<div dir="ltr">Dan...<br><br>That video was really great fun to watch. Your bro did a nice job and with live action from him as well lol coool.<br><br>As for controlling the avatars, in SL bots are being used to make machinima. "Actorbots" are one type of bot made by SineWav (maker of nice dance animations). There is a short article at the link below, and a link for a commercial made with actorbots. Personally, I don't like bots being on the grid. It used to be a nice guarantee that every avatar you met was a real person. Oh well :-/<br>

this might be of interest to some on this list.<br>

My brother is a singer-songwriter, goes by the name "Mr Shy". Recently, a video of one of his songs was the "Featured Machinima" on the Sims website:<br>

What intrigues me about this video (aside from my brother being in it) is the degree of control the director seems to have over the avatars. I'm going to get some more info on how this was done,<br>
<br>
Enjoy (or not I guess, these things are subjective)<br>
