so a number of avatars do the same animation in Second Life is achieved in many ways. One way being the chimera. An invisible prim (building object in Second Life) that is scripted to make all avatars who allow it permission to be animated in sync. Chimeras are normally used for group dances such as this one demonstrated. The chimera is located on my head but is invisible so can't been seen. This also gave me chance to work on camera movements and editing.

Previous Machinima tests.
Here are just a few tests of recording footage in Second Life using the software Fraps. Next week I'll be creating footage in Flash and using it together with footage in Second Life.
All these tests were taken just for fun before knowing I would actually be using machinima in my final work. So please excuse the silliness. :) Also they were not taken a very high resoluction or FPS so will hopefully record in better quality for my final works.
NSFW warning - Contains profanity and thrusting.
