Video: Van Gogh's 'Starry Night' Re-Created In 3-D In Second Life
The video is an example of "machinima," where filmmakers use gaming software to create animated movies. More of my favorite examples of machinima here. Some folks discussing this video on Twitter expressed disappointment that the filmmaker, Robbie Dingo, tore down the Starry Night "build" after he was done. I'm disappointed, too.
