Amadeus - A Machinima by SpyvSpy Productions

spyvspyaeon | August 11, 2010

First of all, thank you so much for Tim Hatcher and Dan Burkharth voice acting, so as Brad Reason for help on technical arrangements, they did a great work.

To find this passage was a joy, rebuild on Second life even more.
(script not shown on the Amadeus Movie)
"Mozart is in a circle of respected composers explaining why he should be able to perform a vulger opera."

It is said that Mozart began having problems with his reputation from this opera that satirized certain customs of the nobility. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart it is pure genius. This story it is only fiction about how Mozart really were.

The original scene happens on Schönbrunn Palace (imperial summer residence in Vienna, Austria.). As far Emperor Leopold I gave his architect Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach the order to design a new palace. Johann contemporary ideals tryed to top its role model Versailles. So as a producer (me) and since I dint found any Schönbrun Palace in-world, I thought the best approach it were the Versailles Palace.

By Peter Shaffer adapted to Second life by spyvpyaeon.

Salieri struggles with the fact that he himself is rather mediocre, despite his desire to glorify God (though he did not recognize this mediocrity before he met Mozart), while Mozart is a genius while acknowledging no God other than his own desires. In the Peter Shaffer story (inspiration for the Amadeus movie).

Mozart arrives in Vienna with his patron, Count Hieronymus von Colloredo, archbishop of Salzburg. While Mozart Salieri secretly observes, the palace of the archbishop, without being presented to it, and one person perceives as irreverent and lascivious, while recognizing the immense talent of his works. In 1781, when Mozart is presented to the emperor, the young composer Salieri presents a "March of Welcome" he had some work to finish, this same meeting, Mozart shows for the first time his traditional childhood laughter, which is heard the rest of the movie. After hearing the motion only once, Mozart spontaneously "improvise" with the piece, without much effort, and turns the "game" of Salieri in the melody of the aria "Non più andra" from his opera The Marriage of Figaro.Mozart is in a circle of respected composers explaining why he should be able to perform a vulger opera.

Some fine research into Mozart's annoying personality doesn't really make up for the fact that the entire premise of this short of the original movie (that dont show this part) that Salieri loathed Mozart and plotted his demise is probably not true.

What about Mozart's monologue to the Chamberlain, Prefect and Salieri?

Fair Use Gets a Fair Shake in Second Life - (EFF.org)

Fair Use Gets a Fair Shake in Second Life

Commentary by Eva Galperin of EFF.org
 

Kudos to Linden Lab, which has just release an update to the Terms of Service for their virtual world, Second Life, that includes language that will protect fair use of screenshots and machinima. The new Snapshot and Machinima Content License grants Linden Lab and other users of Second Life a license to use “in snapshots and machinima your Content that is displayed in-World in publicly accessible areas of the Service.”

Machinima, which refers works that use real-time 3-D graphics engines to generate computer animation, could have presented a special problem for Second Life, where every individual object in view is potentially a different person’s intellectual property. Getting permission from so many owners of IP in order to create a machinima is potentially nightmarish. Instead of running from the new kinds of fair use enabled by new technologies, Linden Lab has embraced them. The new license allows Second Life users to reserve the rights to their creations by placing them in areas that are not publicly accessible. Second Life makes tools available to users that allow them to restrict access to their Virtual Land and its contents. The rules are simple and intuitive: if you don’t want people taking pictures of your floating city/dancing bear/epic space opera, don’t leave your floating city/dancing bear/epic space opera in a public place.

Linden Lab’s behavior should be an object lesson to movie studios and major record labels, who have alienated their own fans by trying to thwart new fair uses as they come along, whether through DRM or DMCA takedowns. Linden Lab has shown that there are innovative new ways to give the green-light to fair uses while still giving users the freedom to protect their creations. We hope that movie studios and major record labels are taking notes, because Linden Lab is showing them how it’s done.

*Moon* - Music by Slim Girl Fat - Video Machinima by SpyvSpy Productions

Slim Girl Fat and SpyvSpy Productions Present *Moon*



spyvspyaeon — "Lunar deity is a god or goddess associated with or symbolizing the moon. These deities can have a variety of functions and traditions depending upon the culture, but they are often related to or an enemy of the solar deity. Some cultures relate the moon as a Female, although is known as a male more common worldwide.

The Moon through the edges has been a significant inspiration and creativity of many artists around the world. SlimGirlFat as achieved a great song and the starting inspiration to this creation.

Lunar Deity is represented on this work as the Dryad connecting the entity with the nature. I should frame this work between both of their own simplistic and the complex of its composition but I rather leave you the final judgment. don't blame me ツ. Inspired by Enigma video clips (I'm a big fan of them) I've tried an approach to a SL Machinima to their kinda videos. This video is nothing more than a thought caught in no where place no where in time, some sort of a let it flow (with some few basic knowledge).

Most of the special fx's are made on After effects and I want to mention that the glass breaking on the start it's a precomposed set already build on 3DS max and exported to AE, royalty free. The rest I just applied a bunch of coolest effects build by my own, from foam through cc cylinder (warp drive) and some 3D depth field with some motion blur. I hope you enjoy so much as I this new release. "
