Second Life- Vivienne sees a deer

In Pop Culture, Second Life by Heidi Nyburg on Tuesday, June 12, 2007

One of the coolest things about Second Life is the feeling that you are walking through a person’s imagination. It’s like being inside a painting. A sense of serendipitous discover abounds and you truly never know what you will find. We found a deer. We were just stomping around, literally as our level of grace in Second Life is markedly decreased, when there he was, just standing there in the distance. The deer was relatively docile and didn’t’ run from us but did tilt his head and seem to “see” us. Later we sat atop a waterfall to look out over the imaginary Ocean. I love the colors in this scene and the way the mist hovers over the water. Incidentally, we totally tripped over a log while we were there.

Here’s the trailer for Duck. It’s totally on our list of must see films. The trailer might make you cry. We cried. Yeah, we’re sappy like that. Loving the David Byrne in the background.
