The Project Factory has built the 3D Second Life version of the ABC's surreal dance film to be broadcast on TV 29th July.
The virtual world extends the experience of the television show and creates a unique cross-format experience for TV viewers and Second Life members alike.
Thursday’s Fictions is the story of a woman who tries to cheat the cycle of reincarnation to get eternal life. Adapted from the book, Thursday’s Fictions, by Dr Richard James Allen (short-listed for the Kenneth Slessor Prize for Poetry at the 2000 NSW Premier’s Literary Awards), the film deals with themes of reincarnation and the nature of our universe.
In collaboration with the films producers, Physical TV, the Project Factory have created a Second Life experience that expands on the concepts of the television show by allowing visitors to experience a fully immersive interactive version of the linear TV experience. The 3D virtual version has been produced, designed and built by Gary Hayes of The Project Factory and LAMP who was also responsible for the Telstra BigPond and ABC islands in Second Life.
The Second Life experience creates and expands on the concepts of the television show by allowing visitors to experience a fully immersive interactive version of the linear TV experience.
The Thursday's Fictions show is on ABC TV Sunday 29th July at 3pm.
Links to the Second Life version will be available on The Project Factory's website from Sunday morning at http://www.theprojectfactory.com
