– Mythologies at Alpha Auer’s Alphatribe Island
– Oishii City officially opening tonight

Welcome to ATG Entertainment Weekly.
Second Life entertainment never stops on this 9th week of 2023.

Alpha Auer’s Alphatribe Island features an installation called Mythologies that is worth exploring. The installation is a curation of cultural artifacts found on Sketchfab, a 3D resource that hosts many museums and private individuals’ 3D models with an emphasis on heritage material available for download under Creative Commons licenses. Instead of modeling her own work, Alpha used this resource to put together an architecture and a number of small landscapes where deities and characters from different mythologies across history can be present virtually. The islands are placed across a glass-like platform and represent different cultures and their heritage, ranging from renaissance Europe through North America to the Middle East, Asia, and Far East. While Alpha notes that this is not a serious museum, the way the pieces are set out encourages their study and consideration of the times and culture which gave rise to them and what they represent. The installation also offers access to Alpha’s own store and a smaller store containing many of the pieces featured on the main platform, complete with their Creative Commons License. Alpha is an academic and graphic designer/artist from Istanbul who has presented papers and works at conferences and art spaces in both the virtual and physical worlds.

In SL Video Creators’ latest director showcase, Candido Ferraris is featured. Candido has been a part of the YouTube director community since January 2008 and has been creating videos that have received positive feedback. Although he has a professional background in filming, he primarily sees himself as a director who participates in contests, such as the “Brazilian Trap” and “TC GROUP BIKER” videos, where he received first place in 2020.
Candido’s biggest success has been his contribution to Second Life with new videographers and photographers. He started a series of video-tips for new video enthusiasts in 2016, which now has 16 episodes. His most successful video has been “Paris City Contest; One Man Band,” which utilized an overlay technique in post-production.
Candido believes that having great equipment is essential for creating high-quality videos. His goal is to improve his equipment and create new productions that will appeal to filmmakers. He is inspired by new Second Life videos and his friends who are always daring with effects.
When asked for advice for aspiring Second Life directors, Candido suggests watching videos from idols and paying attention to details such as cuts, transitions, lighting, and camera angles.
Candido’s next project is based around Cyberpunk and will feature audio-visual effects. The filming is complete, and he is currently in the post-production editing phase.
