It is an original story that will unfold over many episodes through machinima.*<br/><br/>New episodes will be published as soon as they have been completed at no set interval (even if it takes all year!). For this reason, if you would like to follow the story as it is created you may like to subscribe to the podcast feed on the <a href="">main page</a>. The video will be formatted to work well with mobile devices too (iPods / Mobile Phones / etc).<br/><br/>I’m no author, but this work is largely based upon a short story I wrote somewhere around 1992 (can't be sure of the year, but around then). The story was originally titled 'Interface'.<br/><br/>Now, Some 15 years later, following a house move I recently unearthed a dusty printed copy of the story whilst clearing out my garage. <br/><br/>In the creation of this this work I have now revised the original story (just a little), and over time intend to release it as a featurette length film...<br/><br/>Initially, a speech synthesized voice was used to make an audio-file containing the narration of the story. This file was then processed to give a more characterful and dramatic voice.<br/><br/>The 3d platform / virtual world of <a href="http://secondlife.com/">Second Life</a> will be used for the filming of this work.<br/><br/>If anyone is following, while it may take some time to complete, I'd love to have you along for the journey - I'll share the work in progress here and the end product too - whatever this thing may be.<br/><br/>* “Machinima is real-world filmmaking techniques applied within an interactive virtual space where characters and events can be either controlled by humans, scripts or artificial intelligence. By combining the techniques of filmmaking, animation production and the technology of real-time 3D game engines, Machinima makes for a very cost- and time-efficient way to produce films, with a large amount of creative control”. <a href="http://www.machinima.org/">www.machinima.org</a><br/><br/> no
