(Event on Facebook Link)
The visual appeal of the movie "Avatar" has taken away the breath of just about everyone who has seen the film. The movie is an ultimate example of a graphic novel brought to life.
Join us as our panelists discuss which implications "Avatar" will have as virtual worlds continue to gain traction and what future avatars may gain from the stunning futuristic vision James Cameron has offered up... Inside The Avatar Studio.
This event will be filmed live by Stuart Warf of Rezzed TV.
(for those not able to attend the panel discussion live in Second Life, there will be a taping of the event. I will make sure to announce when the taped version is available on the net.)
Facilitated by Phelan Corrimal/Kevin Feenan - Dean of Rockcliffe University
Panelists:
Beyers Sellers/Robert Bloomfield - Metanomics Host, Cornell University
Dirk Talamasca - Virtual Real Estate Developer, Builder
Doubledown Tandino - Social media marketing, Second Life specialist, musician, and DJ
