Gianna Borgnine got a lot of attention earlier in the year because her company, sand castle studios, were nominated for an Emmy for their work on Deep Down Mine project. The project, which covered the plight of Appalachian coal miners in East Kentucky was a superb example of the way Second Life can be used to crossover into other mediums.
Sand Castle Studios have also benefited from the work of Qarl Linden Fizz …. Karl Stiefvater! Karl has helped them with the scripting. However Gianna is still around, still enthusiatic about virtual worlds and still getting publicity, as exemplified by this excellent interview with Delaware Online.
I do wish Linden Lab would bring back that blog idea where they blogged Second Life in the news stories …. hmm wait, then what I would blog about … hmm still, I liked it! Anyway, back to Gianna’s interview!
