Happy Holidays to everyone! I have been enjoying being inworld and exploring the winter sims and the music venues all decked out for winter holidays! Getting married this winter? Have a video made - it will be wonderful to relive the memory when hot weather returns :-)

Weddings are such happy occasions! Rainey and Cole recently "tied the knot" (I read that is connected to a tradition of ribbons on a person's hat being tied when they marry) in Second Life and have the memory saved in video. Thank you for letting me capture this for you both! http://youtu.be/zeBP0d3VQHg

What fun to be a part of the Drax Files Radio Hour! (it actually went on for 2 hours this time!). This took place at the SL11 Birthday celebration on opening day, 22 June 2014. Listen at your leisure:

Ever wonder what happens these days when a new resident is born in SL? I tried it the other day - and decided to film it: http://youtu.be/zZNbXJ-KDA0 [my video, about 10 minutes]

UPDATE: 20 May 2014
I was not able to appear on this program, as I was out of town (vacation!) but it is online now, so have a look - Designing Worlds takes a look at the new user experience. I am so pleased to have stirred up this topic! I do hope there will be improvements for new residents.  A friend of mine made an account just this past weekend and I left her alone a while, to get her impression. She walked into the water and looked at the sunken ship but was lost after that. (We were on Skype together, so before long I brought her out of there to shop a little bit and learn how to open boxes, then to some live music venues.) I am going to write to the LL employees who spoke on this program and I encourage you all to send your best (constructive) ideas to them as well.

Let me capture your party, your wedding, your music performance and save that memory for you and to share!

.•*˜ .•*♫*•. ˜*•. .¸.•*(¸.•*´♥`*•.¸)`*•.¸.*✰*   .•*♫*•. ˜*•.
Such a special occasion! Are you getting married in Second Life or other grid? Having a special party - maybe celebrating a Rez Day or other remarkable day - or having a music performance you want to remember? I can preserve the event for you - plan a video for yourself or as a surprise for a friend!

This is something I enjoy doing - I have a good computer and graphics card, a super-fast internet connection, and several programs to use to create the best video I can manage. I am inworld mainly early mornings and early evenings SLT during the week - more often on the weekends. I live in east coast USA time zone. I have accounts in Second Life, InWorldz, AviNation, 3rd Rock Grid, Metro, Island Oasis, and Virtual Highway (did I forget any? lol).

I do not charge by the minute; I want to tell the story of your event, getting all the details that I can, and the parts that are important to you. For this reason, a conversation about the event is important. I am available inworld by IM, by email to skyspinner.soulstar@gmail.com, and also on Skype (contact me for Skype name).

The $fee is dependent upon the style of event and general length, with half payable upon booking and the final half payable upon completion.
