Divas

Okay, many of you have been asking about DiVAS, whats going on with it, where are the new episodes ect, and I appreciate all the notes, IM’s and emails! Now we’re going to clear the air.

DiVAS will conclude it’s run this summer in a 45 minute Series Finale. We’ve talked about this for some time, discussing possibilities and the implications, but the time is right for us to move on from it and onto other projects. Many of you had suspected the show was done since I (Phaylen) have been working on so many other projects outside the DiVAS universe over the last 6 months, and news has become sporadic and altogether infrequent.

The finale episode will pick up from the very moment the season finale left off. Filming of this episode was completed in the beginning of December of last year, and it took a good long while to decide whether we wanted to continue onward. However, we all wanted to give it a fitting farewell and we (Kit, Evie, Stampshady and myself) worked diligently to ensure that it ended on the perfect note!

BUT!

There’s more to tell you - I can’t just yet until things are set in stone, so bear with me! Will report more soon with approximate dates and our in-world viewing parties!

Phaylen Fairchild Productions

Phaylen Fairchild, DiVAS creator has announced the inception of an independent production facility within Second Life® that is dedicated to the development and execution of high quality series and films. DiVAS will continue to be produced under the new banner, as well as another forthcoming episodic and feature films to be released in the fall of this year. The new reality show “I Wanna Be A Celebrity” filming now, airing this spring, is being produced under the Phaylen Fairchild Productions shingle and distributed by Metaverse TV. Her production work will also be seen in an upcoming Lit Fuse Films short and the film Zero Hour by Robustus Hax (see trailer below), both created in Second Life.

The idea is to utilize the power of the virtual medium to create mainstream content that will entertain and invest audiences in much the same way television and film does.

Currently, many talented machinimists commit themselves to making creative short films, music videos or sketches. Few do episodics, although there are the rare exceptions (Rooster Teeths Red Vs. Blue shot in the HALO platform, for example)  where artists have created long term series with static characters and progressive storylines.

Along with films and series, the facility will also encompass commercial production, such as the one recently produced for Virtual Designer Moxie Polano.

       

If you’re not doing anything this Saturday, come on over to the International Machinima festival in Second Life which is simulcast LIVE to PLANETART in Amsterdam, Netherlands! Phaylen has been asked to present films produced inside Second Life (SL), World of Warcraft (WoW), Half Life, Crysis, Halo, Grand Theft Auto (GTA), Moviestorm, The Sims, OpenGrid, Playstation Home and more by some of Machinima’s most formidable talents from 6-7pm SLT (PST) on Saturday February 28th. Make sure you come on by and say hello!

You’ve all been so patient this long whats another couple of weeks, right? We promise you, it will be WELL worth the wait and you are in for some serious shocks and surprises. In the meantime catch up on Last years season finale to refresh your memory!

It’s amazing, but after all this time people are still discovering DiVAS online. New viewers are stumbling upon it at various places across the web regularly and we’re delighted many of them have written to share their thoughts, complaint and other interesting tidbits.. “This is for the Redhead, YOU’RE HOT! -John” Kit sends you her thanks John.

Hey Divas, The artists over at Fleur are running a phenomenal contest this week!

Their hugely successful new line of skins, ALLURE, will be worn exclusively by the three lead characters throughout season 2 of - Why? These skins are some of the most beautiful we have *ever* seen… and normally we don’t say shit like that unless we’re getting paid too! Or at least provided ample alcohol! It’s true! These two artists, CJ Carnot and Roslin Petion have hand crafted the most diverse, elegant, high quality skins on the grid. We were honored to feature them most recently in the Halloween Special and appear in a print supporting these incredible content creators.

And now they’d love to see you in ALLURE! All you have to do is photograph yourself looking delightfully DiVA-ish and upload it to their flickr group, Jolie Fleur. You can win win some goodies and possibly have your photo featured in the Fleur Main store.

See their official blog for further details

In world, here is their SLURL
