IBM avatar commercial for IBM.com/do
February 19, 2008 1:28 amWhy does this feel like this is a huge wink to Second life?
‘What do you call that again?’
‘An avatar. A digital simulation of me in in a virtual world.’
‘What does it do?’
‘Business. It’s innovation. It’s all the rage. I have my own island.’
‘Making any money on your island?’
‘Euh… virtual money or euh.. actual money?’
‘The point of innovation is to make actual money.’
‘My avatar does not know how to do that.’
(read on after the video below!)
It seems the discussion is going on on the Eightbar blogsite already. How could I have missed! *slaps her head and goes to read Eighbar*
An interesting point there is made by Dusan Writer:
I wish I knew how to put together a machinima, but in the absence of that I’ve written a machinima script in reply ending with the tag: STOP CAMPING, START DOING. Come on folks! We’re supposed to be a creative community - surely the best reply is a machinima of our own???
I love this script. Second Life is not about just sitting. It’s about new paths, thinking outside the RL box, awesome ideas, …. So, who will be filming this? Now, c’mone! Pretty please? I’d even volunteer to be one of the noobs!

Vint - so we have you as a noob. :)
We’ll chip in on post-production - can do a nice super or two, and edit if needed, I just don’t trust my filming abilities seeing as I’ve never done it before.
Lights….cameras….
Susan, deal. We’ll find somebody that can do the filming, can’t be that hard. I added you as a friend, we’ll take about this a bit more?
Care to comment?
