I think it was a pretty good and informative video on that level I'm now interviewing people in Second Life for my blog about their Learning Journeys - I can even provide that on 3GP or flash for you Brian - perhaps you'd like to come along and be videoed in world - I am experimenting with Machinima as well.

Thanks for the comments Brian, but I think you've read too much into the purpose of the video. It was simply a screencast of the tour that Chris did for Naace members earlier in the year. It had no purpose other than presenting what happened during that event. I agree, Chris's balloon tour is great, why not put it up yourself?

Gareth, I have a couple of thoughts about this video. Firstly it could do with being a lower bitrate in order to stream smoothly. On my computer it spends a lot of time pausing while it streams. Secondly, and more importantly, I feel that it doesn't show the potential of Second Life well enough to new users. A newcomer, watching the first couple of minutes of the film will conclude that just getting a chair and sitting down is a major event in SL. Might I suggest that Chris's balloon tour of the International Island might not be a much better video to have as an introduction and 'tastebud-whetter'?
