File this one under dream jobs for Machinimists, folks! Global Kids is looking for an Online Leadership Program Associate specializing in video.

While the Machinima teaching I do is in-world, they are actually looking for someone to help with their real life intern program in New York at the Museum of the Moving Image. Named the Virtual Video Project, they meet twice a week. The program works with teams throughout the year to make films to call awareness to issues such as body image and child soldiers.

The specialist would bring their expertise in techniques for storyboarding, editing, and filming. If you're interested in the position, they even put their application materials online. The only question I have is where are these jobs in Texas? I'm so jealous!

Machinima Guru is now on the Teen Grid!

I'm so excited to share with everyone that my alt, Machinima Guru, is now on the Teen Grid! I met Barry Joseph, of Global Kids, at the Machinima Festival in New York in November of 2006. While there, I expressed that I'd like to work with the teens to educate them about Machinima. The approval process started back in January and I was cleared for entrance around mid-February. After a period of preparation where I gathered as many supplies as I could from the Main Grid, I requested entrance in mid-March. After some delays, I discovered that I could finally log in!

I arrived during a live stream of a Youth Conference, so there were a number of teens on Global Kids island. It was almost a surreal experience as I could not build, didn't know where anything was, and was afraid to do anything for fear of offending others. After the initial shock wore off, I had the chance to speak with some of the teens and let them sound off about the issues with their grid. I'll be blogging about my experiences here, as well as giving the teens a voice on Second Life Insider. If there's anything that you're dying to know, leave a comment!
