Chantal Harvey one of Second Life’s most respected Machinimaographers, has just been made Producer of the 48 hour Machinima Film Project, which will be held on the 5th Nov 09. On this weeks Tonight Live with Paisley Beebe, she talks serious Machinima, and how the 48 HFP is going to be planned and acheived,where each artist has only 48 hours to create a 4 to 7 minute film  and send it in for judging. It goes to 75 cities, and to virtual worlds/games now too. We also get a sneek preview of her yet to be released short film!

Alaskan singer/songwriter Blues Heron streams his live shows from his home studio on a small island on the coast of Alaska. His name is Blues but he writes and plays in a wide variety of styles. He is most influenced by songwriters who have a message or tell a good story backed with some great guitar work like Richard Thompson, Keb Mo, Bruce Cockburn, Eric Bibb and Jack Johnson. Blues will be entertaining us with one of his compositions and talking music with Paisley on this weeks show.

This Week ON Tonight Live

This week 13th September on “Tonight Live with Paisley Beebe” 6pm slt at The Tonight Live Studio

Nasus Dumart and her partner Apple MacKay are co-authors of the latest book on Second Life® Titled “The Unofficial Guide to Building Your Buisness In The Virtual World of Second Life®”

Apple owns Molaskey’s Pub in partnership with Katydid Something – Nassus is the Director of Marketing for Molaskey’s Pub and Producer / Host of The Guest Lecture Series. What makes a successful business in Second Life, and who is achieving this and how?

We also meet Niles Compton a Country Music Singer who has been a musician all his working life. His band was one of the starter bands at a Johnny Cash concert. His voice has been described as one of the “best voices” you will ever hear.

If you are in the Music scene in Second Life and haven’t heard about Mankind Tracers proposition to the music industry for “pay for entry” Venue arrangements, then you don’t spend enough time here in Second Life…Some love the idea, some hate it and have had very passionate and some violent reactions to it. Mankind has held a few concerts now under his newly proposed system, and had time to process the feedback from the community both Musicians Agents and Venue owners. I’ll be asking Mankind some tough questions about his proposal, and catching up with the result in his experience, of this new system of asking audience members at music venues to pay a fee to stay and listen to his concerts. If audiences refuse to pay they can  be under this new system be ejected from the venue. Mankind Tracer is considered to be the highest profile and most popular Musician in Second Life, he feels he is taking a huge risk to that popularity by implementing his new system. How is it going so far?
