TimeForce 10 - "We're getting ready for Season 4"

This is a test video, rendered using Corel VideoStudio Pro X4 Ultimate.



I've previously used Windows Movie Maker and Sony Vegas. To use a Goldilocks Analogy, Windows Movie Maker was too simple (and crashed often). Sony Vegas was too complex. Corel's VideoStudio Pro seems to be just right!

So here's the plan! More adventures and more videos!

With the start of TF10 - Season 4, we're planning comics and also comic-style videos.

I'm in SecondLife to have fun, but I'm also a believer in the use of Second Life and Video to tell a story. In my case, my intention is to present our favorite genre elements from the 1960s and 70s into a serial style format, much like the serial films of the silent era through the 1950s.

Many thanks to my father, brother, and sisters who all shared  adventure stories and movies with me. And many thanks to my good friend in Second Life, Mr Cornelius Fanshaw who co-created TimeForce 10 and shares this little passion for spy-fi fun with me.

We would love to have you join us and add your own adventures to this little part of the SL roleplay universe.

TimeForce 10 - "The Demise of Doctor Dreamscape"


TimeForce 10 - "The Demise of Doctor Dreamscape" from ZoeConnolly on Vimeo.

TimeForce 10 agent Samantha Calamity catches Doctor Zoetrope Dreamscape attempting to sabotage the TF10 Time Tunnel. Calamity chases her to the rooftop helicopter pads, and forces her to the edge where the Doctor hangs precariously.

Dreamscape tries to make a last minute deal to win Calamity to her side.

Is this really the end of Doctor Dreamscape?



Readers may visit the Time Tunnel by teleporting (or timeporting) to the following SLurl http://slurl.com/secondlife/Caledon%20Mayfair/40/243/24. You'll land at my Steampunk home in Caledon Mayfair. Then take the elevator to the Time Tunnel level.

TimeForce 10 - "The Return of Ava Zenovka"



Slain TimeForce 10 agent Ava Zenovka returns to the TF10 Time Tunnel in an altered state. The vengeful spirit of Ava looks for her nemesis in the last place where Doctor Dreamscape left her lifeless body. Ava's ghost plans the capture and enslavement of the super-villainous sociopath Doctor Zoetrope Dreamscape.

Will Doctor Dreamscape escape Zoe Connolly and Samantha Calamity from TimeForce 10?

And if she does, will she face a far worse punishment from Ava's Ghost?

1884: Yesterday’s Future

from the YouTube channel http://www.youtube.com/user/adamhowe2409:
A film by Peculiar Pictures
Description taken from their website:
A story of outstanding heroism in the face of deception, subterfuge and treachery. Conjuring up the belief that it was made forty years before film was even invented, 1884: Yesterday’s Future tells of a future that might have been but never was. Directed by Tim Ollive, the film is a mix of animation, puppetry and two dimensional and three dimensional computer generated imagery (CGI) set against backgrounds created using stunning artwork, model sets and period photographs from the Hulton Picture Library division of Getty Images. Combine these idiosyncratic production techniques with a script of mind boggling ingenuity and you have a hilarious comedy film the like of which you will not have seen before. So, put your tongue firmly in your cheek, stiffen your upper lip and prepare to be shaken and stirred by 1884: Yesterday’s Future.

Influences for the character of Zoe Connolly (Part 2)

In my previous post The Fictional Influences for the character of Zoe Connolly (Part 1), I introduced Diana Rigg as one of many action heroine influences for my portrayal in Second Life.

In this post I feature the always beautiful Raquel Welch as skydiving super-spy Fathom and as Elle mentioned in her own post, Sophia Loren....

Sugar and Spice: Raquel Welch Is Fathom-tastic!







Raquel Welch and Sophia Loren are two more women with influence on my avatars appearance as Zoe Connolly. What are your influences and how do they manifest in the virtual world of Second Life?

Look for Part 3 tomorrow....

Assignment Earth 1944

Our new assignment was long overdue. Although with so many members of the team recovering from our last mission, perhaps it was just right..

One of our best agents, Avery Robbiani, was still on medical leave and may not make this one. But that's why all of us train for any contingency. We need to step in when a team member falls.



For the time being I set aside thoughts of my crew and entered the planetary database room. From here I could select any known planet's historical database and identify problems in the timeline.



Now that I had my clue from the President of New Gallifrey, I selected Earth and determined the source of her concern.

July 1944...

The nation-state known as Nazi Germany. Trouble with a Capital T!



A renegade Time Lord was planning to interfere with Earth's history. Their intention is to give advanced weaponry to the National Socialist regime in Germany. Hitler would have V2 Rockets with Atomic Bombs!

Earth's timeline would be altered forever, giving a madman complete rule over the planet by a madwoman from another time and place.



It was now my assignment to gather my team, plan and execute our mission.

1) Remove or destroy all non-historical record artifacts from the spacetime disrupted area.

2) Remove or destroy the renegade Time Lord from Earth.

I returned to the Time Tunnel and made some notes....



....but what was most disturbing about the clue from the President, was the name of our TimeLord-of-Interest.
