    I'm glad to know this book is out — looking forward to reading it — and what a fun promo you've done, Lainy! Let me point out particularly what surprised and delighted me:

    * Comic book-style, kinda noir paneling.

    * Green and pink lighting @ 0:17 (intentional?).

    * Dramatizations of these events in an oblique way with creative set design, and juxtaposing the realistic-looking avatars with cartoony backgrounds.

    * Sculptie, shiny lettering at the end with Hamlet (who I'll continue to refer to as Jamlet ;) ) standing proud and his voiceover!

    I was also surprised by which musical pieces you chose to accompany this, but I really did like how they worked! "A boy..." *can* be a jazzy soundtrack for a detective stakeout!

    Are more collaborations planned in the future? :D

    Thank you! I’m relieved and pleased you liked the music choices! :) Green and pink lighting was originally green and red lighting (my fave lighting colours) but looked a tad harsh, changed to pink, thought nobody would notice, I was wrong! More collaborations? I would definitely work with Hamlet again! :)

    That's a pause button special! Full screen version is wonderful - and all that stuff Torley wrote up there - ditto!

    Great piece of work, Trace. Very creatively and imaginatively put together.

    Erm, sorry for the late reply, I only just came across this on your new website (why the "comments off" over there?)

    Cheers Russell! I thought I might be spammed to death but come to think of it, probably not, I will turn comments back on.

    I didn't know of this exellent video from Lainey Voom, that I was happy to enjoy in full screen.
    I did know of the book, who si still one of the best to understand what Second Life comes from, and is, for me.
