Canary Beck kindly provided previews for some people, including bloggers, so I will report that I&#8217;ve seen the movie and it&#8217;s quite an epic performance, exemplifying well what can be done with Second Life machinima and how performance art in Second Life is a viable use case.<\/p>\n<p>This blog post will not contain a full review of the movie, I haven&#8217;t had enough time to take enough notes for that and therefore I would not be doing the production justice if I blogged a lazy review. However I will state that this is an adult production, which contains avatar nudity, both female and male. I will also note that the male nudity appears to pass the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wiktionary.org\/wiki\/Mull_of_Kintyre_rule\" target=\"_blank\">mull of kintyre test<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Paradise Lost by Ciaran Laval on Flickr!\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ciaran_laval\/20899624853\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/farm6.staticflickr.com\/5699\/20899624853_549c85d8a2.jpg?resize=500%2C294&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Paradise Lost\" width=\"500\" height=\"294\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Canary Beck has also provided some excellent information for bloggers to share, which makes writing a post a lot easier! Here are some key facts about the production :<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Paradise Lost contains 14 Scenes (the 14 Movements of Mozart\u2019s Requiem)<\/li>\n<li>Paradise Lost has 43 Roles performed by 8 players<\/li>\n<li>Paradise Lost runs for 59 minutes<\/li>\n<li>Paradise Lost is Canary Beck\u2019s 3rd production, and first feature length movie<\/li>\n<li>Paradise Lost (the play) took 3 months to produce and required \u00b11000 hours in development, the movie took another 3 months to produce<\/li>\n<li>In total Paradise Lost cost half a million linden dollars to produce<\/li>\n<li>Paradise Lost (the play) premiered on April 5th, 2014<\/li>\n<li>Paradise Lost (the play) sold out every performance presented<\/li>\n<li>Paradise Lost (the play) received over 100 positive reviews<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There are some eye watering figures there to take note of, including the time and cost of a production, but it&#8217;s good to have figures such as this released from someone such as Canary who has actually taking an idea from an idea and turned it into a full production.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Performance Venue by Ciaran Laval on Flickr!\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ciaran_laval\/21333832739\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/farm1.staticflickr.com\/605\/21333832739_c5536988ca.jpg?resize=500%2C294&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Performance Venue\" width=\"500\" height=\"294\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Canary Beck has donned many caps for this production including director, narrator, actress, costume designer and more but this was not a one woman show. Canary has been supported well by Producer and main co-star Harvey Crabsticks.<\/p>\n<p>Then there&#8217;s the work of Forren Ashford in areas such as sound and post production. Sion Pearl created the audience avatars.<\/p>\n<p>Other performers include Syn Wytchwood, Sonia Yeu and Art Blue. Full credits will be available on the website, there are many people who receive credits.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Ocean View by Ciaran Laval on Flickr!\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ciaran_laval\/21332906178\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/farm6.staticflickr.com\/5623\/21332906178_cd42d2e0bb.jpg?resize=500%2C294&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Ocean View\" width=\"500\" height=\"294\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Now just why has Canary Beck decided to take an inworld production to a movie production? The answer is reach :<\/p>\n<p>We filmed the movie so that we can reach a larger audience in Second Life than we were able to reach with the live production limited by time and place.<\/p>\n<p>Obviously in Second Life access is limited to how many people can get to a region at a certain time, a movie production allows people to view a performance when it&#8217;s suitable to them. This doesn&#8217;t mean live productions aren&#8217;t a good idea, it just means that people have more ways to view this production.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Basilique Town by Ciaran Laval on Flickr!\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ciaran_laval\/20899618733\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/farm6.staticflickr.com\/5745\/20899618733_4eca69ef77.jpg?resize=500%2C294&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Basilique Town\" width=\"500\" height=\"294\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>So the important question is how can you see this production? Canary Beck has <a href=\"http:\/\/www.canarybeck.com\/2015\/09\/14\/4-ways-to-watch-paradise-lost-the-movie\/\" target=\"_blank\">posted a helpful blog post<\/a> about this, some of the ways are :<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Register for free on Canary&#8217;s website by Saturday 19th September 2015 12:00 Noon SLT.<\/li>\n<li>You can see the movie for free at the Second Life Premiere on Friday 18th, 2015 at 4pm SLT.<\/li>\n<li>You can buy a ticket to see the movie on the website after Saturday 19th, 2015 at 12:00 noon. Tickets cost L$1,000 and are available inworld or on The Marketplace.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>If you&#8217;re a blogger there&#8217;s another option, which is mentioned on Canary&#8217;s post, but time is running out for that so act quickly.<\/p>\n<p>The inworld premiere is only a couple of hours ago and please note that an inworld premiere will obviously have restricted space.<\/p>\n<p>SLURL To Basilique : <a href=\"http:\/\/maps.secondlife.com\/secondlife\/Our%20Island\/112\/123\/24\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/maps.secondlife.com\/secondlife\/Our%20Island\/112\/123\/24<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The movie version of Canary Beck&#8217;s Paradise Lost premieres in Second Life and the world wide web this weekend.
