Traversing the Southern Hemisphere
I'm currently sitting in LAX awaiting my flight to Melbourne, Australia, where I'll be at the Australian Centre of the Moving Image (ACMI) on Saturday and Sunday, May 6th and 7th - a guest of the Centre's Playing the Movies exhibit. ACMI curator Helen Stuckey has lined up a Machinima-laden weekend with Rooster Teeth presenting a screening of RvB Season 3 and myself presenting Machinima Past and Present, as well as selected works from last year's festival. On Sunday, we will both participate in a panel discussion along with Dr. Lisa Dethridge (RMIT), Helen Stuckey (ACMI) and chaired by Chris Dodds, about all things Machinima. This will be held at the end of the day and will be followed by a small soiree to close out the weekend.
As part of the event, Helen has written up a great essay about everyone's favorite subject - hopefully she will submit an expanded version to the upcoming Machinima Reader.
All in all, it should be a great event. I know RT has a pretty large fan base in Australia, so I'm sure they'll be out in numbers. However, if you're interested in Machinima and are in/around Melbourne this weekend, please stop by on either Saturday or Sunday - it should be quite the show.

Australia sounds like a fun trip! Have a good time, and thanks for taking the time to drop us an entry or two!
Just attended the Machinima 101 session at ACMI in Melbourne. Well done! I couldn't believe how much it refueled my interest in machinima.
Thanks for the trip down memory lane. Looking forward to tomorrow's sessions and seeing all the festival entries.
Cheers,
Hey Paul -- it was great meeting you -- and thanks for dinner again! -- I meant to catch up with you Sunday but was thwacked by some vile illness so had to dip out. However, as discussed I'm reviewing the showcase for Screenhub and hoped to interview you in particular. Please email me your email address so I can ask you probing and insightful questions... You can get my email from my site at http://www.a-website.org/memory
Hope you've recovered from the flight... and the zoo...
Cheers
Shiralee
oops -- ignore that -- I've just found your email address (should have looked just a little bit harder)
