We were really working not to tip you off that you had won the Grand Prize. And very much enjoyed talkign with you about Clockwork. And thanks for making the effort to come into Second Life. It's really a great place for meetings, but you are right, of course, a real life event would be more effective. Unfortunately, the American Academy of Machinima Arts and Sciences (AMAS) chose not to have their annual Machinima festival in New York this year. The Expo is not meant to replace that event, but to provide a virtual opportunity for people who can't afford to fly to New York from where they live in the world. <br /><br />The judges, by the way, were announced several months ago on the Expo blog and are composed of a variety of industry related people and Machinima creators. I've also outlined the method we used to judge the films that were submitted. Armand Constantine, game writer (Far Cry), Tari Akpodiete (media writer/machinma filmmaker), Friedrich Kirschner (machinima filmmaker, programmer), Joey O'bryan (professional screenwriter) and Michelle Petit-Lee (game developer Bioware) were the judges this year. Kudos to them for their efforts. <br /><br />And thanks again for your positive comments. We were delighted you could come. Next years Expo is already in the planning stages.Ricky Lee Grovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03588565441793716202noreply@blogger.com
